Some clubs in the US get it done nicely too: http://www.quicktric...121112_391.html (usual club game)

Just looking at this now -- it's OK, but it lacks the ability to click on a pair and get their personal score.

I am curious; maybe someone in the US can answer this: why have a stratified game when it looks as if there are enough pairs to separate the flights?

I don't know enough about movements, strats etc to comment on that but one thing that happens here that I find bewildering is we have
a game running 2 sections (non duplicated boards) and the results are posted as section results and an overall result. I've never understood
how you can get an overall result when the 2 sections are playing different boards.

In the US you can even see "overall" winners from a 2-winner movement without arrow-switching.

I don't see any reason not to use duplicated boards for a game with two sections. Even if for some reason the club does not have a duplicating machine, it does not take too long to make up a couple of sets by hand, and you will still be able to give out hand records.

ACBLScore lets you do a lot of things that don't make any sense. :lol:

I learned to play in the US. When I was a beginner, I loved the stratified pairs. You got to play with the big guys and you still had an idea how you were doing compared to those with similar masterpoint holdings. I don't know how the A-players felt (or how I would feel right now), but I liked stratified pairs much better than flighted pairs.

Very nice and smart presentation usefull for subsequent other studies about hand, shape and biddings and play of the hand (by players with high profile). I've watched something of that about scores in English clubs (such at Deva Club when i searching Peter Hall) and strongly suggest at BBO to adopt it.(Lovera)
