Field Stratification Helper

Paste a signup list (one pair per line). Names may be misspelled or partial — they're matched against the District 17 Bridge Ratings (data through 07/21/26). Mark seating requests with (N/S) or (E/W) on the line, or click the direction button after parsing. Unofficial; for seeding/balancing, not ACBL stratification compliance (i.e., the helper does not check masterpoints).

Reading it. Pair % is the expected session score for the partnership (from each player's rating; the same arithmetic as the main page's pair predictor). Players not in the ratings are assumed 50.0 and marked unrated — treat their pairs as rough. A thin badge means under 500 recorded deals (wide uncertainty). Yellow/red name chips are uncertain matches — click any chip to correct it. Duplicate signups are detected and struck through (click to restore). Nothing you paste leaves this page.
