The new vugraph schedule presenting session times in the users' local time zone is a great innovation. One slight annoyance, however, is that once a scheduled session has started it drops off the schedule.
It would be nice if the vugraph schedule didn't drop sessions off until about, say, 3 hours after the advertised starting time.

It used to drop off immediately afterwards, right enough, but I know that Gerardo has changed it to 1½ hours after that particular session has started. It's trivial to make corrections I am told. 3 hours really needed though?

Most BBO vugraph sessions are 16 boards, which can take anything from 2 hours to 2.5 hours. With a few 20+ board sessions floating around, 3 hours should ensure that most sessions in-progress remain in the schedule until they are over.
Further "bells & whistles" would be for a session that is in-progress to be notated as such by being a different colour and/or flashing.

Agree that it's a good idea !

For the Norwegian Club championships only the single matches were shown (32 boards) so it did not say when the second half would start. Perhaps for matches with 2 halves perhaps try to make seperate entries even if the starting time might not be 100% accurate.

3 hours seems a bit too much to me? But really depends on session length.
Also, a "Running" mark would mean "Should be running according to schedule" instead of "Really running"

On several occasions have Fred and I underlined that all sessions starting times are approximate. We can not and will not guarantee that all sessions start on schedule (they rarely do), and we can't even promise that the broadcasts will happen at all.
We have seen that a few times recently, and that is obviously beyond the control and responsibility of BBO.
