Wait until the announcement of advance bot to start. If you already start by accident, those still count.

The challenge format will be MP, non-best hand for this event.

For players from seed 21~36, you have to play a reverse KO (4 advance 3) to get into R32. Play ONE set of 16 boards MP non-best hand challenge versus the assigned opponent.
Then, losing player of 1A and 1B will play 1C, losing player of 2A and 2B will play 2C, etc. (Also ONE 16 boards match)
Tie breaker in reverse KO: 4 boards, same format, repeat if still tie.

As soon as you know your opponent in R32, you can start playing. In R32 (and the rest of the tournament) you play 4 sets of 16 boards MP non-best hand challenge versus your opponent.
Tie breaker in regular KO: 8 boards, same format. If still tie, play another 4 boards play off and repeat until breaking the tie.

Report the scores with link to the hand record/result.

Finish reverse KO and R32 ASAP

Seeding of future events (if I still organize it)
Because it's a lot of work to keep the "challenge points" data. I decide to abandon the point system. Players are assigned rank 1(highest) to rank9(2nd lowest, above unranked) base on the seeding points they have prior to event 12. Then the rank will be adjusted base on the performance/participation of each event. In the future, players of the same rank will usually be seeded randomly.

Notice the rank is NOT a prediction bridge skill in any format, it's simply an estimate of recent BBF challenge result and is only used for the 1st round seeding of each event.

Leave your contact information (either here or pm me) if you are interested in organizing this event in the future.

Should we wait for advance robots to be added to our accounts?

Oh YES oops I forget that. Let's wait for barmar to announce that.

Sorry, I was busy with some last minute stuff for the NABC Online Individual, I didn't login yesterday.

I've configured the advanced bots, go ahead and play.

[barmar]

I've marked the other players in my Reverse KO group as friends. If you make me a friend before challenging me, you'll be able to play immediately.

scoring was very unkind to twisterrz imp scoring was only 4 apart with me being lucky enough to win several 10-20 point boards

Just to make sure I understand how this works, I am playing 64 boards against one opponent. For me to advance, I basically need to win 32.5 of the 64 boards?
