mohitz Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Is there any place I can get the results of the Rosenblum? The WBF website isn't being updated it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 The Wednesday Bulletin is on the website now, it has the scores even though the results page on the website is still blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahollan1 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Quick updates are available at http://bridgewinners.com/running-live-scores but don't stop there - the site offers up many goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdct Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 The links page on ecatsbridge has a few sources for live scores, one of which seems to be taking a live bridgemate feed and has very timely information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberlour10 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Does anybody know in which way/key teams will be seeded after RR? or there will be only random pairings drawn by lot in R64? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanM Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 According to today's Bulletin: "At the end of the round robin in the Rosenblum and McConnell, the knockout phase will begin. The brackets will be formed taking into account both the WBF master points and the ranking in the round robin." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimG Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Warning: rant. I find the WBF results pages very difficult to navigate. I went to: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelphia.10/Results.htm and clicked on Rosenblum Round Robin Results, to get to: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelp...Results/RRO.htm then selected cross table rank for group A, to get to: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelp...sp?qtournid=855 There seems to be no way to get the basic information of who is on these teams from this page. Nor can I navigate from this page to the "results" or "participants" page. I back up until I have a "participants" option and go to: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelp...articipants.htm and then select "world knockout teams" to get to: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelp...qtournidend=870 where there is a drop down menu and a "show teams" button. I select "all" and click the "show teams" button and nothing happens. Nor does anything happen when I select a specific country. If I can't get a participants list and I can't find out who is on which team from the results pages, how am I supposed to figure out what team which players are on?

BunnyGo Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I agree that WBF site seems hard to use. I've found this site: http://www.swangames.com/magic/magic/www.p...h=0000000000111 To be very easy to use and cross-reference--and for the teams I wanted to follow that weren't on vugraph I could get up to the minute updates.

The brackets will be formed taking into account both the WBF master points and the ranking in the round robin."There is little doubt that my team, British Lions, will be one of the least known and probably holds the fewest WBF masterpoints. However we did win our group, so our seeding will be an indicator of how important the round-robin is relative to reputation past performance.

The Butler scores for each pair are all on one page, and the team name is there for each pair too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it's a pity that Cardsharp's British Lions have drawn the Irish Green machine. A bit frustrating for the losers to travel all that way to be eliminated in a KO first-round local-Derby. Anyway, Good luck Cardsharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 It's also a pity that the Irish are quite good. But go get them Paul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 It's also a pity that the Irish are quite good. But go get them Paul! And unfortunate that the irish having led their group for a long while finished 3rd in the end, or they wouldn't have got this draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy69 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Amazing that the WBF can't do a better job with results. It isn't the software because the same thing was used by the EBL for the European in Ostend and the service was good. No results other than in the bulletin for the round robin for two days and a results service vastly worse than Swan Games. They really ought to get a grip and produce something worthwhile. I fear that the spectators have joined the players as really not very important in the world of the WBF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twcho Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Probably WBF totally rely on the services provided by Swan Games resultwise. And this is OK for me but it will be better if there is a link for live score in the WBF webpage too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomi2 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Cayne and Lavazza, who failed to win their groups, where they had "waek" opps because of theirs high seeding remain seeded 3 and 4isnt that unfair to those teams who won their gropus unexpectedly and those who were seeded 5th and 6th and won their groups? think they must adjust the pre-tourney seeding somehow, and at least they should have published HOW they will fill the brackets. Now they made something in the middle of the night, nobody knows what... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberlour10 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Considering how extraordinary strong this 64er field really is, I think the "mysterious" seedings have not a lot of influence... there are now all top world class players in, many de facto national teams "hidden" behind unknown names,and they will play against each other already in R64 or R32.Spingold and Vanderbilt are very tough KO tournaments, but this field beats them by far. After all, this is World Championship, nobody should expect a "bit of luck" in his bracket. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they made something in the middle of the night, nobody knows what... Agree the paring method should be published, in advance. I would expected more America v America pairings. The American teams are spread fairly uniformly over the brackets, reducing the chance of them eliminating each other early. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterGill Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'm astonished that so many intelligent people on BBO don't know that to find the R64 draw, you simply go to the Supplemental Conditions of Contest, freely available under the heading Information on the WBF website for the event, as has been the case for WBF events for at least one decade, to see the whole 64 team draw, published in advance several months ago. Regarding all the other complaints about WBF results, websites and anything else, I can find nothing to say in defense of the WBF except that the WBF is about to have a new President who hopefully might try to head such things in the right direction.

PeterGill Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Oops - when I posted, I had looked at only pages 21 and 23 of those regs. Now that I have seen page 22 more closely, about re-seeding being posted on-site, I understand your complaints. Sorry about my error.
