- Nicolas - have you supplied any of your data to the appropriate NBOs, i.e. not ACBL, that might be able to: a) begin parallel investigation b) act before a possibly tainted team trial/selection is held c) prevent WBF from again being in the position where there is need for ...
- USBF convention cards
- WBF does archive PDFs Jan and I are discussing creating an archive for convention cards used in USBF events. Implementation would be my responsibility
- USBF convention cards
- see also https://bridgewinners.com/article/view/viewing-top-pairs-convention-cards/?cj=900327#c900327 in most cases, usbf just creates link to CC that lives in bridgewinners. the error message from bridgewinners is a result of the players nuking that card or editing the CC and saving with new name instead of saving ...
- Format for 3-way Match with 2 survivors
- as a non-player, one of my motivations is elimination of special cases, so how is this for a definistion: whenever a team plays against more than one team in any phase, that is treated as a RR and scored by VPs. another way to say this is: any phase where ...
- Format for 3-way Match with 2 survivors
- i am certain that all aspects of bridge scoring are confusing, befuddling and/or unfair to some. Arguments for/against are best explained in context of format. ex: (IMPs) Team A did than Team B better on 75% of the boards but lost because the total point/imp score was ...
- Format for 3-way Match with 2 survivors
- i propose a situation where you have a choice of 2 financial planners Portfolio for A Q1 gained 2K Q2 lost 100K Portfolio for B Q1 lost 5K Q2 lost 5K Which planner do you choose for Q3?
- Format for 3-way Match with 2 survivors
- confession - the possibility of just 1 day to eliminate 1 team helped me misread the opening paragraph of https://usbf.org/2020-u31-junior-usbc/2020-u31-junior-usbc/index.php I thought we would only be sending USA1, but a re-read does show that in a 3-team event there will still be a face-to-face Final ...
- Format for 3-way Match with 2 survivors
- thanks Peter i was sure about spinderbilt never using VPs my understanding of 2020 U31 is different though. IF 3-way to determine 2 teams for Italy, then i would expect many more boards and 1-day event never a possible format. but i have been wrong before
- Format for 3-way Match with 2 survivors
- 1) spinderbilt 3-ways are in lieu of head-to-head KO matches. VPs never come into play even as tie break. I believe, but am not 100% confident, those ties broken by imp quotient 2) the OP is for mechanism to determine which 2 teams meet in a head-to-head KO Final that ...
- Format for 3-way Match with 2 survivors
- seems as though your proposal is for a RR with win-loss determination and VPs as 1st level tie break i don't think any organization has supported that approach in the 21st century
