Hello, I like playing daylong tournaments but the weekly restriction means that I can only play a couple of days - then "free tournament limit exceeded". I personally wouldn't pay to be able to play, so I just play somewhere else. But I do notice that on Monday/Tuesday participants are 10 000 + while at the end of the week they are a few times less daily. The interest is much higher compared to restrictions. I really wonder does this restriction increase BBO's income and what is the extent. But I'd also like to know what's other players' opinion.

Hallo, I've just tried to reload BBO because I seemed to be frozen. BUT.. loggin in BBO is still impossible (~10 min) - is there a problem with the server or I'm the only one with such a problem?

I'm experiencing a strange .. "problem" - when I click on a nick FROM THE CHAT AREA - I see 3 stars for compatibility, when I click on THE SAME nick from the partnership desk I see 1 and a half.....

OK-but how can I feel this kind of pre-trust, when one of the two hiest rated players (3 1/2 or 4 stars) is marked in black and I've already added acomment like "<45% average for >1000 boards!!!!!" or "absolute idiot" ... Yes, sometimes I add that type of comments for my enemies... And yes, I thied more than 20 times playing with the predicted compatible player, and it's usually worse then playing with a GIB.

I have a lot of enemies, either becaus the lack of compatability in bidding/play or because of their exclusively unacceptable (for me) play, or their rudeness.. and I VERRY OFTEN see on the partnership desk they are higher rated then my regular partners.. this is... tooooo funny.

I don't care about country, languages or masterpoints... seems the new feature is not useful for me... If You find a way to estimate if my results with a particular player are higher then my average results and if this is true for the other player as well - I would find it useful. Also, if I'm compatible with a player, and He is compatible with a third player - it is very possible that I'm compatible with the third player too - so if I haven't ever played with a player this may give me some orientation. For me my enemies are TOTALLY unacceptable as partners, so .... no need to be scored with more then 0 stars..

On the contrary! If You use the option "click here to play or watch bridge in Your web browser" You cannot read or write chat in any other language eccept English. If You choose the downloadable version You are able to select language. Then You can read and write both in English and the selected language. When You change the language You successflly can read the text, written in the specific language. It's Your choice :P . The operating system is Your choice too, and the downloadable version isn't compatable with any Linux version!!!
