I just played a FREE Express tournament game. For board #5 i see strange results. Bidding 4S and making just that much it shows 790 points whereas bidding 4 and making 4+1 shows 650 points.

What is the explanation for this ?

If you don't tell us the event or give us a link, we can't know which board 5 your are talking about and can't look at it for an explanation. However 790 is the score for 4Sx= and 650 the score for 4S+1 so I imagine you've omitted to tell us about the double.

This is Board 5 and yes, the 790 is for 4S doubled making. The double makes it count more than 4S+1 not doubled

4X means 4 spade played doubled

790 means it is made doubled.

X next to contract means doubled and XX would be redoubled

Tourney completion % has nothing to do with how many % of a particular event you finish, nor the sum of them. It just shows every event that you failed to complete as failure to complete, regardless of you quit in the last board or the first one. If you believe that you did not quit as much as it says you did, perhaps someone else in the family or close friend playing with your account? People may use your account for different purposes. Change your pw if this is what you think might be happening.
