17:59:32	 From Diane Benison : Technical question.  I play from time-to-time at a club that usually runs two sections.  It has electronic scoring.  When the game results are uploaded to Live for Clubs one section always shows the contracts, but the other section does not.  Is this a configuration issue on the ACBLScore side?
17:59:39	 From Jayne Bremer : I uploaded our club's afternoon game today and received and email back with last Wednesday night's results.  Thinking I messed up I went back and uploaded today's game and received a message that this was a duplicate did I want to proceed... I proceeded and again received an email with last Wednesday nights results.... who do I contact to fix this as three club members have already called me...  Thanks for any help!
18:00:36	 From Bradley Bartol - ACBL Club Support : Jayne, Please call me after the meeting. 662-796-7236

18:14:38	 From Ray Yuenger : Reacted to "N/18 formula limits ..." with 👍
18:14:42	 From Dennis Harms : If you go to find a tournament link on ACBL, the "Category" tab could include STAC.  Also, when you search on ACBL.org you do not get the STAC's
18:15:05	 From Robert Maier - ACBL utility infielder : Replying to "If you go to find a ..."

Use this link Dennis.  https://tournaments.acbl.org/stac-display.php

I do the best I can with the tools I have :)
18:16:12	 From Bradley Bartol - ACBL Club Support : But it's not 60, is it?
18:16:37	 From suemanning  to  Robert Maier - ACBL utility infielder(Direct Message) : Is a utility infielder some baseball thing?
18:17:07	 From Robert Maier - ACBL utility infielder  to  suemanning(Direct Message) : It's like the guy who never starts but can fill in for anyone who gets hurt at any position.  More defense than offense.
18:17:15	 From suemanning  to  Robert Maier - ACBL utility infielder(Direct Message) : Also why does TD Don look like a conehead
18:17:23	 From Robert Maier - ACBL utility infielder  to  suemanning(Direct Message) : Best I could come up with on short notice that was SFW.
18:17:25	 From Jan : For F2F? what game?

18:21:30	 From Angie Strainic : Replying to "https://www.acbl.org..."

Thank you
18:21:46	 From suemanning : Google is the best way to search the ACBL website
18:21:52	 From Wes Powers : What is a "tournament assistant"?
18:22:01	 From Debra Freisleben : that's a sad commentary on ACBL's website
18:22:11	 From Robert Maier - ACBL utility infielder : https://www.acbl.org/club-corner/#more
18:22:15	 From Pramod Khanna : Thanks, Debra
18:22:15	 From suemanning : I guess if you do not know then you must not be one lol
18:22:26	 From Arman : SO TRUE! DON'T BOTHER USING SEARCH in ACBL.org
18:22:27	 From Valarie Remmers : but I see no tournament assistant classes
18:22:41	 From Bradley Bartol - ACBL Club Support : Club Corner - Education and Recruiting - Continuing Education
18:22:54	 From suemanning : Well it is perhaps unfortunate but now you know the secret
18:23:36	 From Sherry Terraciano : Replying to "haven't been able to..."

ACBLscore Instructions:
•On “Select Event Rating” screen, choose ACBL/World/District Wide (Instant, Seniors, etc)
•Next, choose ACBL-Wide Junior.
•Enter scores in the usual way.
18:23:42	 From Kathy Russell : Education told me that a Local Director can do everything that a TA can do - including helping out at Regionals (and the Local Director course is free)
18:26:46	 From Bradley Bartol - ACBL Club Support : But they aren't
18:27:38	 From Ray Yuenger : Are you asking as a director not to have access to Common Game boards?
18:28:08	 From Ray Yuenger : Who would have access to the new online Common Game boards?
18:29:29	 From Debra Freisleben : We had someone play in a game in the Eastern time zone, then come play in ours. They notified us they'd already played those boards (Common Game) so we had to start over again and recreate the game.
18:31:17	 From Bradley Bartol - ACBL Club Support : Always a pleasure, Craig. Just doing the job. You are certainly welcome.
18:31:55	 From Arman : I may be mistaken, but ... Hand record stats give average HCPs held by E,W,N,S averaged over all 36 hands, so if you play only 1-18, there is a risk that a particular seat may be see almost all their low hcp hands and very few of the stronger hands.
18:32:31	 From epiii : I Agree Brad has been a big help!
18:32:40	 From Bronia Jenkins : Reacted to "I Agree Brad has bee..." with 👍

