Sometime we like to invite a friend (or regular partner) to play in the next ACBL tournement who is not registred on the list looking for a partner.
We can see the player is a ACBL tournement but we don't now witch number.
So we don't now at wath time this tournement will be over. Exemple: a player is in a ACBL start at 4h15 (18 boards) and i invit him for the 6h00 acbl speedball. Most of the time this tournement will not be over in time. And i lost my speedball. if can see the number, will now and not invite. Your could tell me the player who receive invitation should not accept. But some take ''a chance'' to be there in time.. Frustration

BBO allows 6 Minutes per board in a tournament---so an 18 board event will last just shy of 2 hours. That's a good rule of thumb to follow if you want to invite someone already playing in an event. Check the start time of the current event, and the number of boards x 6, added together will approximate the end of that event.

The point is that when you click on a player it just says the hostname of the tourney they're playing in, it doesn't provide any more details. There's no way to know what time it started or how many boards it is. And the minutes/board depends on whether it's a virtual club game or a speedball.
