uday Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I agree; there is no reason to avoid revealing TD names, although i think we find that we prefer a consistent naming scheme. That does not mean that we currently go out of our way to announce the real life name of the Td. Maybe we should/will. The underlying human is always the same; that is, acbl_xx is always John Doe.

Hi There is enough space to attach a complete list of all ACBLxx-Ids in the lin-file "Tournament-Rules". Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Yes! Double X - But lets be careful. We don't need a list of all the ACBL TD's - we need to know WHICH TD's is officiating the tournament. Frosty :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it a coincidence that all TDs have the same name too..????? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uday, Some acbl tds don't even have a nick on their profiles let alone their real names. I think that you should follow up on your suggestion above and ask acbl tds to have their real name on their profile. According to Gweny's post above, all the acbl tds on bbo are acbl certified, therefore I see no reason for nicks or in one case at least, no name at all. There might be members that would like to check with acbl whether a name is certified or not if they don't want to take Gweny's word for it. I suspect that each director has his/her own set of announcements to make during the tournaments. Just a suggestion if I may. Would it be possible to have the same announcements made, by all the tds. i.e. tds don't need to make up their own. Something polite and civil....I have seen quite a few unecessary comments made by tds in acbl tournaments which I will not repeat here. I don't remember them word by word anyway but they seemed to be a little over the top. ;) People go to play tournaments to get points and to have fun. Being treated like a kindergarten kid or a fellon on probation, isn't my idea of fun. ThanksRona ThanksRona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 We do have most of the real names posted, and good reason to avoid it where it is not posted. If you must know why, email uday@ and I will tell you, it isnt fit for googling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
