Contacting the TD postgame via chat

[McBruce]

Many players at my virtual club are having difficulty figuring out how to send chat to me after the game ends. I stay online for well over the 20 minute correction period. I flood the chat area with announcements >tournament during the last round so I would think the easiest way would be to click on one of those chats, but I don’t know what gets printed on other screens:

 

VACB154976: Thanks for playing today, yadayadayada....

 

That would be obvious, click the name and type a message

 

Tournament: Thanks for playing today, yadayadayada....

 

Not so much anymore, unless Tournament goes to me and not to the ACBL onboarder whose handle precedes mine alphabetically and is listed first.

 

I’m hearing all sorts of convoluted solutions involving history but there has to be an easier way.

What the EBU does is send an announcement during the last round, something like:

 

I'm your TD, thanks for playing. I'll be around for about 20 minutes after the game ends in case you need a review, etc. Click my name to send me a message.

 

I'm not sure how effective it is, but seems pretty clear to the players how to reach him (if they are reading the chat)
