Peter_f Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Is this correct? In former times (begin of 2012) the winner of a robot tourney got 0.80 BBO masterpoints.This seems to be reduced to 0.60 - but I saw no notification of this.

barmar Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 This was an ACBL change, not ours. We announced it in December. See http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/news_fetch.php?id=910. Specifically, it said:12 board games, like the ones we run here, will award 60% of the full award (down from the current 80%). What we didn't mention, though, is that we use the same formula for BBO masterpoints as ACBL masterpoints, so the BBO points got reduced as well. Sorry for the confusion. We recently started offering 18 board human-only tournaments to make up for this change. Longer robot tourneys are coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgoetze Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Longer robot tourneys are coming soon. How about robot tourneys where one can actually break even with a 55% average? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
