Things I miss in V3
  • Saving all deals in a tournament
  • Player categories - essential for TDing AND playing.
  • Unable to sort table lists by player names (useful for TDing near tourney end)
  • No VUgraph voice
  • FD convention cards.
  • Convention card list confusing - why not
  • list each CC & then all the players you use it with &
  • list CC used with each player profile.

Still Broken:
  • History shows NS & EW vs We & They for tournaments where players switch directions.
  • Useless Description for Tables. Why was this ever there?
I would like (suggestions):
  • In table list: round #; board #; minutes used in round; minutes since last action - sortable - to help TDs manage tourneys
  • In round box: Pairs/Indy/Team indication; Survivor/Swiss/Clocked/Unclocked indication - mainly for subs.
  • In Deal Archive, show count of deals with the Archive name

Not sure what browser/program you are using to write this, but it is filled with superfluous size/colour indications that make it difficult to quote specific points.

An overbid for TDing I would suggest, at least now that one can use robots instead of human subs; certainly not on my top gripes list as a TD.

Has this to do with TDing?
I have occasionally had voice work and with good quality digital sound too. There may be an issue with Chrome (according to some) and there is certainly a problem that vugraph does not advise when there is no voice available, which does not help clarify the situation.

Aren't FD convention cards unsupported and deprecated by BBO now? If so it makes sense that they no longer work.
As a recent TD using V3, I have never seen my players convention cards and I was told by BBO that I could not impose the use of one.
Could a TD see the convention card(s) in use under Flash client?

If this is the bug where "We" actually means "They" then I agree, this is appalling and should be easy to fix.


Now that Director calls finally have a sound in V3 and that robot subs can be inserted manually, my top gripes as a TD are:
1. that robot insertion is still not automatic
2. that I have no access to tournaments I have directed
3. that I cannot assign a penalty
4. that I only have 20 minutes to correct scores
5. that I am often unable to view traveller during that time
6. that score correction is unnecessarily error prone
7. that I have no way to poll players

So you don't want to identify
  • banned players who are playing (BBO lets them in randomly)
  • other TDs online
  • friends who use particular systems
  • TDs in your club
  • Players in your club
  • good players
  • cheaters
  • rude players
  • polite players

You must have really blind tourneys with random folk who sometimes swear at each other or fail to alert properly..

Almost all my players are members of my club, others are ex-members or from nearby clubs. I know well which are good/polite/ethical and also who tends to misbehave in various ways.
When BBO has forced me to use human substitutes I label them as friends/enemies and put the good ones in a custom list.

So I really feel no pressing need for this feature. I appreciate that for many other directors things may be very different, especially if they already relied on it and then suddenly it went missing.
