Help
After 325 deals over 34 tables I finally became host.
I believe that only occurred because at one point all
the other players left the table.
South and West were host at 32 tables, East was host
at one table.

but who's counting.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Please add my name to those in favor of going back to the earlier system
of host selection.
I have just finished a 45-deal set in which I was never host, and that strikes
me as not fair at all.
I am in favor of continuous quality improvement, but the new host
selection system is not an improvement IMO.
I think the best system would be to have host rotate to the player who has
been at the table longest. Kibbitzers need not be in queue.

Agreed completely and please add my name to the list of those clearly unhappy with the new host system.

Any player who is inactive for 5 minutes should get automatically booted out if the host does not boot earlier. The host should also get booted for inactivity.
Players claiming to be intermediate or above must have profile.

People who bid badly should be automatically banned for 2 years.
Players who smoke should be suspended for a week. After a third infraction, a lifetime ban.
Players who cheat should receive a lifetime ban-- under no circumstances adultery should be condoned.
People who drink or vote for Sara Palin , banned.
Plus the people who do not floss-- they should not be allowed to play bridge.

The problem is that "profile" can be garbage.
Or, perhaps worse,
"SAYC" by players who don't know what that means
"Weak 2 except 2C"
"short club"
and so on.
I doubt if the software is strong enough to tell a meaningful profile from a meaningless one.

My goodness. This thread has become a griping session for people to complain about all of the bad behaviors of everyone else.
To the person complaining that they are never host, they obviously just need to learn how to start a table themselves. A little education goes a long way.
I think for the main issue at the start of the topic, there have been some requests for a chance to the hierarchy of the hosting system. I'm sure Uday understands the issue thoroughly by now.

I guess that's me you are talking about.
I know how to start a new table, but I prefer to join tables
already in session with three players seated.
The site owner has very kindly related in another thread
that the problem has been recognized, and will be addressed.
