This topic has bothered me for several YEARS. I have played in BBO for more than 12 years in good standing. I am both pjmoose and a TD in Total Pts. Years ago, more than 5, I played a lot of tourney with a friend/pard and we did not do well usually less that 50%. Then I began to be told I could not play due to "historically low % rates". I have never left a tourney on purpose. I understand the low % rate thing but it seems that after many years it would go away. I'm sure I am not the only person who had bad %s. That would mean that only new people can play until they are not allowed and only experts are left. This makes no sense at all. I have just given up even trying to get into your tourneys and play Total Pts and wprefugees. I do not have time to bother worrying about it but it is embarrassing when someone asks me to play a tourney and then finds that I am "blocked". So until they start putting a time limit on being blocked I do not have time to sub and mess around trying to get back in their good graces. I am not one of those folks who play online 8-10 hours a day...I have a life too. But it would be nice to not be punished for bad scores years ago. So be it. pjmoose…. tdmoosie p. Lindley
