Whenever I play a tournament, in the old version, I used to see my table no. In the web version, I do not see my table no. and don't know where I am playing.
Is there a problem with my suggestion? BBO tournies can be anywhere between 6 to 24 boards. If I am prepared to play upto 10 boards, (close to one hour), is there anything wrong?
When somebody registers as a substitute and gets an invitation to play in an event, he should be informed how many boards are left. I found myself playing in a 16 bd match right from the first board, when I did not have so much time. Had I known that I have to play 16 boards, I could have rejected. After accepting, If I quit, my TCR suffers
Recently we won the Kakinada Tournament because I declined to overcall an almost Identical hand (A8xxx H, 10 HCP). Opps played in 3NT for 430. At the other table, bidding went 1C-1H-Dbl-all pass for 1100
Many times, hosts increase the limit at the last moment, that too by a very small number. Players are left with no option but to keep inviting, hoping that partner will respond immediately
Mathematically the answers are right but in practice it happens more often (especially where Bridge has become a pastime of old men and cards are dealt manually). Many times I have seen a new deck being dealt without being shuffled and all 4 players being dealt A 10 6 2, K 9 5,Q 8 4,J 7 3 in different suits. Many times the hand gets passed out and some later table realises that the cards are not shuffled and inform the director
