Well done indeed Alain! You did considerably better than most of us. Having said that, however, I would like to stress that the main purpose of participating, whether you are a panelist or not, is not necessarily to get the highest scores (I am sure Luis will agree ;)) but to exchange views and learn if you are so inclined.

That's the whole idea of the BPO poll I hope. At least it is for me.

Congratulations JokerGib!

I agree with Roland that participating is more important than a high score. In the Bridge World the bidding panel discussion is usually the first thing I read in detail also, I find it very helpful.

I would urge strongly against a recount BTW, I think the scores are fine as they are ;)

Thank you All !

And I totally agree with Roland, Gerben and others that the score is futile and that it is far more important to participate and exchange our different views !

This poll is really instructive, pleasant and friendly :)

Were the highest scores also the winning actions at the table?

On a few of the hands, your pard made a ridiculous call at one point, so the table result doesn't matter.

Pig, I am just curious, have I been replaced in making such decisions? Have you somehow magically become moderator? I only ask as this is the first I have heard of this. Seems a shame as I have some nice hands sent in already. Also, as moderator, I try to include a question that addresses "system" each time to help define BBO Advanced.

As moderator, really, I think it should my decision, what question are used. I can be replace as moderator, I just don't know if you have the power to do so.
