Thks Diana - I was waiting for Gordon to accept our final set and it's still sitting there.Gordon is up by plenty from the first three, ca. 50 imps, so he would be going through if he was online. Can the comish advise what to do?

 

 

Gordon is out, he still can't access BBO from Cuba (blocked by BBO's ISP). He sends his apologies.

 

Any chance he's back before the weekend?

 

I'll have little choice but to have him drop out of the tournament if he cannot be back, despite the huge lead, but I really don't want to see this.

For the gordontd vs. el mister I'll have to drop gordontd despite the lead. There will be no additional penalty, but I'll have to let the tournament move on.

 

Sry forgot to post about Gordon. He won't be back until next year and he's having a lot of troubles with internet in Cuba. He appreciates how supportive BBFers have been.

Olegru challenged but set up the format as MPs :(

 

I 7NT xx'd each hand to spit out the challenge. Olegru needs to run through as well and then issue a new challenge.

Done.

I hope correctly that time.

Sorry about the mistake.

By the way, curious if GIB play the same way match points and IMPs

The program tries to distinguish, but I don't think the design is very good about it. When it performs simulations it calculates the estimated IMP and MP differences, and chooses the action that has the best average result for the current scoring method. But sometimes the results can be skewed heavily by a few outlier results. Probably if it simulated more hands these would not skew the results so much.

 

This is also why GIB often doesn't find safety plays.

We were planning to finish this thing before Christmas. So Phil-Olegru and el mister-broze, please plan on finishing today and tomorrow or worst case Saturday. It got so slow.

Although I still prefer finishing this as soon as possible, we can give people some time for Christmas and New Year break. However I agree quarterfinal should be finished before the Christmas.
