I have a couple of questions about the free Robot Races, and the answers are probably related.

Why don't all players play the same hands in the same order? Shouldn't tournaments should be about doing better under the same conditions as your opponents?

Why aren't other players' results available after the tournaments like they are after other tournaments? I'm sure that many players like to review hand results after tournaments to see what they could have done better. In the case of GIB events, it also helps to better understand GIB and what he does in different auctions.

Robot Race is run just like Robot Rewards. Since money is on the line in Robot Rewards, there's too much incentive to cheat. Playing different hands makes this impossible. If you want to play the same hands as everyone else, play Robot Duplicate.

Robot Race and Robot Rewards are like rubber bridge, not duplicate. The score is total points, and luck of the hands is a significant factor. But over time, luck of the hands should even out, so the best players should do well in the long run.
