BBO’s Free Weekly Robot Tournament starts on Fridays and ends on Thursdays. You can play the hands at any time during the week.
I have been publishing my videos on Friday mornings, after the event is over. Some of you have requested that I publish my video earlier in the week, so that you can play the hands and then watch the video immediately. I’m certainly amenable to that; I want to get a sense of the community’s preference.
Part of the reasoning for publishing the video after the event was over was that I didn’t want anyone to watch the video before playing and cheat. But since there are no masterpoints involved, cheating probably isn’t something to worry about. I definitely see advantages to being able to watch the video immediately after you play.
So, what would you prefer: continue publishing the video after the event is over, or publish it during the week while the game is still going? If during the week, would you want it as early as possible (hopefully Friday or Saturday depending on my schedule) or after a few days—Monday or Tuesday?
Thanks for your input! I’m glad so many of you are enjoying these videos.


Thank you for the poll. With so many emails, it's difficult making time for the podcast. I also make time for Maryland Public TV and my National Public Radio (WYPR) affiliate. Will leave the other references blank now.
There's a few streamers doing these now - publishing at various times in the week - its fun to compare scores:
