i remember reading something about some feedback system pertaining to poor tournament operators such that they can be stopped from hosting future tournaments if they get enough negative feedback. do i remember correctly? if so, how do i submit my report?

of course bbo could send all such reports to the bin, but it would make those filing them feel better at least - a vent for letting off steam.

I can't find the posts now, but I once complained that the director who was supposed to be running a tournament was not online while the tournament was going on. BBO staff said they could record this, but that wasn't about an incompetent director, but an absent one.

LHO was having difficulty staying connected or was trying to leave the tournament without completing the hand and didn't realize BBO connects you back to your tournament automatically. The director, since this was the last hand, adjusted the score without warning to 5♠=. No correction was ever made despite immediate complaints about the adjustment. Any comment from other directors? CAVEAT other directors defending this action had best clearly explain why.... to avoid getting added to my ♣list.

Hi Toona, avoid this tournament/director in future.

This table's auction is going in a permanent archive.

Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

That's impressive, but why does it belong in this thread?

Just looking at that traveler...

My suggestion would be for BBO to seriously restrict the # of tables that a tournament can have. 152 is just too friggin many... how many directors were there?
