How is the unclocked tournament operated? It seems that in unclocked tournaments we shall face same opps very often. Can we start the next round after e.g. 70% of tables are finished. Should not keep the 70% people waiting. The suggestion seems just that we shift the rematch of same players from the current quick players to the slow players. ;) ;)

Currently we can chat to lobby, chat to specific person. Would it be possible to add an option for chat to all online friends? ;)

There is a wonderful team match (with ladder) organised by BBO Poland http://www.bridgebase.pl/league/index.php The team captain arrange the match time among themselves. :P

When showing the tourney list, the tourney in play or complete comes first. Could it be changed the tourney coming are shown at the top? :P

I would like to be notify when a friend logs in. However dislike it to be shown as bubble. Could the bubble be disabled? :lol:

Seems that the norm is now clocked 8 board tourney. Played in okb the other day, the mini tourney there is approx unclocked 12 boards. The pace seems better and the overall finish time does not take 7*12 mins.

Thanks BBO Poland for organizing the great event. Looking forward to the new season. When will it start? :)

In the tables list and chat bar there is a scroll bar. Any plan to make the scroll button on the mouse operational in the 2 areas? So that we do not have to press on the scroll bar in BBO. Would be interested to know if it would be easy? As I wonder the scroll bar are some sort of packages available in the development tools used in BBO. There should be no code change in BBO itself. The development tools provided GUI packages should have the scroll bar enabled? :)

Anyone get a link for the convention cards submitted for the coming event in Istanbul? :)

Anyone get a link to the captioned?

Any chance to see a Chinese version (Big 5)

Ah how I like aggressive posts .... specially when they are wrong. [hv=n=sakjxhakxxdaqxxxc&w=sxxxhxxdxcakqxxxx&e=sxxxxhjxdkjxxcjxx&s=sqxhqxxxxdxxxcxxx]399|300|[/hv] Your line: Diamond finesse, diamond ruff, one down at trick 3. My line: West ruffs the 4th spade, and returns a club, ruff in dummy, cash the hA, Diamond Ace and diamond ruff. club ruff with the K. Diamond and you can ruff low and draw the remaining trump or overruff the last trump that east has. I'm not saying that I'm sure my line is better it's only what I think. What I am sure is that is not worth discussing with you. Talk is VERY cheap. How to make the nice hand diagram?

Sorry for typo. E has 4 spades. 3325 for W and 4135 for E One other reason during the play I didnt fin D after winning SQ at hand is that D may be 41. E win DK and give a ruff

Thanks for all the reply. It is a hand played in a team match. EW hands are W hand Sxxx HJxx DKx CAKxxxx E hand S xxxxx Hx Dxxx CQxxxxx Play went as below. I want to avoid D fin and plan to make 2 C ruff in dummy. getting I hope 7H (2 C ruff), 4S, 1D, I could achieve that for 22 H break, or E has 3H (which I think is morely likely if H not 22) as W overcall 2C, and for same reason E would have more than 3S 1. CK* Hx Cx Cx 2. Sx Sx* Sx SQ 3. Cx Hx Cx Cx* 4. Hx HA* Hx Hx 5. Hx HK* Cx Hx I went into trouble now W still has HJ and I have no entry back to hand 6. Sx SA* Sx Sx 7. Sx SK* Sx Cx 8. Cx SJ* Sx Dx 9. I try small D from table. E has a short pause and follow a middle D. I follow D. W paused also and follow a D (smaller than E). E on lead on trick 10 10. E paused again and finally put a C on table at trick 10. I ruffed, draw last trump and claim. I said I would go down if E return D. W blamed E. Then we reveal W could overtake 9th trick with DK and return D and wait for his trump promotion then. Then we reveal I should play DA at 9th trick and small D. E has no defence holding DKx Anyway 6H make at my table. 4H bid/make at other table. Didnt care 11/12 trick were taken. My pd thought finesse D after SQ to hand is best, because W 2C overcall should make him obvious with DK. I make inference on distribution from W 2C overcall. My pd make inference for points from W 2C overcall..... Sounds my pd is correct on this hand. I was not too wrong when W has 6 clubs ...... though he has only 5. What is best line?

Before one votes he/she should not see the voting results so far?

Would be nice to be able to have betting on the outcome of the Cavendish using BB$, but not sure it would be trivial for us to set it up and besides, it is probably illegal. How about a virtual auction with these rules: 1) Everyone has $100K of virtual money to play with 2) Minimum bid on a pair is $10K 3) Bids must be made in units of $1K 4) For the sake of simplicity, I suggest you use last year's figures to determine the (virtual) prizes. 1st $231,350 2nd $148,724 3rd $99,150 4th $74,362 5th $66,100 6th $57,838 7th $49,576 8th $41,312 9th $33,050 10th $24,788 Forums is not exactly well-suited for conducting an auction, but unless someone feels like putting together a web site for this, I suppose we can make do. I will open the bidding with: $10K on Lew Stansby and Joanna Stansby $15K on Bjorn Fallenius and Roy Welland $20K on Bobby Levin and Steve Weinstein Fred Gitelman Bridge Base Inc. www.bridgebase.com Does it mean that the pair who bought Fred-Brad win $231350 last year? Who is that smart pair to bet on Fred-Brad? How much did he spend in the auction for Fred-Brad? Any news whether the auction would be broadcasted?

I got the same problem. When I click Lobby/Table/Tourneys, the chat window just show 2 scroll bars with the contents still as the chat windows. I am not sure but to the best of memory I do not have this problem when I first install 3.7.0. Since once I crashed in BBO (need to close program manually), I got the problem. I tried to reinstall the software but the problem remains. My firewall used to warn me whenever I update my BBO, but it doesnt for the reinstalled 3.7.0. But suddenly it recovers!. The buttons work nicely. I dont know why.

Where is the sort by empty seat button in 3.6.5? Is it dropped in 3.6.5. If so it is REALLY BAD!!! :P

The scroll on my mouse did not work in BBO (chat window, table window, etc) but in other software. Any trick to make it work or it is not supported in BBO. If it is not supported, grateful if it could be supported in next version. ;D ;D

Looking forward to this enhancement not to play with same pair twice. I have played in some tournaments playing with more than 1 pair twice... Is it possible to setup a poll for the most desired enhancements?

I was host of a table where players require permission to play. When we play the last hand a player has left first before the hand finish. The join table keeps on poping up for player would like to take up the vacant seat. I dont even have time to change table settings. And the player permission table must be answered before other things. Other than accepting one player (but table is closing) could an option be made to auto reject all without windows popping up?

Hi, In lobby we have diff colour players and star players. Could this be extended to the chat area players' name? ;D

Not sure if it has been raised before. Could current time be shown in BBO and upcoming events (tourneys, vugraphs) be stated using the same time scale. ;D

:) I am playing in the polish BBO tourney. When match completed score is showing as Team 1 +3 Team 2 -3 where the acutal score could be 30:27 Could it be made that acutal score is shown?
