The BBOflash feature "Play - I have a partner, take us to a table" is great, but what would be even better would be an option like:

"Play - I have a partner and would like to play with another partnership. I'm prepared to wait". i.e. make a new table with us in one direction and wait for another pair to enter clicking the same option.

I would expect that this would be better for achieving a decent MBC game - in theory both pairs will be, if not established, happy to play with each other.

This could surely be done, but it is an overkill: you can as easy start a new table...


(Im using the old setting, I find it more intuitive, but this is surely possible also in flash-version??)


As you use the word matching, I would think the thema would be matching, ie: we are advanced, want to play with: intermediate or advanced.... As example.

Or even: we are friendly, want to play against: competitive. As another example...


Such could be done, and with several thousands players online the matchings should succeed most of the time without big trouble.

It's more the idea that when a pair use the "I have a partner" option, they're more likely to be an established partnership, so putting such pairs together would enable both to have a better standard of game.

Ah yes, I see and agree.

This option could be completed by the parallell: when starting a new table, have option to wish play against pairs; not two pick ups - even if they often arrive simultaneously....(I guess the automat often sends the two pick ups simultaneously).



And there should also be the possibility to have a room for established pairs. Almost none uses the Master club, so why not try room for established pairs - which is many do ask for?
