Good question on the email from briobrio
briobrio:
quick question I see that both transgressional and goldteam dragons have gained a 1/2 point in their bhlz from when i sent you the file, yet the only late response was between a different goldteam and UKGE which neither transgressional or dragons have played... so why would they both gain a half point????
Hi brio
Both the Goldteam Dragons and Transgressional teams previously played a team that did not submit a lineup for this week. Teams that are not included in a round have a draw against themselves counted in their buchholz (Bhlz) and buchholz contribution (BhCt) scores - meaning 0.5 was added to their contributions to other teams' Bhlz scores right after the draw was made.
So the Goldteam and Transgressional teams have already had only 0.5 points added to their Bhlz score from this previous opponent, but only 3 previous opponents left to give them Bhlz score points compared to everyone else's 4....plus the points from their opponents this round.

PS I went through the town of Buchholz in Germany on the train on Sunday...
