paulg Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 This is old but probably still true: https://www.bridgebase.com/help/v2help/completion_rates.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 The only thing missing from there is that daylong tournaments don't count. Robot duplicate tournaments count towards increasing completion, but bailing doesn't count negatively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbb483 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 You need to add another case to the MCR statements - if BBO cuts your connection midhand it will count against you - even if you log back in and reseat yourself and continue the hand.

MCR and TCR are separate statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbb483 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 And it inconviences me - especially when I'm not being slow, the system is just having a hissy fit - and its getting very annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbb483 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I've just been watching the 'interesting tables' on the main bridge club - the top 5 tables have 6 robots between them, and robots are randomly coming and going. You can't tell me that in that arena so many players are that inconsiderate. I suggest you have a problem with your software that determines when to disconnect a player, and you need to resolve it.

mycroft Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 They do, they know, and they're working on it. Really they are. It's a lower priority than dealing with kick-outs from paid tournaments (at least part of which pay for said servers, and said people looking at it). But it's a high priority. Code that's written now for net-based games is designed from day 1 to bring servers online and offline as capacity requires, with cross-server talk as needed. BBO was designed in the 20th century. Having said that, I assume that the people looking for 95% MCR aren't getting anyone any more, and will have to go down to 90% or 80% to get people. (Those who believe I am a "BBO can do no wrong" type are welcome to search my history. They're in a "great, but awful" situation, and they're handling it better than they could. I've been in similar situations, and I know my reaction, so some of the way *I* pay for BBO is to take some of it instead.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbb483 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 and today I was kicked out whilst I was dummy - how does that work? What am I supposed to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkera80 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I find it very irritating when somone leaves mid-hand, or worse mid-bidding, especially when they make a stupid bid and leave - I am sure that is not software related, it is people being inconsiderate. I always start a new table with my partner and set 95% MCR but like mycroft says I often have to reduce this to 80% to get opponents.
