I wonder now that BBO is huge, could we run main room comparisons across more than 16 boards? No need for 100, but something like 26 plays or 49/50 would be nice, especially given it is imps, and one or two wild actions can screw up the averages for all the normal results.

It is a thought anyway.

Very good suggestion

I hope this is possible

Agree that this is a good idea, but unfortunately it would be a lot harder to implement than you might think. Blame me for inflexible early design.

I will take a closer look at what would be involved when I get a chance.

While I agree with Ben that more comparisons would be a good idea for imps, it may not be such a good idea for matchpoints. Even now with 16 plays/board, it doesn't take long for me to end up with no comparsion in a matchpoint session. I also like to review hands with myhands, which (I think) doesn't post the hands until they've been played 16 times. There are matchpoint boards that I played 24 hours ago that still haven't shown up in myhands.
