- Rating Study from ACBL Tournaments
- @Ryerson I think the pair rating is a feature. It is more meaningful than an individual rating, and adds a dimension that does not compete with masterpoints. Some of us play with several partners and it would be of interest to see the various ratings and how they change over ...
- Rating Study from ACBL Tournaments
- This is great. If implemented, it would give partnerships a tangible measure of progress. A question: do you think the scheme could usefully be extended to include club games? Also curious how your scheme differs from "Power ratings" for pairs. I get the impression that the PR scheme for a ...
- Just a simple little survey
- Most of the people at our club are as honest as the day is long. But one consistently psyches in this situation. Our doubles here are responsive but I wonder if we can make them penalty against just him, so documented on the convention card?

- Common Game Tuesday 12 February Deal 14
- It's not obvious to me. I've worked all morning at it. Now 12:18 EDT and hoping someone will post a solution.
- To bid or not to bid?
- [i] To bid, or not to bid, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler . . . . . . . . . Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their ...
- Improve bidding and lead polls.
- I somewhat disagree. Actual results could be more distraction than improvement, injecting largely irrelevant information into the discussion space I admit I’m often curious about the actual results, because the bidding or lead decisions are usually iffy, but hey, they represent just one possible configuration so I don’t ...
