It would behoove BBO to implement changes to its substitutes function to separate teams tournaments from pairs tournaments. I often volunteer to play as a substitute in tournaments, both for the adventure and to help out other tournament directors However the challenge of playing with one random partner in a supervised tournament is far different from the often ridiculousness of playing with three randoms in a teams game set up by one of those randoms. Then when an invite to a teams game (calling them tournaments is a misnomer) is refused, it immediately pops up again, and when refused a second time, results in being removed from the list of substitutes. If one persists and again volunteers to substitute, often the same team invite pops up again and the process is repeated once or twice again. (Evidently no one wants to play with these guys.) Given the number of profiles that explicitly reject random team requests, it would seem that BBO is amiss in catering to these games.
