On the official website, the Butlers are confusing. The open-B butler features only 2 Italian pairs. In the Seniors B-final, the Butlers seem to be the same as in the A-final. Firefox on my old netbook struggles with bulletin pdfs -- but Is there a bulletin or other source with more complete Butler information?

The link is just wrong for the seniors B-Final - http://www.eurobridg...e/ButlerSFB.htm

No other Italian pair played enough boards to be included on the butler.

Cima-Sementa 64 boards played
Sementa-Versace 32
Cima-Giubilo 64
Giubulo-Sementa 32

If you want to see a list including pairs who played fewer boards, try this link which someone referred to during last weekend's vugraph commentary.

If you want to see a ranking list of how well each pair played then hard luck, it does not exist.

Thank you MickyB and JAllerton. John Matheson and Paul Gibson have devised formulae that iterate to an "adjusted" Butler, taking into account opponents' apparent calibre -- still a crude measure of performance but I find them interesting.

Are those numbers available somewhere?

No. I've not done such adjustments for a few years since I believed it was giving credence to meaningless numbers, especially as it was normally for the Camrose where there are only six teams with quite a difference in standard between them.
