Take care,Desi - BridgeBase Customer Service [kristen.barfod@hotmail.com - Mon Aug 22 09:09:20 2011]: BBO Username:Fammi The new internet version of BBO seems to be useless for joining team matches. There is no possibility to call lobby for participants, there is never any matches listed on the upcoming matches page, it is not possible to join a running match as sub. I bet that almost all team matches still are being organized in the good old downloadable version. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi Kristen, welcome to the forums! I guess you are right, all the totally random team matches are still organised via the old client. Personally, I've never understood their appeal and can organise perfectly good non-random team matches with the new version.

barmar Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 The ways in which it was "broke" are not necessarily visible to users. From what I understand, here are some of the problems with the old version: The protocol it used put too much load on BBO's servers, so it was hard for them to handle as many users as they wanted to. The design of the program made it hard to add new features, like Bridge Bingo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
