- Is there something better than BBO?
- So many people have advanced robots now. I think when you play at times that so many people play at the same time, there is a memory related problem for running defensive simulations and robot acts lazy(!).
- A Taste of Junior Bridge: The White House Finals 2017
- It is not EBL-only - US, Australia and a few South Americda and Far Eastern countries played in it before.
- Improving the Seeding Process
- Thanks Brian - the way you used looks fair, but it would be nice to put a note about this on the document (at least for the future events), because current version misrepresents what you do:)
- Improving the Seeding Process
- Hey Brian, I was the author of one of the articles about the seedings in Vandy. I presented the following scenario: "X is a player who collected 100 SP in ACBL events, and he did not play with a cheating pair, so he automatically has 50SP for Vandy since it ...

- Is the Math Correct? Negative Adjustments in the Seeding Points for Vandy
- I did not open this thread for discussing the seeding system - I was thinking that I would get some discussion on my adjustment argument!?
- Is the Math Correct? Negative Adjustments in the Seeding Points for Vandy
- LV also collected a lot of points in the States - you sure that all 120 based on their WBF? Also any explanation why that 14 is taken from 50, not from 120?
