New tourney substitution proposal.

[DrTodd13]

I was just in a tourney where the frustration of the number of subs

needed and the difficulty/time of matching subs to players was too

much for the director. The director (a BBO yellow nonetheless!)

closed the tourney and swore never to host another one. I propose

the following as an alternate substitution scheme to take this burden

off of directors.

 

The partner of the player who is stuck gets to scan the substitute

list. The player can select a name from the list or type in a name.

One a name is suggested, a message is sent to each opponents

asking if it is ok for the stuck player to be replaced. If the new

player selected is not in the substitute list then they are also asked

if they would like to join. Directors would then be free to deal with

cases where two or more players get stuck at the same time which

I would imagine is pretty rare.

 

Plus, everyone would be happier because players would be able to

choose their own partners and find more compatible people.

 

Any thoughts?
