Help
Sorry if this was asked before.
Can we also save the profile of the players in the hand records? This might be useful to some when they browse the traveller...
Thanks.

Some Interesting Facts, and why I think your request will not be doable...
Did you know that BBO plays more hands in a month than OKBridge plays in year? I know this to be true based on Bridgebrowser data. In the month of October, there was 1.71 million tournament/team game hands, and 3.5 million plays from the main room. That is more than 5 million hands, and does not include.. .money bridge, money bridge tournaments, robot race, teaching tables, total point games, and to keep the data "pure" the author of bridgebrowser does not add any hands played with GIB to the bridgebrowser database (I wanted to use bridgebrowser to really find out how gib bids and defends... oh well). This will equate to 63 million hnad plays per year. Since January 1, 2006 (almost a year now), okbridge has only had 3.51 million hand plays. Surely in November and December they will not surpase the October total of 5.27 million in okbridge.
Now to the problem you are suggesting. Each time a hand is written to the myhands file, to include TEXT that describes the profile of the players at the table. This will cause a lot of problems, the first being a tremendous expansion of the amount of info stored (disk space). Maybe with cheap disk space this is not so important. But what would be a killer is the amount of information that has to be off-loaded from the server. When you log on do you see how slow it is to add all the info about the players to your computer (how long it takes for the flags to show up and the profile info). Now you want to write that info each time a hand is played. I think that would choke the server and slow performance so much as to be not feasible (maybe there could be a static page with everyones profilles that can be linked to the myhands site however so that it is just a once a day update to that data or something).

That is an insane number of bridge plays, 63 million.
So, how much are we slacking are we really doing playing bridge instead of working?

Well, that is an estimate multiplying the number in october by 12 for 12 months. Amazingly not all hands are included in that number.... nor vugraph of course...
