EBU ACOL daylongs
Last week I played a few EBU daylongs and also played the Team event at Reading. In the results, I see the SOpp of the Reading event mentioned as 59.73 whereas a typical NGS strength of the ACOL daylong event is between 49 and 51. The two metrics seem to be different, however, the SOpp of the ACOL daylong is not mentioned in the results. The BBO robots are periodically tested and are likely to have SOpp around 60. It would be good if a good performance is included in the NGS consideration.
Inclusion in NGS would go a long way towards improving the risk-reward ratio of these events.

We did poll all daylong players a few years ago and they overwhelmingly preferred that these games not be processed for NGS.
If you are happy with that reply, I have nothing further to add. Thank You.
