timouthy Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I would like to know a couple of things. 1. I assume tourney directors can remove unruly players from a tourney but can they remove them from BBO as well and, if so, for what reasons? On more than one occasion I have been disconnected from BBO for no reason, and assumed it was just a bad BBO connection. It seemed to always happen when I filled in as sub in a tourney for just a hand or two. Does any or all of the above apply to team match "directors" as well? 2. Who besides yourself can have access to the notes you keep on the profile windows of other BBO players? Specifically can the directors see these notes? Grazie, Timouthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Only yellows (aka hosts) can remove people from BBO. 2. No, directors can't see this. BBO internal staff can get it from the database, but it's not a routine activity that non-technical staff can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 1. No. Only yellows (aka hosts) can remove people from BBO.Others have reported the same bug where people getting subbed out of a tournament also get booted out of BBO, so it seems this isn't strictly true, albeit unintentionally: https://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/87937-why-do-you-boot-players-when-they-get-subbed/ . You might have misread it though since the only response was about chat logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Yep - happens to me all the time.Every time I sub and then the original player is reseated I get removed from BBO.I asked the Director once if they had done it and they said no.I think it started sometime in the past 12 months so it seems that there was some kind of bootthemoutgrade (accidentally) implemented in the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerriman Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Recent post on BW about how someone was thinking about a hand, the opponents called the director upset about the slow play.. and suddenly they were disconnected from BBO and had to log back in to see they had been subbed.
