Very strict tournament on earth

It must be a full moon, I've just had a player complain about the time I took to play to trick 1 and here is what she said...

well BBO rules are no more than 1min per bid and play
It is for all tourneys according to the Board of Trustees of BBO
It is in the beginning conversatuion when you first join BBO and why most directors will not put up with slow play
It is onkly fair as if all took more than a minute on each play and bid we woukld have to wait florever for new rounds and there mwould be too much cheating
I am on Board of trustgees, and I know as we have discusssed it over and over again
You are the one who cant seem to see reasson for keeping each play and bid to a max of 1min you act like a fool

Besides the other points not making sense, please PM name, this one is a blatant lie (no such thing as a Board of Trustees).

We did introduce a more automated tourney type recently, the 'Express' series.

These are individuals that, among other things, insist that each bid/play be made within a minute ( there is no TD, so the slow/missing player is replaced after that interval)

That might be what confused the person talking to JillyB

i would not worry about it

he could not get a 4th

*********

I once remember one of those world class games and my partner persuaded me to change the skill level so i could play.

i did and we signed up for the game.

lo and behold, i was replaced from the game within 1 minute.

partner inquired and the td said he removed me because i was not expert, lol.

my partner tried to argue that i indeed was-- well in reality my partner was no expert either but he did not get replaced.

i suspect the said td must have had me marked as enemy , or had a note in my profile to the extent that i was not expert.

i was ok with it, but my partner did suffer 15 boards with an expert sub who could not cuebid

What's a non-serious expert?

Someone who is very good at bridge but is drunk right now and doesn't intend to try very hard?

You're wrong. A non-serious bridge expert is one that doesn't feel the need to type in "???????????????????" every time they think partner made a mistake.
