bbstar

A friend of mine gets "Registration failed. You are too new to BBO to enter this tournament". His account is more than 1 year old and more than 40 logins. I looked for the tournament info (About section), there was nothing about eligibility for the tournament. Where could I find the constraints?

Thanks for the reply, I will give my feedback here. 1. (Glorious) Reward tournament is a great idea. Make this BB$ circulating! 2. Make the rules transparent (there is the "About" button for every tournament). 3. The most important detail is the "price pool percentage". Either 60% (BB$10..BB$5), 80% (BB$15..BB$5) or 68% (BB$15..BB$1). 4. The number of prices (40% of participants) is not important (10%..60% is all reasonable). 5. The smallest positive prize might well be BB$0.01. A $5 drop from place 123 to place 124 feels like we are competing for the 123th place, not the 1st place. It would be nice to add some concavity to the reward function (just like the BBO points -- the drop from 1st place to 2nd place should be greater than the drop from 101st to 102nd).

User BBO is organizing lots of tournaments. However, it seems that the trending practice is not to provide full information on the details on the conditions of the contest. BBO, we are aiming at full disclosure when organizing tournaments just like when we are explaining our bidding and carding methods. This applies to Glorious Daylong. Two contests have been held. And the prize pools is 60% and 80% respecively. Is it safe to assume that the next contest has a prize pool of 100%? 1. If I click "About", I want to see the details of the Reward. Please clarify. 2. Also, please turn on commenting again. Or clarify, what is the proper place to ask questions. 3. The host of the tournament ("BBO") might also have a profile, so that we can message him to ask for details.

Currently BBO is trying to refresh itself in method onNavDivHidden. This happens after logout → page is refreshed. This happens if I change my page from Landscape to Portrait (moving to 1 column layout) → popup appears (do you want to reload) → After clicking reload, I am logged out and page is reloaded. I am not sure if this is a bug. Or this is really the intention of programmers.

There was a workaround: 1. Use Developer Tools (F12) 2. Select the "Eye" element from html 3. Delete it. But with a new release page is refreshed after logout, and the element is reloaded again. Hack-hack-hack. Why do we need a reload after logout? It seems we need some adblock rule to disable unwanted buttons on the login screen.

Magic happened. This bug is not reproducing anymore. No idea, what was wrong before.

An error has occurred. Table closing.

I don't click anywhere. I press enter. This makes my password visible AND does the login. For full reproduction see my original post.

1. Go to www.bridgebase.com login screen 2. Enter username 3. Press "Tab" 4. Enter password 5. Press "Enter" Expected: successful login Actual: password is made visible. And then successful login I really hate that my password is visible. This should never happen to me.

Creating a bookmark: 1. Replace "bbstar" with your username "morecharac". 2. Copy the stuff (starting with "javascript", ending with the braces). 3. Create a bookmark in browser. 3a. Title: bbo cookies 3b. Url: Paste whatever you copied.

Solution for the problem Create a bookmark with a following content: javascript:(["bbstar","you_other_username"].forEach(userID=>{localStorage[userID+"_general_animate"]="n";localStorage[userID+"_general_sound"]="n";localStorage[userID+"_keyboard_entry"]="y";})) This will disable animations and sound, and enable keyboard entry. Make sure to use your own username. Add/remove the settings if necessary. Testing: 1. Make sure to reset the settings in bbo. 2. Close browser (or bbo tab). 3. Open BBO tab. 4. Click the bookmark 5. Login to BBO 6. Voila, the settings are updated.

1. I register as substitute for a tourney or team match. 2. I am offered to play with person X with skill level Y. 3. I accept and start playing. And then I realise that person X is on my ignore list. I find this annoying. There are several ways to resolve the situation. Either: do not allow proposals from ignores. Another: show partner's profile at step 2. Alternative: add the relation of friend/normal/ignore at step 2.

I wanted to click +1, but forum responds me "I have reached your quota of positive votes for the day". So I just reply with +1. Using keyboard could be much more fluent. Thanks!
