is the testing of the tourney with the new version messing up the tourney?

Tonight, playing with a normally slow opponent.
So someone in the lobby, beige2, sends me a message asking why we are still on hand 3.
Then, somehow he sends me a partner request, which, for fun, I took.

End result, while in my room, i become blue 1 and he becomes blue 2 in the lobby.

I don't even know how he was able to send that.

Anyway, server reallllllly slow anyways, besides the normally slow opponent.

Just reporting, not complaining..

That would be a head scratcher. I have not made any alterations to the tournaments in over a year. The tournaments are a bit trickier in code because they do rely on the human factor to work properly. In this case it sounds like the next schedule came while you were still playing. Many times i see people "Request the next Schedule" to be funny and if enough people do it then the schedule will be sent. It was there as an emergency but some use it to kill the boredom of waiting. Same with voting to eject players.

All games are now Server Hosted. There is no reason the server should be slow. How do you describe slow ? If you are not host and play a card does it take too long to show in center?


I never think your complaining. i actually apreciate the information.

The person who appeared slow, and usually has a reputation for that, asked if we were playing, when it was her turn, so I assume that she had played and it hadn't appeared for us.

They probably voted us out because the game was so slow.

Here's the funny.  I get an offline message that, although I left the tourney after it went kaflooey, I get listed as a winner with my new blue partner.  Not sure if I got credit, but it is in the records lol.