18:32:58	 From leedaugharty : Maybe your player need to improve his defence, Joe.  It is match pointed, afterall
18:32:59	 From Bronia Jenkins : Reacted to "I Agree Brad has bee..." with 😃
18:33:04	 From Bronia Jenkins : Removed a 😃 reaction from "I Agree Brad has bee..."
18:35:32	 From Sherrie Goodman : The Common Game makes you aware if a player has played the hands in an earlier game.
18:36:12	 From Bradley Bartol - ACBL Club Support : They would be flagged if they played under the same player number.
18:36:30	 From Wes Powers : Replying to "The Common Game make..."

But only if both games are submitted to the Common Game.
18:36:43	 From Arman : Don't need EDGAR to see the same person in that situation!
18:37:04	 From Wes Powers : Replying to "The Common Game make..."

Joe's scenario won't be caught by the CG.
18:37:34	 From Robert : Here we are, giving people ideas on how they can cheat?
18:37:53	 From Pramod Khanna : I’d they play without an ACBL number , they dont get MPs - what does he/sshe gain?
18:38:13	 From Joe Grill : EDGAR doesn't scan F2F games.
18:38:15	 From suemanning : Not mentioning illegal activities is a poor solution
18:38:48	 From Debra Freisleben : You can get the same screwy hands with a person-dealt hand.
18:39:17	 From amcal : There are clubs don't use the Common Game;  we find in some games, there is a definite slant to the hands.
18:39:27	 From Mette Smith : I always tell the whiners that I'm going to fix that.  From now on everybody gets 10hcp.  They shut up.
18:39:43	 From Matthew Dyer : Reacted to "I always tell the wh..." with 👏
18:39:47	 From TD Don : They can play without an ACBL number in the first online game to get access to the hands and then play with their number in the face to face game to win points
18:39:54	 From Robert : They complained about my computer dealt hands, I changed to common game and they said that they were worse.  THen, I ran a team game and they complained that the distribution was awful. I think people like to complain
18:40:04	 From Joe Grill : LOL.  Give everyone 10 HCP and 4333 shape.
18:40:12	 From Bronia Jenkins : Reacted to "They complained abou..." with 😂

18:40:23	 From Bronia Jenkins : Removed a 👍 reaction from "They complained abou..."
18:40:24	 From Mette Smith : Or ask them to let you know what direction you're going to sit in and I'll fix it so they get all the points.

18:40:30	 From Al Ox : Reacted to "They complained abou..." with 😂
18:40:58	 From Ray Yuenger : Charge them more for better hands.
18:41:21	 From Mette Smith : Yes!! charge extra for hcps
18:41:50	 From Lynn Chapin : vacb@acbl.org
18:42:22	 From Angie Strainic : I'm going to adopt that too! LOL
18:42:48	 From Mette Smith : the problem with that is that it's based on 36 hands
18:43:39	 From Joe Grill : If there's a regional or a sectional within 25 miles, no special games.  Regular Club Masterpoint game only.
18:43:59	 From Ray Yuenger : When a Sectional (excluding STaCs) or higher rated event is being conducted within 25 miles of a club game’s playing site, the club is permitted to hold only its regularly scheduled club masterpoint games (i.e., no special games may be held). This regulation does not apply to Limited/Restricted Sectionals.
18:45:45	 From Joe Grill : The smaller the sample, the greater the chance of an imbalance in HCP.  :)
18:46:06	 From Matthew Dyer : Who let the MIT grad in  :)
18:46:22	 From Arman : Goulash hands!
18:46:33	 From Matthew Dyer : sto pmaking sense!
18:46:39	 From Ray Yuenger : Reacted to "Who let the MIT grad..." with 👍
18:47:28	 From Robert Maier - ACBL utility infielder : don, could you send an email to ACBLscore@acbl.org?  I don't see what you sent.
18:48:21	 From Bradley Bartol - ACBL Club Support : Club number?
18:49:25	 From Gail E Dare : If missed doing the 2 per quarter,  no way to make them up???
18:49:35	 From Lynn Chapin : No Gail, sorry... :(
18:49:50	 From Peter Tarle : Thanks so much - have a good night!
