How do we see a traveler during an event? I haven't found anything. (It says in "Tournament History" which I can't find.) (/v3)
How small a game will be stratified now? What are the rules?
How about some details on the new SECTIONSIZE hack? What if you have an odd number of tables?

Greg Coles has more details. This was a server upgrade (the backstage support). Some extra coding is needed to offer extra tools to the TDs.
We plan to do a small bbo client upgrade early next week and this will activate the board travellers option in the TD tools.
This feature is only available in sanctioned tournaments (you will see it when using your VACB account, but not in a free game).
We'll update the club manager manual and all relevant documentation when all features are fully active and available.

So, are these upgrades for ACBL only or are the virtual club accounts for other NBO's included?

Please come back to the live game; I directed enough online during COVID for several lifetimes.

The server change was made Thursday night, but this feature needs to be enabled in a settings file. We haven't made that change yet.

Please announce changes when they are actually available. Far less confusion that way.

I can't see it when I look. Is it just in the web version? Where do I look? There was mention above of "Tourney History" but that doesn't seem to be in the dropdown menu.

I was talking about the change that allows tournaments with 5 or fewer tables to be stratified. That doesn't appear anywhere, it just happens automatically. We reduced the minimum number of tables for stratification to 3.
However, last night we reverted to the previous version of the server because of the bug that caused yesterday afternoon's crash.
The changes to the TD tool affect the "Table History" and "Player History" options in the dropdown menu; but this was also reverted until we can deploy the server fix.
The server was changed to support showing the traveller for a specific board, but you won't be able to access this until an option is added to the client.
