MojoLA Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 The online message has some enticing updates for directors, but is sadly missing on details! How do we see a traveler during an event? I haven't found anything. (It says in "Tournament History" which I can't find.) (/v3) How small a game will be stratified now? What are the rules? How about some details on the new SECTIONSIZE hack? What if you have an odd number of tables? Morris JonesMojoLAvacb277210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi Mojo, Greg Coles has more details. This was a server upgrade (the backstage support). Some extra coding is needed to offer extra tools to the TDs. We plan to do a small bbo client upgrade early next week and this will activate the board travellers option in the TD tools. This feature is only available in sanctioned tournaments (you will see it when using your VACB account, but not in a free game). We'll update the club manager manual and all relevant documentation when all features are fully active and available. Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diana_eva Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Nope, at some point the programmers made all these description strings case insensitive. So it doesn't have to be all caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBruce Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 On Saturday our 5-table game (#59370) was not stratified. I assumed that this might have been because it was created before the server change. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordontd Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 The change was made yesterday afternoon. I can't see it when I look. Is it just in the web version? Where do I look? There was mention above of "Tourney History" but that doesn't seem to be in the dropdown menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was mention above of "Tourney History" but that doesn't seem to be in the dropdown menu.I was talking about the change that allows tournaments with 5 or fewer tables to be stratified. That doesn't appear anywhere, it just happens automatically. We reduced the minimum number of tables for stratification to 3. However, last night we reverted to the previous version of the server because of the bug that caused yesterday afternoon's crash. The changes to the TD tool affect the "Table History" and "Player History" options in the dropdown menu; but this was also reverted until we can deploy the server fix. The server was changed to support showing the traveller for a specific board, but you won't be able to access this until an option is added to the client.
