Deanrover Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 When moving your cursor over a tournament it will often say "restrictions: language/country" but not state which language and which country! I think BBO should definitely expand upon the description of restrictions. Furthermore, it might be an idea not to list tournaments which a user is ineligible for. This would make things more simple, and would also cut down on users altering their profile in order to become eligible for a tourney. I also find the "restrict by language" function perplexing. For example, 90%+ of BBO users speak competent English at worst, yet probably only 15% come from Anglophone countries. Furthermore there are many users such as Booze and Walddk who are fluent in 5 or more languages. Using country of origin as an indication of linguistic ability is inaccurate and, in cases, misleading. An "Anglophone" only tournament would permit David Beckham and deny Thierry Henry, but we all know who speaks better English :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
