This point has been raised before. Sorry, I cannot find it, or I would have tacked this onto the end of that thread.

I refer to the Flash version.

To recap, when you play in a tourney you can review the action at other tables of hands that have been completed at your table.
This works fine until you complete the final hand at your table, upon which the other tables are "frozen" in the results, and you cannot for example scroll through their play.

In the grand scheme of things this (behavioural change on completion of final hand) is perhaps a low-ish priority. You can wait until the tourney completes and then review the historical hands in the alternative manners available.

That said I feel compelled to say that speaking personally I find it highly irritating - perhaps more so than can be rationally justified.

The reason for the problem has been explained. Included in that explanation was a statement that the problem was only manifest for a matter of a minute or two. My observation is that it lasts rather longer, possibly accounting for my elevated irritation.

From recollection, that explanation fell short of a commitment to correcting it or acknowledging that it was worth correcting. The purpose of this post is in the hope of confirming that this is on the agenda for development.

All that is required is to preserve the method employed throughout the first n-1 hands at hand n (for a tourney of n hands).





Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

It was only recently that we could look at other table results during a T. When we did that, we weren't sure anyone would care at all. It was a lot easier ( for tech reasons) to not support it once u left the tourney.

So today, u can look at travelers while your tourney table is active - once that's no longer true, you have to wait for the full end-of-tourney plus a min or so to look at travelers.

I won't commit to changing this behaviour, but I'll commit to checking into how popular this feature is in the first place. And then if it is popular, I'll see what I can do. I don't know yet how complex the tweak would be, tho my instincts are telling me it might not be too bad.

I would like to support the request to be able to review "the action " (the bidding and the play)at other tables immediately upon completion of a tournament. BBO is a great learning tool, and being able to get immediate feedback on why you got a good or bad result on a hand is a very useful feature. The current wait of a minute or more is annoying.
