I've qualified for day 4 :) 57% on day 1, 58% on day 2, and 55% on day 3. Not stellar, but quite satisfying given that I'm not super confident with MP scoring.

I cannot play Challenges at the moment; I have started two 'against strangers' but when I 'sit', the table is automatically closed, with an error message displayed stating "System Error: Could not verify token: ERROR: Could not verify token: Token is null" On at least one attempt, the table was not closed, but nor were there any cards dealt, I just sat there with nothing happening. Edited to add: The 'nothing happening' version has just happened again. This time, the home and back buttons do nothing. The only way I can escape is 'log out'. edit 2: was able to play some hands but then got kicked out, error message flashed up stating something to do with SQL and excessive users.

Yes. Pass.

1♦ 1♥ 1♠ 2♣! 2NT 3♠ 5♦! (5♠/whatever shows 2 non-♦A keycards for ♠s) 7♥/7♠

Cheese!

Agree with Ken.

I'd assume new suit = forcing without discussion to the contrary, and if I was going to sign off in a partscore on this auction then 2♠ would be my choice - or maybe 3♣ in a case where I have support like this.

I think 3♦ would also be forcing.

Yes, it said it was a takeout double, but I don't think that is logical.

For what it's worth, nicebbo, I have observed your 'partner' making a significant number of actions that I considered to be poor (at best) in other instances, and as noted by others in this thread, their actions on this hand are not good from either a bridge or manners perspective.

http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?bbo=y&myhand=M-38674545-1434390058 6♥ is explained as 5+♦s 4+♥s 18+HCP 18-TP. How can you have 18+HCP, 5+4+ shape, and yet no more than 18TP?

I'd bid 2♦ (good 3-card raise), no matter what the Double is.

Agree with grzes987. I'm a new BBO player, never quit a tournament...because I've never been able to play in one. Almost all free tournaments seem to have the TCR restriction applied. And I don't really want to play with robots in tourneys, especially if it is just to get an acceptable TCR. It would be better to base the TCR on tournaments started but not finished rather than...whatever it currently based on.
