[blml] 60% session in IMPs

[Konrad Ciborowski]

Hi,

It's me again.

L12C2c

"The foregoing is modified for a non-offending contestant that
obtains a session score exceeding 60% of the available matchpoints or
for an offending contestant that obtains a session score that is less
than 40% of the available matchpoints (or the equivalent in imps).
Such contestants are awarded the percentage obtained (or the 
equivalent in imps) on the other boards of that session."

What is the equivalent in imps of a 60% session?

In an IMP session of 20 deals (Butler scoring)
the highest possible score is 24 IMPs x 20 = 480 IMPs. 
60% of that is +288 IMPs a score almost unheard of.

    Does this mean that we award +3 as average plus in a 20 deal
IMP session unless the contestant's score is +288 IMPs
in which case we award him another 288 IMPs as average plus 
(his session score) making his score +578 IMPs?

Makes no sense to me.

It looks that the remarks in parenthesis about the
equivalent in IMPs were added "without pause for thought".
Or, as usual, I'm missing something that is obvious to the rest of
the world.
