So many people ask about why
their position changes when results are merged that I think it is worth trying
to explain again.
Imagine that in your green section,
on one board, you come 5th out of 10 ie. about 50%.
Now imagine that the 10
pairs in the red section all do worse than you. You are now 5th out
of 20 ie. 75% when the results are
merged.
Conversely, all 10 reds may
do better than you and you are now 15th out of 20.
On each board your score may
vary considerably when the sections are merged and so the final positions may
change from those in the single sections.
