Who's on what team? Is there any easy way to figure it out?

Many times in the tournaments on the Vugraph, the team name does not make it obvious who its players are. So when I watch "Joe" play a hand, I don't know whether he is on team A or team B.

Somewhere in the online documentation I found that, for each table, the NS pair would be listed first in the Vugraph "lobby." Usually, however, this is not done, as the two teams are listed in the same order for both the open and the closed rooms.

So all I know to do now is to watch the result, and see how new IMPs are posted to infer the team memberships. Pretty clumsy, and it means I have to wait until a hand is completed.

Is there some way team members could be listed? Or am I missing something.

Thanks

The boxes in which the team and player names appear have colored backgrounds, and the colors match. So the players whose names appear in blue boxes are on the team whose name is in a blue box and the players whose names appear in purple boxes are on the team whose name is in a purple box, or whatever the colors on your screen happen to be. For some events shown on Vugraph you can also get information about the teams by going to the event website.

My VU team colors by default were blue and a slightly different shade of blue I had a heck of a time working out who was who.

I think if you click on the little options wheel then the colors tab you will find one of the buttons under bridge diagram color is 'Team 2' If you change this the team color in VU and team matches will be updated. This makes following the teams sooooo much easier. :P

Thanks for the hints! I'll try them the next time I see a vugraph tourney. I might have known it would involve colours. I'm so colour-blind my partner says I confuse hearts and spades!
