pirate22 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 This most annoying Scenario's--causes time wasting -and non replies before bidding commences--when one clicks each opponents Profile it states Sayc-Precision and bits-when clicking other opponents profile it states Sayc--so if opp is dealer we get 1cl--is this Precision/Sayc.another Situation is your r/h opp is an Expert and his profile states NOTHING,which i can fully understand they can adapt to all styles of bidding-but it is very unfair and unethical for me to ask,whether i am going to makea bid ,and unethical if i have no reason to ask....Then i see a lot of TD's expounding the usual suspects -- alert all precision bids no undoo's no physches,etc etc INCLUDING A SWEEPING STATEMENT-"No Profile NO PLAY " what does this mean????? Hot Air ??Sureley a way round this the dealer at the commencemnt shld state System.A classic example is im 4th in hand and the bidding proceeds 1cl?-pass-1n/t--- at this point with noclear profiles {either/or Precision/sayc} I CLICK THE 1cl bid and await,nothing forthcoming soi still await---------- Then what comes up in CHAT Pard??????????? or the 1n/t states your bid???. IT SHOULD BE AN ENFORCED RULE NO INFO ON PROFILE bOOT THEM--IF EITHER OR SYS {Confusion} Boot them as well.Im in Favour before bidding commences the dealer should state sys--if Dealer passes the next opp shld state system.. ANY SUPPORTERS???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I might be in favour. I just don't really understand what you're trying to propose. Firstly, if you want to control who sits down at your table when you're the host, click in the permission to play checkbox. Therefore, if you don't want to play against opponents who have no information in their profile, you don't have to. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with clicking on a bid to discover the meaning of it. Because BBO self-alerts, there is no UI transferred to the table when a player explains their bid.

barmar Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 mr1303, did you not notice what forum this is -- he's talking about tournaments, not MBC. The TD announced that they should alert all Precision bids. If they didn't alert 1♣, just assume that it's natural. Most pairs that play anything unusual announce it when they arrive to the table at the beginning of the round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 my apologies -I have not made my beef clear..firstly this refers to a Tourney,and it is not regarding who sits at the table,that is predetermined --- i Have found in the past,many cases of non alert's especialyy where precision is concerned or polish club.plus the fact if one clicks a further bid -there is no response---hence the onus is upon the first dealer before making a bid declare their system..i.e. Sayc--sayc2/1--polish club--precision--acol and then make a bid... If one plays in a tourney and you sit there assuming with no alerts taking place that your opponents auction is natural {SAYC} you will find that your wooden leg and Toupe are missing :):) and forget about complaining to the TD-anyone can be a TD if one wants to donate ones time-some td's have no actual experience,and im not knocking TD's-overall they are very genuine persons-and god bless them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 having exchanged e-mails with Barmar,he has not experienced my beef because he only plays in ACBL tourneys,so there is a higher standard of compliance to pre alert Precision/Polish club.to be commended... a level ply field so to speak..I still want an explanation to "No profile No Play"???

barmar Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Are you having these problems in free tourneys or pay tourneys? We pretty much leave free tourneys up to the tourney hosts to manage. Almost anyone can host free tourneys, we only take away this right in response to eggregious behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Yes you are correct Free Tourneys.. the picture is becoming a little more clearer,as an aside,i have so far not played in Pay tourneys-i am somewhat suspicious of another element with internet bridge,cheating.having 3 computers running,mobile phones-skype as aide's to further their efforts,this was proved to be the case with E-Bridge,now defunct--but will give pay bridge a whirl,assuming the standard of ethics is higher.your use of the word Eggregious without looking it up {but will do}explains that a low level of decisions are made by TD's,are made in free tourneys. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 "Pay" tourneys are not that great a cost. I would suggest giving them a go. If then your experience is negative (after a reasonable test run) it will not have broken the bank if you then cut out and say it is not for you. For the price of a round of drinks you could play in a dozen tourneys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
