My scores have recently been counted under England, rather than Wales where I live!
I haven't changed my address and use my same desktop computer and Internet Company.
Annoyingly I got 67% for England yesterday!
Perhaps I should try for zero percent instead and lower their average?!

It's even worse, they CALL it country, they use names of province in our case (the Netherlands) but living in the province of Zuid-Holland, playing for the Dutch Bridge league's North-Holland region, I can see THAT is what is registered for this tournament. It's Bridge federation regions.

The “region” shown in the Free Acol Inter-regional is based on IP location. Since IP detection isn’t always perfect, it can sometimes put players into the “wrong” group.
This tournament is meant as a light-hearted free game rather than an official representation of countries or bridge jurisdictions. We’re experimenting with grouping players into different “clans” (countries, regions, even cities) to see how well it works in practice. That’s why the game is called Inter-Regional rather than country.
We know it’s not 100% precise, but the aim is simply to add a bit of fun and variety to the free Acol games.
