I think masterpoint brackets are silly and outdates. Average masterpoint brackets are about equally silly and equally outdated.

What would you suggest Han? At our club the lady that signs everyone in just asks everyone "What bracket would you like to play in today?" - or just do away with brackets so that our 'C' players who very rarely score 50% never get into the money because of the several 'A' pairs who very rarely score below 55%?

Why should players who rarely score 50% expect to get in the money with any regularity?

Because the reason people play is to get masterpoints so everyone should get them! :)

I picked up a small number of masterpoints for a 49% the other day.

Because masterpoints are free for the ACBL to award and gets beginners players to their goal of becoming a LM. About 30-40% of the pairs get MPs at my club , I wouldn't object to 50% of pairs getting MPs.

Where were you while we were getting high?

I think it is a fairly good idea because my club is pretty lopsided. I will start it as soon as ACBLscore is modified to do the calculations automatically. We have playing volunteer directors and certainly don't have time to figure it all out during the game.

I agree with what cherdanno said, I thought the talk was about brackets as in, deciding who plays whom.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
