bluejak Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Integrity? I do not agree that seeing previous scores affects the integrity of the competition in any way. Perhaps it is your use of buzz word, ie a word that gives an effect of itself and rather than a logical argument. There are arguments for not showing previous scores, of course, but not to do with the integrity of the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I don't think that applies in an open World Championship, where people are generally able to make good estimates of their scores, and the integrity of the competion is of high importance to almost everyone.Unless anyone has heard rumors of such a movement, I think we can all safely assume that we're just talking about low level games. But I was surprised at the mention above that EBU recommends making scores visible in their tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordontd Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I was surprised when they told us to start doing itThey got a lot of complaints from members who felt they were getting a lesser service by not being able to see the results when they could see them at their local club. This came with the introduction of Bridgemate IIs, which allow the scores to be listed in frequency format (rather than by individual result), and so take up less space (and time) on the screen than formerly.

All four of my posts in this thread have been about World and European events. As I said in my first post, in WBF and EBL pairs events the bridgemates are normally set to show the scores after you have entered a result.

There are arguments for not showing previous scores, of course, but not to do with the integrity of the competition."Integrity" may be a buzz-word when used by some people, but when I use it I intend the dictionary definition. In this case I meant "The condition of not being marred or violated, unimpaired or uncorrupted condition, original state, soundness" (NSOED). You'll find my arguments, which I believe to be logical, in post 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous, IMHO, except for barometer events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
