1 Locating Tournament Results Smile or frown it s exciting to see the results of a tournament in which you have just played! After you finish your last board in a tournament, other tables of players may not have completed all the boards. If allowed by the Tournament Director you may kibitz at those tables while you are waiting for the tournament results to be posted. As soon as the tournament is complete, the results will appear immediately on your screen or you may return at a later time to check the results. There are 4 different ways to find Tournament Results: 1. Results immediately posted when a tournament is complete 2. Look for Completed Tournaments on BBO 3.

If you are interested in reviewing a specific board or boards, it is also a good idea to have noted the number of those boards, such as Boards 3, 4, and Results immediately posted when a tournament is complete Tournaments results will be posted after everyone has completed the tournament. A popup window will appear and you will be able to see the results.

Middle portion shows your results posted, how you did overall and your score. The last section shows the leaderboard. Here everyone is ranked according to their score, with the winning pair ranked as number 1. The second-ranked winner is number 2, etc. Names are the user names of the partners or individuals. Each partnership/individual is ranked according to the tournament scoring. Score is calculated by BBO software and based on the percentage of boards won and lost. For example, the partnership who came in first in this tournament is Ximen_C + Hoshimi with a score of IMPS. Madtrumper + Okmaga came in 4 th with a score of IMPS. Negative numbers are negative scores when compared to the field of players in the tournament. (See Tournament Scoring and How to Score a Duplicate Bridge Hand.)
