euclidz Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I have experienced occasions when some ignorant/arrogant players have left the table mid-play (last night mid-play whilst declarer). When I look at my own profile I see a 'Board Completion Rate' as a percentage statistic. Why don't I see that when I look at the profile of others? Why is there no sanction for this type of behaviour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euclidz Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 If someone invites you I believe you see their rate. I am not sure what you mean by 'invites' but I can see that if I am sat at a table with other players I can not see their board completion rate.

euclidz Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Q. Why would BBO implement a feature that calculates the Board Completion Rates?A. So that others can see it and make a choice as the whether they are prepared to play with someone who has a low percentage of completing games. But - I can only see it if that person invites me to play in a tournament - WHY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Q. Why would BBO implement a feature that calculates the Board Completion Rates? A. To set limits of loyal behaviour for entry to free automated tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also used for automatic blocking. If you create a tourney and set the minimum TCR, players with lower rates are automatically excluded.

gbb483 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don't intentionally quit during a game, but my BCR is going down - presumably because everytime BBO drops my connection mid-game it blames me for it. Thanks BBO - a double whammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks BBO - a double whammy.Don't think of it as "blaming you". It's just keeping track of statistics. Regardless of the reason, you're likely to get disconnected, so someone who wants stable players at their table shouldn't let you in.

My TCR is 100 percent, but I didn't notice my BCR dropping until recently. It's at 97 percent now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at 97 percent now.It's 100% now. You dropped out once 31 days ago. We calculate the percentage based on the trailing 30 days, so that counted against you until today. The reason your BCR dropped is because you finished 9 boards on May 17. When that fell out of the 30 day window, your total number of boards dropped (because you haven't played any new hands since June 7). So you changed from finishing 42 boards out of 43 (98%) to 33 out of 34 (97%). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrygirl2 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 My board completion rate has gone down, I think it might be because I have started having weekly teaching sessions on BBO and sometimes for various reasons the teacher changes the hands dealt so it appears we haven't finished the hand. Could the software separate out teaching hands so that it doesn't affect an individual's completion rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm pretty sure BCR doesn't count teaching tables, only regular tables/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
