There is another scenario: Declarer makes a claim which is declined and as a result second guesses him/herself and proceeds to make the WRONG inference from the refusal of the claim and goes down. I made a post a long time ago demonstrating such a hand I played but my post history doesn't go back that far unfortunately.

You can explain TCR going down if exactly 60 days ago you completed say 10 tourneys in one day and since then you've been playing casually, quitting one or two matches here and there for whatever reason. Now all of a sudden 60 days later those 10 tourneys go out of the 'window' so to speak in one day and your TCR calculation will go down accordingly even though you never quit anything at all in the last couple of days.

Thank you.

Please could somebody reset my Bridge Master progress on BBO? Notably from Advanced onwards as I recently completed all the intermediate but the Advanced are still marked as done from years previous. I would like to do those problems again. I tried clearing cookies but that doesn't seem to work. Thank you.

Funny I was just booted mid-hand while in dummy watching my Robot partner. First time it's happened in years. Can happen if you stay in another browser tab for too long as well (Firefox). It's like the actions are buffered on the server side but the client isn't alive to process them so you get disconnected. Stars play for free don't they? Maybe they're trying to attract more signups for extra commission. This still happens in the free express tourneys all the time, worst in the ones that don't have a TCR requirement. I suggested implementing a reserve list a long time ago for people that actually want to play.

T is useful for encoding playing cards into text but for display is it "10"? Had to check to be sure. I think in BBO you can write T!d for the diamond 10.

Mozilla Firefox works for me.

I play a lot of Express tourneys, a few a day and managed 100% TCR once. It only takes one thing to ruin a run within a 60 period, be it a powercut, lag, a delivery, an important phone call or even me totally forgetting to play when in another browser tab or making food. I wrote a desktop alarm app that will go off when a tourney starts to help with that.

Apparently typing "zzz" to the table, something that had been normal to me in all my years of online bridge, when someone is taking an inordinate amount of time is worth a lifetime blacklist right out of the blue.

Hopefully that should help stop TDs booting the wrong player, often the slow player plays just as the TD arrives at the table and the following player gets booted if they take more than 3 seconds.

It's weird because when BBO began and was growing I had my skill level in my own words as "Hobby level". After some years I changed it to one of the preset levels and regret doing so because I could never change it back.

Did it once when I was trying to play fast and it hurt. Never again.

I play express tournies a lot and I'm finding I'm getting booted more often when I temporarily switch to another browser tab. Other times I'll switch back to my game after a few seconds and see the dealing animations catching up while I've got 6 seconds left to make my play, booted again. There is also not always a sound warning from the BBO tab when it's my turn. I use the latest Firefox browser with the content process limit set to 8 (default).

The experience burns, I only ever did it once. Windows has this thing where the clicks register on release so you can at least double check before letting go of the button.
