Edmig2 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I now have assessed 3.51 pts, yet my ranking still shows 2 1/2. It also indicates that I need 1.49 pts to advance to next level 3.Is BBO assessment tool broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 The BBO master point award is a scale from 2 to A (ace) - https://www.bridgebase.com/points/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Level 2 is for points between 1 and 5, level 3 is for 5-20 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBO site indicates the progression starts at level 1 then advances to level 5; but why do so many players have ratings at level 3 and level 4?

smerriman Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 The BBO site indicates the progression starts at level 1 then advances to level 5; but why do so many players have ratings at level 3 and level 4?I'm not sure what you're referring to - the link above doesn't say anything about 5 levels; it shows levels ranging from 2 (1+ points) to infinity (eg 22 is 2200 points). Are you talking about something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 The BBO site indicates the progression starts at level 1 then advances to level 5; but why do so many players have ratings at level 3 and level 4? The rankings increase as you acquire more masterpoints - these can be from anywhere and are converted to BBO points at whatever the conversion factor is.The reason that you see so many people with a rank of 1-4 is because the ranking scale increases linearly but the number of points need to go up a level is on a log scale.So you need only 1+ points to get a rank of 2 20+ points to get a '4' and 500+ points to get a '9'.This means that most players are clustered around the 2-5 rank unless they are A) really excellent and win a lot of daylong tourneys or B) very rich or C) devious.
