Rosesm Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Can anyone help? :( Recently, while playing casual/friendly games, players are being booted off the table for taking too long to bid, or even to play.How should the table be set up to prevent this happening - we are only playing in a friendly four-some, non-competitively, and would happily chivvy each other via chat if players taking too long, etc. How can we stop BBO system doing this?I assume we need to set up in CASUAL but what else?Any help gratefully received. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Check 'permission required to play'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Check 'permission required to play'. Which for some strange reason is not the default.Adding +slow+ may be useful too IIRC (in any case it cannot hurt). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 +slow+ doubles it from 50 to 100. Permission sets it to infinite. But yes, it's definitely not obvious that these things are related (which is why this is the most-asked question on BBO!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification.It would seem elementary to dissociate this from permission to play (with default 'yes') and offer a choice of 50s/100s/unlimited (with default 100s or 'unlimited').

Players should just start a table and get whatever BBO thinks is good for them. Options just confuse things. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
