why is there such a lag time, is it dependent on the browser, the OS, or just BBO in general.
You can try and log on to a tourney with spaces open and minute showing but it say error,
or you can wait for a BBO indy to be posted and when it shows up with 9 minutes till game time its all ready filled up.
I have noticed this several times in the past few months.


question....does one have to keep hitting refresh or back out of the listing box to start over again.
you tell me its your site??

At peak times (even if like now there are 'only' 28K people which is barely half the server capacity) the BBO free automatic individual games are scheduled well below actual demand and they fill up in seconds. To add a little insult to injury they will still permit you to attempt registration, even when the tourney is already full or is no longer full but already closed.

yes i understand all this, I have been into computers and internet related things for 30 yrs.
We live in Northern California not that far from Las Vegas, is that where their servers are?if
not the servers must be in Turkey cause the majority of people who get logged into a game even before it
appears on my browsers are from there!
just my observation

or the servers are all routed through Europe first

Alas they are not routed through Europe first or I would be able to play a TCR90 myself right now.
The Turks are extremely smart bridge players and no doubt have a better strategy for these things too
