This is my conversation with admin and I cannot add more - this was very weird when I was disconnected and had no chance to restart. I hope this is the best place to show my case. jazzek

S bidding is covered by the slider? in the auction window in history

Playing today's tournament I was in 6D and after the lead it was 6D+1 I called for 13 tricks and was frozen because oppos did not want to agree. And did not want to play. Calling judge plenty of times. Messages that judge is coming and nothing goes. Yes there is the judge. Judge is telling something and I am out of the tournament. And I cannot get to BBO. Is this normal in BBO? jazzek

Some days ago I played a tournament and in the beginning of the Xth round the judge was called by oppo. And oppo said "I was called an idiot". And judge asked "who was calling that?" And after a second of reflection oppo said the nick of my pd. In a moment my pd was banned. I have got new partner. I tried to discuss the situation with the judge. That nobody said anything, and maybe it was the situation from the previous table because we just were starting table and noone had any reason to call anyone any names. The judge told me that the pd of oppo affirmed the situation. And I did not see that. Maybe it was private communication. And the judge did not ask me or my pd about the situation. In the end I was assured that we are not blacklisted! Me - who was not accused of anything and my pd who was banned but not blacklisted. I think that the accuser should be blacklisted for such accusation with no merit. And the judge who trusted him. It is like Kafka's "The Trial" where the hero is prosecuted but he does not know why. Here it is more visible who and why but with only one sentence calling the judge you can lose all your reputation only if someone else (the pd of the accuser) affirms the call. Later I wrote letters to both oppos why they made it and got no answer. Jazzek

And I played another one Automated Fun My partner played the contract 6NT and could claim but played and the time was over and Automated Judge claimed OK and why Automated Judge did not work when I played 1NT? And another board and with no reason I was fired. "You will not play" or something so... Greetings, jazzek

I have played today Automated Fun and I had 7 tricks playing 1NT I claimed 7 tricks and was declined :) so I was playing to show my 7 tricks and then time was over and the result was Automated 50%/50% I was hoping that the judge will adjust the result but there was no judge - and my opponent declining was winning What can you do to avoid such abnormaliies? with regard jazzek

Just now I am watching History and my last board and I can not believe (once more) that it was so easy to spoil it. Results above the table are twice bigger than expected and the table below is twice smaller than expected. Just make it as it was. Is it so difficult? Greetings, jazzek

Maybe I do not know why the upgrade was made - what was so convincing. And if there were some days that old and new versions were available why it is not possible to stay with it (two versions). Still I think some things are upgraded which I do not like. And some are downgraded. Here I could find: Benefits of upgrading: NEW! Vugraph voice! Hear your commentators. You get more cute emoticons to use when chatting with your friends. You get to share a picture in your profile. You get to play in more free tournaments. Bidding and Teaching tables have enhanced dealing software. We give you a way to manage your offline mailbox. You can sort your friends into different "categories". If you have a big monitor, you can make the cards appear really big. There is a powerful hand editing tool, free to use. You can easily create advanced bridge movies with this it. Using the new version, "Help me find a game" offers more flexibility and a better algorigthm for matching players. You can only play Bridge Bingo if you are using the newest BBO version. For TDs - directing interface is improved. Team matches are presented in a format like normal club tables. No need to have all 8 players present to create your match. Table and tournament hosts are able to block players who bail a lot! BBO news is always visible. No need to click here and there to read the news. If you have a smartphone or tablet PC, you need to use the new BBO! So much more. New features are added to the new BBO version very often! I think that the use of smartphone or tablet PC is crucial here, but why it is not better for PC users? And yes, I have found one positive: It still works on my old Windows XP notebook! (really strange) Greetings, jazzek

after playing some boards I can not believe how good can be made to horrible - negatives tables on the right invisible bidding not visible friends - big but for what reason? friends - green and red - but for what reason? - positives none - neutral none jazzek

Thank you very much! Hoping for the right decision!

And still no answer. Maybe a link to CEO?

And as I know why I want to see these followers I can not understand why BBO does not want to let me know. A reason? Greetings, jazzek

I am not sure what George Clonney needs but I am sure what I need!

Thank you for the answer! Do it yourself? I am proud of my discovery. But in fact all I want is just some lines in code that make the job. And I am really surprised how my old friend barmar is surprised that I would like to know who is following me? I could and I can compare bridge partners to love partners. How could you do not want to know who is loving you? Greetings, jazzek

So I have got that BBO is not interested in adding panel "Following you" and there is an answer: You can add any player as "Followed" and you can see if he/she follows you - in this case you will become "Friends". jazzek

Thank you for the answer. Now I know it is Following not Watched. But my main answer was not answered. Why I can not know who is following me? And why a person I am following does not know this? I was afraid that I have missed something. But, I knew Yellows, I knew Kibitzers. And still I do not know my Followers. Hope that helps.

Hi! I have just discovered that we have Friends panel of people who agreed to be Friends, and we have panel of people who we think are worth of watching them but they did not make shakehand and did not make us friends or they even do not know that we are watching them. In fact I even do not know how to tell it in English because I know only Polish version of its name (it is translated into Polish in my window). I suppose it is Watched panel. And what about the third panel - the people who are watching us? If I watch a man (or a woman) why he/she does not have right to see who is watching? And I would also like to know who is watching me. Greetings, jazzek from Poland.

I can see averages, I can not see points. And if averages are not used where points are used? Anyway, what one can see is not a matter. The matter is that if one plays he(she) wants to see the result. And in my opinion just make individual deals in broken matches visible in history (now it is not) making it equal to semi-broken tournaments (where someone did not play all deals). Really full-broken tournaments are result empty. Greetings jazzek on bbo

I have no points I get no points playing but I have percentage average from MP events (MP tournaments and MP tables) and I have IMPs average from IMP events (IMP tournaments and IMP tables and IMP matches) And I think that if match is broken the results from played boards should be counted as well to average IMPs Greetings, jazzek

I did not get any answer :) . Why? In short When I withdraw from the tournament most often because my result is bad I get this bad result in my result history. Many times it is also remembered by the organizers who will not let me play in future. So I just found a strange thing that you can break a match and nothing happens. Let the result go to the result history (like in tournaments). And let the info about breaking matches go. jazzek on bbo

It was just my first experience today when was trying to establish the match. Hard thing is to find 8 players that want to play each other. Easier thing is to find 4 players and wait for opps. It is my case. And then - 2 deals opps are losing and they withdraw. The result - nothing happened. I would like to have my points counted. Even more I would love that my partners I found them to play have some points. But no - nothing happened. And this is strange. jazzek on bbo

Annoying? No! Interesting who is kibitzing? Yes! And I think it was really no harmful that some list was showing even for those who opened it unintentionally. Cheers? Am I using it in proper manner (Cheers) Sorry I am only a Polish :) so English is not my first language BTW, I heard that Polish are known in USA as stupid, If bridge has something to do with it and Polish love bridge it means that ... Only Polish joke :)

Yes, it works but hey, I am not as stupid as I thought cause it is hidden perfectly :) Thank you!

In the old good days the list of kibitzers was displayed when the mouse was directed in the place which I cannot describe even now. It was intuitive. Now, in web service I can not find it. Am I the only one?

I was asking why GIB is playing so terribly, and in other topic i got the answer that there are two kinds of GIB - one playing good bridge, and the other playing bad bridge.
