Phase 2 Barometers and leader boards show the results of Daily MPS Boards played in the DIDO Tourney Introduction The DIDO Tourney is a 'Drop in Drop out" tournament that runs on a daily basis in the Daily MPs room, but at a time to suit you and partner and NOT at a fixed time. The Dido Tourney will allow all members, where ever they live, to take part in a pseudo movement tourney which more realistically approaches a real life tournament at any time convenient to them. One can play just 4 boards at a time as the Dido Tourney is truly Drop-in, Drop-out. Also one can play with different partners at different times. (The Dido Tourney will effectively replace the Daily Tourneys B & C which ran at different fixed times, targetted for members in other time zones.) A ladder for ALL those ( and not just the top 100) who gain DIDO Points is updated weekly and accumulates all DPs earned using a decaying function so that the most recent points count the most. ( see details and examples ) This is designed so that new players can gain a place on the ladder as previous high scorers who do not gain more DPs, will drop down the ladder thus giving this opportunity. How it worksA member would enter the Daily MPs Room in the normal manner and then be offered the choice of playing precisely in the way in which the Daily MPs Room operates currently OR he would be able to choose to play in a DIDO Tourney session of 4 boards with a partner of his choice. The member will be able to play as many DIDO Tourney sessions as he likes during the course of a deal with the same or many different partners but he will never play more than 4 boards (except if a crash occurs on the first board) against any other member during the same deal. Those members who have arranged to play with a particular partner will enter the room and anchor their partner by using ‘Set as Partner’, whereas those members without a prearranged partner will need to use ‘Find a Partner’ and/or ‘Invite a Partner’ before applying ‘Set as Partner’ to the partner that they’ve teamed up with. Any member who plays 16 or more boards (minimum of 4 x 4-board sessions) in the DIDO Tourney during the course of a deal will qualify for the DIDO Tourney Leader Board. Scoring of all boards will be across the whole field in the Daily MPs Room ensuring meaningful scores for the DIDO Tourney. Obviously no member will be able to play a board twice, nor be able to play a board that he has kibbed. The top quarter of the DIDO Tourney Leader Board will be awarded DPs on the same scale as BCL issue OMPs in other movement events. Those members who qualify to receive master points through their National Bridge Organisation will receive them where appropriate in the normal way. The DIDO Tourney LadderA DIDO Ladder will maintain a running record of DPs awarded but they will ‘decay’ with time. Here are some examples of the details we may provide in the the future.
Each week, the number of DPs accumulated in to date will be reduced by 33% and added to the number of DPs earned in the current week to make a total for that week. This process is repeated on each subsequent week. A detailed Web page will show all the DPs earned over the last 13 weeks and how they are accumulated to your current ladder position.
