2 halves or 3 parts of matches

[rutrr]

Hi!

 

I would like to suggest adding 2 options in matches:

 

1. "Change opponents after half"

 

We have two teams A and B.

Now we can only play match A-NS play vs B-EW and A-EW vs B-NS.

If we want to play A-NS vs B-NS and A-EW vs B-EW we must create new match. Why?

 

2. "All vs All"

 

We have two teams A and B.

Now we can only play match A-NS play vs B-EW and A-EW vs B-NS.

If we want to plany A-NS vs B-NS, A-NS vs B-EW, A-NS vs A-EW we must crate 3 mathches. Why?

 

Hope it will be easy to add and hope you enjoy :D

 

Greetings

If we want to play A-NS vs B-NS and A-EW vs B-EW we must create new match. Why?

The main reason is that, before April, no-one had ever asked for this option. Changing opponents is common in such countries, unheard of in others, and some have seating rights based on the half-time score.

 

If someone had asked prior to April, I expect BBO would have declined since most BBO users are impatient and would not wish to wait for another table to finish before starting to play some more.

 

It is not a great hardship to run a second match and I suspect that this will remain a low priority request.

This is called a tournament with four pairs, it is not a team match.

I would also like the option of automatic switch at the half of a two team game. This format is used when friends are playing. Manual reconfiguration must wait until both tables have completed play, so nothing is lost by an automatic reconfiguration. It also saves the re-invitation step.
