Orgdevpro Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Why has a game started without a registered pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Unless the tournament has +allavail+ in the description, it doesn't wait for all registered pairs to be online. Any pairs that are registered but not available will be deregistered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pairs that are registered but not available will be deregistered. Yesterday tournament #7392 had 15 pairs registered AND had +allavail+ in description. At start time I saw 1 pair removed and tournament start with 7 pairs tables (sorry). I spoke to the pair who insisted they were online and it looked to me as though they were as well.

Ken cancelled their registration about 30 seconds before it started. They tried to register again, but the tourney was already starting so it was too late.

pescetom Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Ken cancelled their registration about 30 seconds before it started. They tried to register again, but the tourney was already starting so it was too late. As mentioned before, this is an easy mistake to make with the current interface.If you click on your registration to be sure who you are registered with (or whatever) then you get a reassuring message and an innocuous looking 'cancel inscription' button. Someone in a hurry may not read the button and assume that it dismisses the message, or press it because they can't see any other way out, or whatever.Offering an 'OK' button and a red 'cancel inscription' button (or something similar) would help.

barmar Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 We often wonder why players mistakenly cancel their registrations, I think you may be right about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
