Deanrover Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 The situation: You are enjoying a nice game of bridge in the Main Bridge Club with your favorite partner Jo. You click the "tournament" tab and see this cool tournament starting in 45 minutes. The problem is, numbers are limited and it rates to sell out fast. Therefore, in order to sign up for it, you have to interrupt your game, click "back" a few times, go to the tourney area, sign up, click "back" a few more times and sit down at the table again. The ability to sign up for a tournament whilst playing would be sweetness. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jikl Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Another nice thing might be for a TD to set a standard ad for a Tourney... Tourney: #123 "Tourney title" starting in x minutes And for this to automatically happen at 10 minutes and 5 minutes and 1 minute. the reason I suggest this is that there is a lot of spam by some TDs about their Tourneys starting in 8 minutes, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1 which floods the lobby.

Rain Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I don't like the idea of making it too easy for players to sign up for tournament while playing at table. As it is, many players play a few boards, then suddenly in the middle of a bad contract, "Hi: I have left this table to play in a tournament, good bye" Rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 they shouldn't do that... when the tourney starts, they're swept away automatically and a message comes up explaining why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aisha759 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Many players sign up for a tournament, and come play at a table to pass the time.... and leave suddenly anyway.... I find it silly if it's half a board :) So why not make it easier for a player to sign up from main bridge club? It's a lovely idea IMO Aisha B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz K. Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Could the #of free places in the tournament be displayed in the main tourney list or in the special "hint", like in the matches in play? The second suggestion: could you add any filter to the tournaments, like "show full tables" in the main bridge club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlPurple Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 You can also be swept away into a team-game. Perhaps the software could be modified so you would not be able to start a hand in the main bridge club when you are signed up for a tourney that is less than 8 minutes time.
