Mycket beror att vi i Sverige spelar barometer och då underlättar RUTER-programmet alldeles oerhört. Inte bara att man har funktionen misstänkta resultat, det har ju de flesta scoringprogram, men i ruter kan man sätta det på automatiken och dessutom anger programmet vad spelarna som presterade det misstänkta resultatet sitter nästa rond, så det är mycket enkelt för TL att undersöka.

Min bild av Tromsö är dock inte lika svart som komentatörernas. Jag var där med Tommy som ”norska” TL och visst sprang vi flera gånger för att undersöka resultat när ett par meddelade oss om att det vår felscorat till deras nackdel. Vi var inte ensamma TL som gjorde det utan jag upplevde det mer som en regel än ett undantag.

Min bild av Tromsö var allt annat än svart! Det var en enskild nisse som verkade bli uppriktigt förvånad …

Det mesta jag ser av TL-arbete gör mig väldigt glad

Open and Women’s Pairs Championship - statement from the WBF President
The WBF Executive Council has deliberated in respect of occurrences at the World Bridge Games held in Wroclaw during the Finals of both the Open and Women’s Pairs Championships.

Having read the reports from the Head Tournament Director and the Championship Operations Director, the Council has become apprised of the unusual situation whereby the players and supposed winners recognize themselves that they failed to adequately check the scores obtained within the time scale provided for within the Conditions of Contest. Those players, rather than raise the issues through official channels, chose to air their grievances via social network sites.

Human errors, whether by competitors, referees, judges or otherwise are an integral part of any sport competition. In all sporting contests it is important to have certainty of the result that has been obtained according to the respective rules & regulations that are applied and cannot be modified despite, unfortunately, that they may have influenced the result. Dura lex sed lex - the law is harsh but it is the law.

However, the Executive Council has considered the peculiarity of the circumstances and facts of these particular cases and has expressed its view that the truth cannot and should not be ignored.

Consequent upon the advice received from the High Level Players Commission, the Executive Council has exceptionally resolved to award the titles, the gold medals and the master-points ex aequo to Auken-Welland (Germany) & Bach-Cornell (New Zealand) in the Open and to Levi-Asulin (Israel) & Pilipov-Sver (Croatia) in the Women, without further alteration of the ranking lists.

The Executive Council therefore remits the same to the WBF Secretariat to provide the necessary executions and related communications as appropriate.

Varför ligger egentligen WBF:s huvudkontor i Lausanne som borde vara en av världens dyraste städer.

(Lausanne var tom för dyrt för Ingvar Kamprad som bodde där innan han flyttade tillbaka till Sverige).

Scores like +420 when everybody else is -420 in the same contract should be flagged. And apparently the software does flag them, which is perfect. The key is what happens when the strange result is flagged. Apparently with the current system, nothing happens unless the ”scorer” notices that the result has been flagged – if the scorer fails to do so, the result goes through. It would be better if a flagged result did not go into the system unless the scorer positively hit a button which puts it in. Of course strange results do happen, so there has to be a way for them to be accepted. But it should be a positive acceptance, not a positive rejection. Had this been in place, the disaster would not have occurred since the result at R/S table would not have entered the system.

Och givetvis har han rätt. Denna enkla ändring hade löst problemet i öppna klassen, och troligen problemet i damklassen.
