As a TD myself, I know how important it is to set rules that you plan to enforce. Enforcement should apply to all players regardless of status (e.g. yellow, star, expert, beginner, personal friend, etc.) When a player asks his/her opponents to comply with the rules and they refuse to do so, then the TD has no other alternative than to come to the table ande give offending player (s) an opportunity to comply. If they still refuse, then THEY should be removed, not the player that requested compliance. The notion that a TD of a "private club" can bend his/her own rules doesn't make sense. Rules are rules to be followed by all members of the tourney. Obviously, not all players follow the rules. Usually this doesn't matter unless their opponents request them to. Then all bets are off and compliance should be mandatory.

The last 2 times that I have registered for an ACBL tourney, the software has not asked me for my member number. This means I do not get credit for score. Pls advise the problem. Thanks, Tammyd47

Daffodil, Thanks for you nice comments about Mystic Magic. We are always trying to improve the tourney so that all enjoy thorougly. We would like the open chat to be designed in such a way that those still playing wouldn't see it....as not to distract them. This way, anyone is free to discuss hands played or anything of intrest or fun. Again, thanks for posting a response and good luck!
