Keene_JP Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 BBO allows you to enter a fractional time per board but then rounds that to nearest integer which seems to be what it keeps. We would like to run 6.5 per board => 13 min per 2 board round. SO -- how does Speedball get 3 boards in 14 minutes (it is 14, not 15) => 4.67 per board?

bjacobs Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Or alternatively, if fractions are a problem, minutes per round. It would be helpful because for me, about 6.5 minutes is what I want per board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 The server multiplies minutes/board by boards/round to get minutes/round, and then rounds this off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I entered 6.7 minutes/board for a 3-board round, I would get a 20 minute round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesurina Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 When I enter 6.5 minutes per board it is excpeted, but when I create the tournament it jumps to 7 and the round times 14 for 2 board rounds or 21 for 3 board rounds. I cannot get it to 13 minutes for a two board round. Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackshoe Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I would suggest y'all read the fine manual, but I suspect there ain't one. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjacobs Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I would suggest y'all read the fine manual, but I suspect there ain't one. :( There's a document (https://blog.bridgebase.com/2020/04/02/the-virtual-club-manager-manual/) that is rather incomplete, and not updated to reflect updates to the software. Experimented at length today: you can't use fractions. It rounds the minutes per board that you put in to an integer, then multiplies by the number of boards per round.

Qwasimodo Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think that we all find the "Whole Minutes" per board frustrating. Coding to be able to put "Tenths of a Minute" is easy. That would be so much better. It's done that way for BB$ - It's in Cents!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
