kgr Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 What is the easiest way to play bridge in the main bridge club together with you regular partner, without creating a new table (sometimes long wait if more then one empty seat...is this still true?)?

fred Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I don't think there is any easy way to do this now, but it is part of our plan for "phase 3" of "help me find a game!". Phase 1 is now in the testing stage. You can check it out by upgrading to 4.2.4. You can do this through: Click here for 4.2.4 post! I don't know when phases 2 and 3 of this project will be done, but I hope it will be in no more than a month. It could be much faster than that. No promises!

uday Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Fastest way is to open a table. Eventually the 'Find me a game' will cater to this. I dont think you will see long delays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 A trick is to have the player who is first in the alphabet host. If no one comes, tell the lobby that you are looking for opponents. Using this strategy I never have to look long for opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwingo Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Advertising in the Lobby for opps will become effective when the new version kicks in. It will a one right click solution to reach the Table. Right now it is a bit tedious to reach the Table in question in response to the Advt. So, finding opps is going to be very easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be kind of a help find 'us' a table? You give the name of your partner when using this new functionality?This would really be an added value!

mink Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 kgr: What is the easiest way to play bridge in the main bridge club together with you regular partner, without creating a new table (sometimes long wait if more then one empty seat...is this still true?)?I usually do it like this: I tell my partner sit down at a table with 2 empty seats. I change the main bridge club view settings to only show tables with friends. This way, when my partner sits down I immediately see that table and can click on the other seat. There are only rare cases where this method fails, mainly because at a permission-required-table I do not get permission. But no problem if it fails - just try again. Finding a table this way ususally is faster than opening a new table and wait for opps. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
