Missing in V2?

Is there a way to adjust a board "in play"? i.e. before it has been finished?

 

I love the way TDs can adjust the boards after the play, but can't figure out how to make an adjustement before the board has been completed. This feature is sometimes needed to help a slow table catch up, adjust because a player has left the table, or adjust the final hand of a tournament as time is running out.

In the drop down menu associated with the tournament in question in the Running Tournaments tab of the TD Control Panel, there is a command named "Adjustment".

 

If you select this command a window will appear that will allow you to enter an adjusted score for any board (including one that is still being played).

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

It is easy to adjust any board as soon as the opening lead has been made, or any time afterwards - up to 15/20 minutes after the tournament has finished

 

I prefer to adjust immediately if declarer has left the table or if slow players fail to claim when the outcome is obvious. Other adjustments can probably wait until later

 

Premature adjustments may be unfair. I have kibitzed tables where declarer has 9 obvious tricks and is playing very slowly, but instinct has told me not to interfere.

Very often, somebody will make a foolish mistake that cannot be predicted

p.s. It may be helpful to add extra time in the first and last rounds, or create unclocked tournies where less adjustments are needed
