Hi,

Just one little sugestion...

When you finish the last hand of a tournament, in a 'real' bridgeclub you can say thanks and goodbye, or 'well played' to your partner and opps before getting up and leaving. But in BBase you are immediatley thrown off the table at the end of the last round without having any chance to type a single word.

Could we have a little time to say our goodbyes politley before leaving the table as and when we want ?

John.

That's actually a good idea! I would also like our score to be in another color, so you dont have to search through all these names...

Idea: When a tournament finishes throw the players to a chatroom automatically created, then you can chat with other players, discuss hands, etc. If the tournament was very big then you can create "n" chatrooms named "ToruneyNameDiscussion1, etc"
You can have some social time and discuss hands.
Eventually the chatroom can have buttons to the results, movie for the player hands and other improvements.

hi,

there `s already a highlited color of your score and name, second u can see your satndings in the movie, just stay in tournament area and click on movie, the change in colour is done recently(couple of weeks now), good thinking of luis, maybe interesting for some to discuss hands been played

Y, we try to highlight the player name (in red) in the Tourney Results. Not perfect yet, and fails for some usernames that contain blanks or whatever.

I am resistant to the idea that a completed round should linger in case someone wants to chat. What if the opps dont want to chat and have someplace else they want to be? Maybe a chat option of

chat->last_opponents

would do it, but I suspect that FG won't put this on top of our list. But I could be wrong, we'll find out.

When a tourney ends, everyone who was at a tourney table is still in the tourney "Lobby". Chat->tourney reaches everyone in this tourney.
So I dont think it is too hard for the host (or an interested party) to say 'meet me in chatrooms' and create one. I am not sure that the coding involved to do this automatically is worth the pain (my pain :-> )

hi,


missed this a bit, this chatroom is ,was good idea if tds want to , some players finisch and want to compete inmediatly in next so that would cause trouble too, what sometimes happens is that players discuss their last hand using tournament chat , like, we should have bid 7 nt there its cold, others read this and still in bidding asking for aces(not sure if slam is possible), maybe change that if not to much trouble, no moree tournament chat after a player has finisched his tourney
, maybe second part of this mess shoud be in improvements of software :D
