Yeah, I can see how you can cheat. Before you play a board, call all your friends up and find out who has played that board, then ask him/her what you should do. Do that for all 12 boards, and you will end up with a 90%+ game. Easy!
Not everyone plays the same hands.
i was also concerned about players cheating by playing hands for a second time.with so many entries you must have many hands available.
can you just cofirm how many hands deals you use.\\this will make it clear that bridge players can play duplicate at 80%
The Robots are bizarre. Not consistent and eratic.
Is there some easy way to find out where you placed. I get dizzy going through all the results. It would be awesome to just click on your log in and find your results
Hi Sarah,
Very easy to do. Pull up the results. Click the Ctrl+F keys (means Find) then type your BBO username in the Find in page space in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, and click Enter. Then use the down arrow keys you'll see next to the Find in page space where you typed your username. Easy peasy đ
I want to know if the tournament will be stratified by points. I donât want to sign If there is no stratification because most of the players will be more experience than me.I would appreciate an answer soon so that I can sign up if indeed it is a stratified game. If the robot tournament is stratified can you tell me what this ratifications will be. Thank you
Hi Isabel, the spring NABC robot is stratified yes. Find everything here as mentioned: https://news.bridgebase.com/nabc-robot-individual/
Good luck!
I couldn't find or enter it.
This is a Robot tournament. Please explain how one could cheat in a Robot tournament.
one could log in under the online name of a friend and play the tournament. then, after getting results, play again under your real name. I of course have not done this, but I can't see anything to prevent it happening.
Boards used for a robot tourney come from a large pool of possible deals. For example my second day results say that there were 2675 entrants (I won't say my rank đ ). Yet each individual deal in my result was played only about 50 times, according to the traveler.
I would like to be sure BBO has a method to track cheating. Online cheating is the deterrent to participation in big tournaments
Could not play in 2nd practice tournament. Said the tournament was not able to play. Carol Borich
