Wainfleet Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I had a situation recently where a player thought she was registered for the tournament but her computer had frozen. I got an alert from the BBO system. Eventually the player rebooted and rejoined, and the tournament started. If it had been necessary to de-register the pair then how would the system have dealt with it. Would the tournament start automatically and how would it adjust movements. movement-wise. FYI the event was set up as a +howell+ +rounds9+ but without the deregistered pair we would have changed the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsLawsd Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Would they ask for a sub instead first. Sounds like Howell would be the superior movement with that number of pairs...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4billybob6 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Yes That was at the start of the description.type in +howell+ in description box and u will get a full howell movement. if u have a half table, u will have a sitout but u go into "substitutes" ( from director tab ) and sub out the sitout for a robot. the number of rounds us 1 less than the number of teams ie. a team will play all the other teams.

FYI the event was set up as a +howell+ +rounds9+ but without the deregistered pair we would have changed the movement.The only situation that would require a movement change given the above set up is if there were only 9 pairs registered originally i.e enough to run a 9 round Howell. Whether you let the movement continue with a sit-out or fill the half table with human or robot subs is entirely your choice. Once a pair does not start, we then have 8 pairs and not enough numbers to run 9 rounds. Any number above 5 tables would not have affected the movement if a pair does not start as there would still be enough pairs to play 9 rounds.
