BBO Archive and Data Retention

BBO retains the scoring and hand play for competitive and casual sessions.  You may also cross reference the hand you played versus other people playing the same hand in the competitive and 50 recently played hands area for competitive sessions or the 50 recently played hands area for casual sessions.  You can view a 7 minute 19 second video on YouTube by clicking on or copying this link to your browser:
