DSEdwards Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have been playing in the Relaxed Club as a private four for months but get fed up with the weird scores at other tables.Are scores only compared in the Relaxed Club and are scores more sensible in the Main Club?

So I assume (but not sure) that if you are playing in the Relaxed club your scores are compared to 15 other pairs playing in the Relaxed club. Diana_Eva is more qualified to elaborate than I am. Perhaps she will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will only give you a couple of comparisons, but generally they will be with experts and more sensible. You will still get the odd strange comparison: experts are not perfect; not everyone who plays on Vugraph is an expert (there are a few junior and club events); and rarely the Vugraph record was corrupt and has not been corrected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBO scores duplicate hands using Cross-IMPS across 16 tables of similar rank. Unfortunately the scores for Beginner and Intermediate tables tend to be a bit random. The Main Club would be a bit better. Total Point is not scored as Duplicate, which avoids this problem, but without Duplicating the side with the most As and Ks wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scored +400 in 3NT the other day and won one imp playing an old Spingold match. This seemed pretty odd, so I took a look at the other tables. They had perpetrated +800 in 3NTxx and -150 in 3NT. Just another imp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinish Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 One option is to play Vugraph boards (table menu->Deal source).<snip>How is this option accessed? I play on the casual side with three friends. We play matchpoints. Under the "table menu", there is no "deal source" option. Am I correct that this "table menu" is the one that can be accessed after the game has been started and before the first hand has been dealt - for example while waiting for all invited persons to join? Thanks. G'day, Vinish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.It's only available when you choose IMPs scoring. It's in the blue "hamburger" menu, just below "Table options". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
