As far as I know, there is no way for an individual player to turn off the video strip (not talking about whether to turn their own video camera on). This is really needed. Several people (including myself) have had issues with very high cpu/gpu/power consumption when the games have video. This seems to be independent of browers used, and even with no other programs running, no other open tabs, and no extensions installed whatsoever. It sometimes causes browser/computer crashes. Just wonder if anyone else is experiencing this, and if there is any solution. And if BBO sees this, I suspect the video interface needs to be tuned up to avoid this?

1. If it allows you (it might eliminate that table), then every round there will be a sitout. Far better to find subs so there is no sitout. 2. You should be able to click on the tournament list like all players can and find your tournament in the list (competitive, VACB etc) and it should show how many are registered. 3. I tried changing board/rd once a tournament started (still in 1st round) and couldn't. Maybe VERY early in the tournament it might allow you. I haven't tried changing number of boards played. If you are near a 'tipping point' number and need time to think/change things, you could add a minute or two just before the game is about to start, then take that time to think and make your choices. 4. I think over a certain number (16?) it creates 2 sections automatically.

If I create some hands in Bridge Composer, save, convert to .lin (via online converter or old windows BBO software), I can import them fine in the old, Flash version, and use them at a teaching table. If I try to do the same in the new BBO (HTML5), it says I successfully imported X number of hands, but they don't display under 'show deal', and when I try to use them in a teaching table, they don't load (I select the folder, and get no error message, but it says something like 'out of hands, reverting to random deals' when I press redeal. Thus for teaching table I have to use old Flash version if I want to use my own set of deals (I do this because we have a second teaching table and wish to play the same hands at both tables). Can this be fixed? (ideally, could BBO just support .pbn files?)
