Hi

I recently noticed this in the Zenith and not sure about other daylongs
The number of tables per hand has dropped substantially so percentages are 20%, 50%, 90% etc
Sadly or happily a substantial increase in 100% and 0% :(
I know means are means overall but I do like more distribution per hand - nobody else feel the same
Arguably also such small number of tables could benefit or penalise certain types of play. Who knows

We use a very high number of deals in the games with BB$ prizes for security reasons. However the participation in Zenith decreased quite a bit, which means we'll have to adjust the deals, to give more meaningful comparisons.

Thanks for bringing this up, we'll check and adjust.

Thx, I just noticed it recently. You notice in the traveller
I know big tourneys are complicated to organise but a good distribution of bids and scores is more fun to look at I think :)
And without analysing the statistical aspect of it, a sample of 5 or 6 is small even for a single tablle
It made me try to think back to sampling 101 for various tests
I even went to the effort of checking how the number of tables can influence bidding styles too - hence the 0s and 100s
And statsticians will be relieved there has been no obvious change in my overall scores on average - but it is not quite the same experience
