Chat with TD

[thn]

TD's in tourney, not at any table but busy...

 

Would be nice to know if he/she is available for chat and I/we not wanting to disturb..

 

Suggestion : A remark in description of current status could be " TD at moment in xx tourney " or something similar, alike we have " xx is playing at ..table "

 

Ahmmm..proly not at the top of list "to do next" , though keep it for a rainy day :-)

 

Thanks in advance whatever you decide to do ;)

I'm not qualified to answer for BBO management, but I would guess that they would strongly prefer that TDs NOT play in their own tournaments. If doing so puts them out of range to messages from the lobby, there is a simple way to fix this problem: stop playing. I have directed dozens of tournaments and have often spent time chatting with players not in the tournament as it ran. Mind you, TDing can be a busy activity and TDs won't always have the time to chat. But it can be done. All you have to do is not play.

Dear McBruce..

 

Ty for your answer...shows that U do care :-))

 

But i think you misunderstood me...all I wanted was a possibility to see if the TD was in the tourney, eventually not playing..Kinda "same message" we see when in lobby, from where we can see if a person is playing at a table...

 

Pls forgive me..I cant translate it into prober understandable English :-)

OK, I think you can do this in the following way:

 

Click on the Lobby button while seated at a tourney table. This will bring up the list of people logged on to BBO. Scroll through them to find the TD and move the mouse over the name. You should get a yellow box telling you that person's current location.
