thepossum Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Its just during some of the tourneys, the rank displayed is the position in the strata or "rank" you are in A, B or CI would just prefer to see my position in the A rank, not the B or C Sometimes number 1 in B or C is a good position. Other times its half way down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 The rank that's displayed while the tournament is in progress is within your section, but I think it's overall rank, not stratum. Ranks are calculated at the end of the round, and different sections can change rounds at different times, so it doesn't make sense to calculate across sections until the end.

thepossum Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 recent case in point 1st in C strata in my section actually 10th out of 15 but I earned a fraction of some kind of point for it It kind of also gets confusing the rank/strata thing because "rank" is used in different ways I feel guilty stealing points from C-rankers, even B-rankers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is about the running score during the tournament, not the final score and points earned. In ACBL tournaments, you get either section awards within each stratum you're eligible for, or overall awards if you're in the top 6, whichever is higher. You're not "stealing" from anyone. If you didn't place high in B, you don't affect the ranks of the B players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
