In automated tourneys without director you can't table chat but you should be able to chat to opps. For example, I am not sure how else to tell them what kind of leads and carding we play.

Guess what i discovered
When you play with a regular partner your CC is still set to GIB 2/1
so not only can you not tell opponents you are playing weak NTs or your carding they cant even check your CC

Go into your account under convention cards and pick you + partner's card. Then verify.

The alert function in red should be used to self=alert- let someone know if it is not working.

It just doesnt work in BBOfest and the free individuals limited to 40 people
It is a feature of BBO not a bug
They know about it

Is that true? Actually you are probably right, I don't recall ever having seen an alert.

Maybe that explains why we do so well playing Moscito. Opps think we play 2/1. Just kidding.

But it's fairly ridiculous. When you join the tournament you are encouraged to alert your bids.
