Hello,

Not sure which thread I should put this in, so thought I'll start a new topic.

I enjoy playing in these free MBT, even tho sometimes I am very frustrated by how the GIB bids and plays. Thanks BBO for doing this.

I have one complaint however.

It is hard to register for these tournaments, as registration is usually full in the first minute the tournament opens.

What I am complaining about is that after the tournament starts, there seems to be sitouts and red players. This is NOT fair to all the other players who wanted to play but could not register.

I'd like to see that people who don't finish the tournament, no shows, or who've registered for other tournaments while these tournaments are running should be banned from future FREE MBT. After all, we all know that they last 25 mins and if a player registers, they should make a commitment to sit through the whole time.

Does anyone else agree with me on this?

If it´s not important to win, tell me, why do they keep records?

Meanwhile it takes about 3-5 seconds, but I did it. Strike! :P
