I really appreciate that Compatibility is shown for people signed up for tournaments. I would really like to see it also when I log in and see the list of "Who's Online." When selecting a friend to ask to play, I would expect the Compatibility rating to be important in making my decision of who to ask first. OR, am I reading way to much into what the Compatibility rating is telling me?

People who want to play in tournaments, including me, go to the tournament list. Broadcasting to the world with a private message sound is very annoying and is SPAM. Some of the tournaments are very prolific with constant announcements. There should at least be a way to opt out if you don't want to receive these.

It is extremely frustrating when members leave in the middle of the play of a hand. Not only is it very unfair for the person who takes over the chair, especially a few tricks into a hand, but for those who do not leave. I recently was dummy on a very interesting slam bid hand that had a high probability of making when the declarer felt overwhelmed and left around trick 5. It took several minutes for a replacement to sit in who was willing to stay and play it out. Also one of the defender chairs changed 4 or 5 times by the ecnd of the hand. This severely hampers the enjoyment! It is not just the occasional board, but a frequent occurrence. Almost everytime somebody makes a bad bid, they just leave instead of completing the hand. I would like to see a system put in place where a member who leaves during the play of the hand more than a couple of times a month receives a warning from the system that if they do it again their membership will be suspended for a month. Also for repeat offenders their membership should be terminated. It is rude and, like I said before, it detracts from enjoyment of the game for the rest of us.

It is helpful to know this information, especially when they have no narrative in their profile.
