poppagene Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 The last 2 Mondays, I played in the Just Declare Free Daylong tournament. I was surprised to see that the preliminary matchpoint scores showed up after each board was completed. Is this an experiment, a new normal, or a glitch in the BBO software?

PrecisionL Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Standard Barometer Scoring for many MP and IMP games with Robots and virtual games with and without robots. There are several Robot games that do not use Barometer scoring (Best Hand is one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new feature that we are experimenting with, for some of the daylongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Excellent idea.Can it be included in the challenge area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Excellent idea.Can it be included in the challenge area?This wouldn't be a good idea - it would give far too great an advantage to the person playing the challenge second, knowing whether to play safe or not.

I meant, specifically, the challenges vs robot - where you can specify 'not best hand'.Good practice (for me anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeno123 Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 It's a new feature that we are experimenting with, for some of the daylongs. Seems to come and go at random. My strong preference would be to use it always (at least for the daylongs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Seems to come and go at random. My strong preference would be to use it always (at least for the daylongs).It's not random, but we haven't enabled it for all daylongs. It's enabled for the weekday free daylongs, the pay BBO and ACBL daylongs. But not the Super Sunday daylong. I don't remember if it's enabled for the two-day Saturday/Sunday tourneys.
