There is a problem with players not paying sufficient attention and not realising it is their turn to bid and result in wasting time BBO indicates whose turn it is to play by highlighting their name Bar in Yellow. Stronger measures are needed to keep players on the ball BBO could automatically time each player through out the day to detect time wasting and report so directors will be able to talk to offenders and maybe penalise If timing of players was performed then BBO could automatically prompt an offending player in the chat field. there would be more than one clock per table. (Chess clocks players) Forexample Cooper1000 100 seconds spent on this bid please hurry or penalties may apply Cooper1000 100 seconds spent on this trick, please hurry or penalties may apply Another possibility is flashing their name bar, and if it is dummy that we are waiting on, fields for both dummy and declarer should flash BBO may be able to tell if a player is having technical problems and automatically call the director Any wasted time saved would be valuable Thankyou for BBO for doing a great job Max Clarke BBO name is maxclarke
