If u look up (http://online.bridge...time=1230073200) hand records for sorale u will find several records showing 7 made by sorale or rdbld and down 3-5 time: sorale scoring from 2240 to 3400 - MEANTIME if you look up the actual movie of the board you can see results like 3NT made against sorale. It seems that somehow the hand record showing part of the software is compromised which should be a warning sign for BBO. I am an oldtimer here and very gratefull for this site and program and my sole aim is to help BBO specially against any abuse, attack or wrongdoing.

i suspect someone ran a tournament and adjusted the scores. I doubt very much the site has been hacked. It looks like only that one 5 board tourney was affected.

I'd say someone will be loosing their TD privileges.

I'd sure love to know what that 5 board tourney was, because I'd sure never play in it in my life.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Thank you for reporting, no we were not hacked. The TD went in after to adjust scores for some weird reason, doing so risks his TD rights at least, if not more.
