We always welcome subs and try to show our appreciation. Few tourneys would finish with out them. Tonight the "sit out" robots would not bid if they had to make the first bid on a board. Give me real players any time.

I appreciate the hard work BBO staff is doing trying to accommodate so many players and make life better for all of us in these terrible times, but please don't forget your core players that have been loyally playing in BBO for years. Many now, when they need their friends and their bridge tourneys the most, can not get into their favorite tourneys because of the limited number of entries for ALL of the tourneys. Sadly many just leave BBO and go else where. It doesn't matter if the host has been directing for 10 years or 10 days, you still are limited to 20 tables. Please allow the older tourneys more entries on the off-peak times so our friends can come and have fun. I co-host a goulash tourney, alternating days, with Dave (gameman500). But with the low limit on entries we are posting an A and B tourney at the same time every night to try and accommodate more of our regular players. It seems to me, running 2 would take up more computer space than 1 with higher entries. I also ran a B version of AnnC8's tonight. I saw a Kiwi group post a 1, 2 & 3 tourney all at the same time. Please remember your loyal players over the years and allow us who have been hosting for years, larger entry numbers during the off peak time. These old established tourneys are a part of many players daily life, during the good times and the bad. Thank you for your hard work. Mary (Mary_hawk)

As a player/director I find the playing is good but the directing is very difficult. As Antepa stated, the adjustments are very difficult and the chat manager, oh my!! Also I miss the color coded category for players. The color codes help me find our regular players in the sub list. The format for creating a tourney does not allow as much information to be posted on the tourney listing or in the greeting at the start of a tourney. I help direct goulash tourneys and we use the "saved deal" option. The "folder" section where I store my tourneys is about half of the size of V2. I will lose about 100 tourneys I have put together. I know that V3 is a work in progress and there have been many great improvements on the playing side. Now hopefully the director side will get a little help to make it more user friendly. Thanks
