Section imbalance is a thing that happens a lot in the larger events on BBO. That's something you get used to. But sometimes it just gets ridiculous. I thought my partner and I were unlucky to fail to scratch after finishing 14th out of 70 pairs. But then we saw what happened to the pair ahead of us in our section.

A Flight C pair finished 7th overall, out of 70 pairs, and scored no masterpoints for the effort.

I'm sure the rules are the ACBLs and not BBOs but this is just absurd. I checked and there were 24 pairs seeded into Flight C in the event, as you'd expect mathematically. All 22 other Flight C pairs in the other sections scored lower than this pair.
