Long time no direct: what's new?


Recommended Posts

After a hopelessly busy six months, finally I find myself with some free time to direct tournaments on BBO. I wonder which parts of my pre-recorded pregame announcements are still necessary and which have been taken care of by Uday and his amazing improvements!

 

Following are some items in my announcements file that may no longer be needed:

 

--"...if you would like to be on the sub list, message me and do not kibitz please." Does the substitutes list work well now? Does it maintain an order (if so, no need to message me)? Does it ensure that no player on it is kibitzing the tournament (if so, no need to mention it)?

 

--"Let the table know you have called so I get only one call per table." Has this been taken care of? I remember that some players used to call the Director secretly and chat privately about a problem. I can imagine a case where an invisible Director might make for less UI, but in all of the cases where this happened the player who called was making silly allegations about the opponents. Probably it would be best to force players to call the director publicly. I suppose you can chat-message a Director if neccesary.

 

--"Browse to www.bridgebase.com/myhands to look at the traveller for each board. http://bbo.bridgebase.com:81/perl/history.pl will also let you see hands you've played." Are these sites still active?
