What is a FSB Green Points tournament?
This is an official tournament run in partnership with the Swiss Bridge Federation.
FSB tournaments allow participants to increase their federation rank thanks to the official points (Green Points) awarded at the end of each tournament (provided that the participant is a member of the federation).

Can I take part in FSB Green Points tournaments if I am not a FSB member?
Yes, these tournaments are open to everyone.

What are the "Funbridge Points" awarded at the end of each tournament for?
For each federation tournament played, you earn Funbridge Points on top of those awarded by the federation.
They allow you to join the Funbridge Points rankings which is perfect to see how you compare to the whole community of Funbridge players.

What is the entry fee?
Each federation tournament costs a certain amount of Diamonds ♦️ (Funbridge virtual currency). Packs of Diamonds are available in our online shop and from the federation tournaments homescreen.

Why aren't other players' results displayed?
At the end of the deal, players have only access to their own result on the deal, i.e. contract played, result, score and rank.
Other players' results are displayed only when the tournament is over.

How are the deals of a tournament dealt?
The number of deals generated for a tournament is higher than the number of deals played so that all players won't play the same deals and not in the same order.

Are non-played deals included in the score displayed?
The average displayed takes into account results on deals played. Only played deals are taken into account. Any non-played deal at the end of the tournament will get a score of 0%.

How are Green Points awarded?
The number of Green Points awarded at the end of a tournament is equal to twice the number of players in the tournament.

The number of points awarded to each player is calculated based on the following formula:

A(r)=K x ((N + a) / r - a)^m (Please note that "m" is an exponent and means "to the power m") where:
  • K is a multiplier set so that the sum of the points awarded is equal to the overall number of points.
  • a=2, which allows to award Green Points to half of the participants.
  • r is the rank reached by the player.
  • Up to 50 players: the m exponent is equal to 1/1.9.
  • Beyond 50 players: m=1/1.9 - L/60 with L=Napierian logarithm (N/4).
