| Repeated disconnections while playing on Buchanan Online |
We know some of you have experienced temporary disconnections on BBO, and we appreciate how frustrating this must be for you. Often these only last for a few seconds and are hardly noticeable, or they only occur once, are not too disruptive and are not repeated for the rest of the tournament, in which case there is usually no reason for the Director to take any action.
If a disconnection cannot be resolved within a reasonable time, the Director will usually decide to make a substitution so that play can continue. Should this happen to you, it is important to remember that normally this is not a permanent exclusion and will give you an opportunity to check your connection before returning to the tournament. When you log back on, BBO will take you straight to your table at the earliest opportunity, usually in time for the start of the next board.
However, persistent and repeated disconnections by a particular player will inevitably impact on the smooth flow of the tournament - the other players are put under undue pressure to finish a round on time, and the Director may find it difficult give sufficient attention to calls from other tables. In these circumstances the Director may decide to substitute the player concerned for the rest of the tournament.
If you do have a persistent problem with your connection during play, you may wish to complete our new online form “Disconnection problems”. You can find this in the Buchanan Online section of the menu of the club website.
