This is a pet peeve of mine, particularly when hand delt hands are used. It's as ridiculous as pair overalls without duplication.Even with duplicated boards, VP vs win/loss are different games. I prefer win/loss as a purer contest with the current opponent and brings state of the match into the forefront. In mixed fields bunny bashing early is at a premium, not good for the play and is less pleasant at the table. The ACBL and perhaps the players seem to prefer VP, even with hand delt boards. Sigh.

I’m happy for the luck factor to play its part.It seems that big scores in the final round may be viewed suspiciously. Big scores in earlier rounds are not always noticed. Can anyone help please with why converting matchpoints to VPs may be desirab.Does it produce more deserving winners? Is there mathematical proof of this?Is it so bad to do what players prefer?Jan _______________________________________________ Blml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rtflb.org/mailman/listinfo/blml _______________________________________________ Blml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rtflb.org/mailman/listinfo/blml
