When you are host on a teaching table, the software doesn't let you join a team match you have been invited, the program shows that you are "playing another tournament". It even shows the message to the host of the teaching table.

I am using the old client althou I doubt it matters on this case.

This is intentional. It has been assumed that nobody wants the teacher or a student to be swept away in a tourney in the middle of a teaching session.

Why would anyone enter a tournament if they were at a teaching table?

I used to start a teaching table to review hands with my parnter, so we could be reviewing hands while waiting for a tournament to start.
(This isn't a problem now since I can't load hands to teaching tables on BBO Flash :( )

I think the same "problem" exists with partnership bidding tables, tournament registration is canceled.

It is very easy to explain why, when I am teaching a student, we often play team matches, but between matches we spend the time at a teaching table.

To me the question is: Why would anyone on a teaching table click on yes to join a team match while teaching if he doesn't want to join.

This is not happening. Partners can practice at a bidding table until the tourney starts, and the registration is not cancelled. They get swept away when the tourney starts, just like when playing at a regular table.

Hands can be loaded for review at a partnership table also - it doesn't have to be a teaching table.

And recent hands / recent tourneys can be loaded on the web version as well.

1. Start a bidding/teaching table
2. Click My BBO
3. Select Hands and Results
4. Choose the tourney/hand you wish to review
5. Export deal > Load to table

Fabulous! thanks.
I can get the first hand loaded fine but when I click redeal I get a random deal, not deal#2.
What am I doing wrong?
