Howell ran as a Mitchell ?

[Keene_JP]

Tourney 87763 was set as an 18 table Howell with 9 rounds of 2:

+allavail+ +howell+ +nap+ +hm18+

 

We had 8 tables. I have been told that if we got to 9 tables it would automagically switch to Mitchell -- but that seems to have happened with only 8.

 

Could someone explain how this all works ?

 

Thanks.

+hm18+ only works with 3-6 tables otherwise will run as a Mitchell with 7 plus tables and revenge rounds if 9 rounds of 2 boards set, for rounds 8 and 9. What you should have set is +allavail+ +howell+ +rounds9+ then that will run 9 rounds of 2 boards with any number of tables 5 or greater.

 

+hm18+ will run 6 rounds of 3 boards with 3 or 4 tables (revenge round with 3) and 9 rounds of 2 with 5 or 6 tables.

 

Not sure what +nap+ does.

+nap+ sets game as a NAP qualifier (ACBL only).
