SUBBING FOR TEAM MATCHES

[microcap]

I host a lot of expert only team matches. When needing a sub, recently the software automatically invites people who are not registered and who are not experts. I hate to boot them --what happened to the old way where you could choose your own subs from the subs who actually register?

when persons log on to the web version, they no longer register as subs for each tourney or team match.

 

they register as subs for any game.

 

if one logs on just to sub, that can be fun we keep getting invitations game after game.

 

lobby chat is not longer available so the team matches have no means of recruiting subs.

 

Not evryone who glitters is an expert, and yes the so called expert team matches do boot us some times.

 

 

Funny thing is, i have never seen jimmy cayne advertise in the lobby for experts, his group knows where to find them!!!!

ty, i still log onto to the non web version but you answered my question... there is no doubt that many if not most BBO "experts" aren't really expert. But tossing a novice or intermediate in is usually unfair as well. As someone who really really tries hard to be polite to everyone other than Rex, I don't like booting people.

Perhaps the answer would be to line up potential subs before the matches start..some people don't mind being on stand-bye. Or you can find someone and ask them then simply do the substitution. I have advertised in the club for subs (but if it isn't a club you can't do that) then simply done the substitution..BBO has never subbed anyone in without my involvement so not sure why it might be happenning to you.
