I'd like to see a new feature of the BBO. When a declarer logs out in the middle of the hand, put the dummy in the role of declarer for the rest of the hand. When a complete newcomer is placed into the role of the declarer, he doesn't know what cards have been played and either leaves the table or plays badly. But the dummy should have been following the hand and is perfectly suited for it.

Unless dummy has gotten up to go get a drink, thinking he has a couple of minutes to spare.

Good idea.

Along the same lines, when a player is about to leave for a tournament, put some sort of visual marker up.
