1) Swiss Pairs without re-matches, ie Swiss not Danish 2) Swiss and/or Multiple Teams

In a recent Pairs event there was some 'interesting' bidding and a TD call on the last hand. Consequently, although I routinely increase the time on the last round, the hand at this table timed out. There were six cards to play but declarer could only ever take three. So as expected a message flashed up to say adjusted score Av/Av, followed almost immediately by a correct 'actual' result. It happened to be -1100 but I think that is irrelevant. The hand records for the players all show 1100. However, the result pop-up, showed Av/Av. It appears the scoring 'bit' of BBO grabbed the result in the few milliseconds before the result for that hand was corrected. This appears to be a bug, surely the results grab should happen after the bots have played timed out boards.

I recently tried to run a 9 round Howell with 6 tables. Unfortunately there was a syntax error at set-up. (I missed the trailing + on rounds9) Didn't realise until half way through. Then although I edited the description and modified tourney, there was no change. Is there some way I could have curtailed the event? I considered 'Cancel Tournament' as Rd 10 started. But would that lose all the results to date?

This week I have 'lost' some hand records. They were there Monday night, (immediately after play) Not there on Tuesday, back on Wednesday. And not there today! Is there a problem here? (well obviously yes!)

Is it possible to run a Team Match with a swap of opponents at half time? Obviously it could be two separate matches, but then there are two results files.
