Use of idle time between rounds in the tournament

[A2003]

There is a lot of time between the rounds in the tournaments. sometimes 6-10 min.

It would be nice to access vugraph or bridge library, or explore bridge to use the idle time effectively instead of waiting for the next round.

Suggest to inlcude the link of explore bridge in the bottom right below chat link or table link rectangular button.

This link can be active only when the round is finished and before the next round starts.

Thanks.

I suggest making the time allotted shorter, maybe6 minutes per hand instead of 8. This is internet bridge, after all.

Note there is at least one table still playing, else you would move already.

 

6 min is too short, I'm with 7 or 8 tending towards 8. Some people are slower than others.

Noted :P

Sure there are slow players. But if they need 8 minutes in online, they probably need 10-11 in ftf.

 

With a little encouragement, I'm sure they could finish in 6 minutes.

6minute boards, 3 boards per round typically have 1-3 tables not finished.

7minute boards, 2 boards per round work well.

 

Of course decreasing the min per board greatly increases the work for the TD.
