Hi,

I find it really annoying that many td's today disable kibitzing in their tourneys.
I understand that it's to minimize cheating possibilities. I find it not compelling because:

a)cheating in online bridge is ridiculously easy. If you want to cheat you just send your hand via AIM to your partner and you have 80% guaranteed in every tourney. Additional profit from knowing opponents hands really doesn't matter;

b)kibitzing world class players is both fun and educational; there are less and less opportunities for it because of the tendency of disallowing kibitzes.

TD's ! Please don't do it anymore !

the wcs play in many open team matches, you will watch better bridge there

the wcs often play in the mbc among their peers , you will watch better bridge here

i do not understand your annoyance, the tds may set their games according to the privileges given them by bbo

so i do not know what your annoyance will accomplish
