Finding pickup p w/ same system

[jr1under]

I play almost 100% "Take me to the first seat available" and that's one of the features I really like about BBO, connecting with bridgers from all over the world. It's amazing to be in the SE USA turning cards with players from Bulgaria, Turkey, Israel, Germany, Australia, and everywhere else.

 

What can be very frustrating though is trying to find a p who plays my system(SAYC); I imagine the 2/1, Acol, Precision, etc. players feel the same way. Obviously, when you're seated at a new table, the first thing you do is check your p's profile...most of the time their system is "Private" and I definitely don't know that one! Sometimes I have only 20-30 minutes to play and spend 10 of those minutes looking for a p I can understand.

 

Would it be possible to put check-boxes in one's profile to indicate the system(s) played, then have a "Find me a game" option that will place you only with p's who play your system?

Such an option would be nice. Sweet if it could be done.

 

Today you can of course ask in the Lobby. The drawback with this is, many (including me) do have the Lobby chat usually turned off.

But you will surely get SOME response at least.

Another option is if you set yourslf as green (=I do want to play). These who ask you to play with them probably do like your card. :)

You can combine both these possibilities, and see who will respond most quickly. :)

I would like a search function:

- for system (ie, any text in profile)

- for language - we need a language field

in combination with

- not in or registered for a tourney already

- not an enemy
