No table owner

[kgr]

Small remark:

I was playing on a table with permission required to join. Table owner left the table and nobody else became the table owner for about 2 - 3 minutes. Somebody did join the table without permission.

After about 2 minutes I got the message that table owner left and I was now the table owner.

...probably a delay on the server?

...and another - similar - one:

Today I joined a table to play. About 1 minute after I joined the table I received a permission request pop-up from another player to join, but I was not the table owner!

(Before I was table owner at another table. Maybe this permission request was a delayed one)

...and another BBO issue I had yesterday in this category:

My partner said last hand and he left the table. At the same time RHO - who was table owner - left the table. Leaving me and LHO at the table, without a table owner. This did last for about 3 minutes (I did watch PC clock to time this). Then I had a new partner and RHO seat was taken again by the same player who was sitting there before and he was still table owner.

So, probably RHO did not really leave the table (otherwise he would not have been table owner when returning), but the seat was incorrectly shown as empty for about 3 minutes (at least for my viewpoint).

If the table owner leaves his seat to become kib, then he stays table owner.

He can take his seat back later.

The table owner must leave the table, so that another player get to be owner. If he just closes his BBO window and does not log off, thn BBO will need about 2 minutes to realise the connection is lost. During this time the player might stay table host.
