- Had 9 pairs registered. Tournament was configured for maximum 12 pairs, 18 boards, 2 boards per round. This failed with "Too Many Teams".
- Set up new tournament and told people to re-register. I believe we only got 8 pairs registered the 2nd time. Tournament was configured identically maximum 12 pairs, 18 boards, 2 boards per round. Again got "Too Many Teams"
- Tried one last time to again set up new tournament and told people to re-register. This time we got the 9 pairs registered like we had the first time. Configured tournament for maximum 10 pairs, 14 boards, 2 boards per round (basically because we had wasted time with the two rejected tournament starts. This time the tournament started OK. (with a sitout because we had 9 pairs but that was expected).
So I don't know whether changing the maximum pairs from 12 to 10 was significant or whether it was changing the boards from 18 to 14. Neither of these changes makes sense as something that would get rid of the error. If someone knows of heuristics that would eliminate this error, that would be great.
Also, BBO folks, it would be nice if one got a warning earlier rather than the tournament just failing to start.

When this failure happened do you remember what the configured values were for boards and boards per round?

Happened to us in two consecutive attempts today, the first time there were a bit less than 50,000 and the second time exactly 50,000.
I don't always check the number of players online but I suspect we have previouly run successfully at over 50,000, though.

Would there be any place where one can look up the average number of BBO players online for a given time?

I understand that EBU and the French Federation are now running BBO virtual clubs, is that correct?
It would probably explain the sudden change.

Anyone can give me any idea what was wrong or it's just some bug?

I have repeatedly had the same problem, once getting a 3.00pm game going on the fourth attempt at 3.55pm. It seems that if there are over 46,000 players on-line at the start of the tournament you may well experience problems. The earlier you start, the better your chances...
