I think they did something like that a long time ago and the robot was like 56 %. Ofc the field for this will probably be stronger, but the robots have also gotten better, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was somewhere around there if they tried it.

 

Everyone likes to complain about the bots but they are much better than most humans.

Practice tournament's conditions seem to be inaccurate. They state: "Please note that you must play at least one board each day to be able to play the next day."

 

I played 3 boards, didn't get around to finishing the rest. 3>1, so I should have qualified to practice the next day, yet there's no practice tournament available to me today.

According to our records you already played all your boards today. So you saw the tourney and played it out. Look in Completed Tournaments if there are provisional results available.

 

Oh well good :) My mistake then, and I apologize! Then I should see day 3 of 3 tomorrow (or late tonight). I played a number of robot tourneys yesterday, and must have randomly participated in the practice one without realizing it. My bad!

Without Stratification there really isn't much of a reason for anyone but the top players to compete with each other if u expect to earn points... and its expensive if you know yr not going to have a chance at points.. They need stratification to interest more players. and interesting that it seems like the total number of players playing so far is about equal to the numbers I've encountered playing the "daylong" tournament events.

 

With stratification there should be more

It seems like there *is* stratification? Check out the results from today's Daily Bulletin (pages 19-22). Some people are getting more masterpoints than those above them.

No, there's no stratification. Can you give examples of players who got more than someone above them?

 

The session masterpoint formula is very simple: (18*4) / (rank + 5) red points, except for first place, which gets 12 red + 6 gold. No points below 1.00 are awarded (there was an error on the first day, we published fractional awards, but that's been fixed).

Ok I wondered when I saw the first day in the bulletin they showed places down to 300 for the section. so this was a mistake then? Actually I think that is how they should have done it IMHO.

They changed it for the overall awards. They were given to the top 35% of the field, so it included fractional awards.
