CSS Results for 12/04/2017 (Game 47)

Another day, more obnoxious showcases. A convertible, trip and kitchen really should add up to something in the 35-40k range in a reasonable world. But instead, it was 45 today, as Argentina is almost always fairly expensive (and I guess no kitchen on price is cheap anymore, is it?). Meanwhile 2 looked really cheap - but we've seen this paritcular Hawaii a few times and it's always quite high, balancing that out somewhat.

As the weather gets colder (supposedly... global warming seems to have had a say in that the past couple of years), I am apparently heating up big time, as I managed to have two differences under 500 for the second playing a row. No DSWs this time though, and Thupa takes the bigger cash in an equally impressive second place.

Just out of curiosity, I've seen "HARD DSW" on past CSS results.  I'm sure that means a very near DSW but not actually a DSW, but what is the official definition of a hard DSW? (as in where is the line drawn between a hard DSW and not a hard DSW or DSW at all?)

A "Hard DSW" is when a player manages to win both Showcases without either of their bids being within the DSW range.

There is also the "Hard/Soft DSW", which is the above but with one bid or the other being within the DSW range.

So for example if I was the winner on one showcase with a difference of $2,000 AND on the other showcase with a difference of $1,000, that would be a hard DSW, but if I won one showcase with a $251 difference, it's NOT a hard DSW?

And I'm assuming that a QSW is DSW-ing both showcases, but have there ever been cases of a WSQ (a WSD on both showcases, for example the same player being over by $50 on one showcase and by $25 on the other)?

Precisely.

but if I won one showcase with a $251 difference, it's NOT a hard DSW?

Not if that was the only Showcase you won.

That is correct, sir.

but have there ever been cases of a WSQ (a WSD on both showcases, for example the same player being over by $50 on one showcase and by $25 on the other)?

I believe so, yes.

Hard DSW is an intuitive name once you think about it - you get cash for both SCs, the same as a DSW, but you have to do the best on both SCs to get there, not just really close on one of them.

A QSW with all the cash like mine last Monday is technically also a hard DSW.... or hard double DSW... but whatever.
