Play for Double Points – August 7–10
Earn 200% Black Points in the ACBL Clubhouse! Things are heating up in the ACBL ...
Starting next week, you’ll notice something new (and nice!) when you check the results of ACBL games on BBO: player name.
At the request of the ACBL, and many players, BBO will begin displaying players’ names (as registered with the ACBL) in the results of all ACBL games on BBO.
The information comes directly from the ACBL. We simply display the name associated with your ACBL number. Nothing changes for non-ACBL games results.
This ACBL driven update, is part of a broader effort to bring more connection and community to online ACBL games. More to come…
One could always find out one's opponents' names by clicking their user ID. Thus, neither more or less "exposed" than before.
I don't think this is necessary. But thank you.
Oh great, another way to lose anonymity and feel shame! Those of us who dont have titles and lots of points still want to play and get better. It just discourages new people further.
Hopefully, this change will also reduce bad behavior. No more hiding behind your BBO ID (when you don't display your name).
What if you don't want to have your name published?
