Hi,

As a playing TD I am running small, swiss, 20 table tournaments for players who just want to play bridge, will alert when needed and wont quit, cheat, complain or abuse others. Simple enough heh. :rolleyes:
So far it has been successful and far more enjoyable than trying to run random, open tournaments.

If you would like to join, send me a message on BBO.

Sounds good. The biggest problem of trying to organise a tournament is quitters, but recently there seem to be massive connection problems. My partner was disconnected a couple of times yesterday randomly.

recently I have run 3 or 4 themed tourneys with set hands open to anyone and I must say, subbing was rare, in fact I was amazed how good they ran and positive feed back was great also

I find running small tournaments using an include list very successful in reducing the number of subs required – to zero most times. Occasionally I have opened the tournament to ‘all’ and when I do this, I have problems with quitters.

I only wish people would read my messages and not use the call td button :(
