UPDATE: Round 3 was cancelled due to technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We will update the results based on Rounds 1 and 2, then proceed with the final phase tomorrow.
This is an experimental format. We apologize for the various problems. On the positive side of things, we have learned a lot about what is still missing and got to test some new software.
Thank you very much for taking part in our experimental Rainbow Teams, and keep an eye on the news to find out who qualified for the Finals.
Round 3 starts with one hour delay. Please stay tuned, if possible with all your team members, as our lineups were most likely not updated with all the recent changes.
Round 2 started with a delay on BBO’s side (too much data to process from Round 1, which in turn caused multiple pairs to withdraw. Sorry all, please consider this an experiment 🙂 Next time we will know what not to do!
Lots of teams did not start.

Can we add a 5th player to our team
what is wrong with the rainbow tournament?
The 4 designated players were online at start of 1st session, and now you write, that we were not. so we lost the match
Our player NikosV, uppon asking why we did not start play on first round, received a message from you (Diana Today BBO TD), stating that we won first round because opponents did not show.
So, please let us know, if we are still in the game
Hi Alikit, I posted the errors we saw when the matches were created. We tried for 20 minutes, then stopped, and assigned penalties. One of your players was not online when we attempted to start the round (and we attempted many times).
You can still play Round 2, assuming your team is present!
what is going on??? we were waiting and waiting, not a word from anyone. i sent several messages to BBOTD but she ignored me completely. Capitan of the SKY team told me what was going on and at the end of the round one it says that we won and they lost !!! we didn’t play at all.
btw our team, # 166 , is not even listed on this page!!!
we r waiting(4 Aces-BD)
Why Terminators were penaltied. It’s not fair. We had 5 people online Szerchan, obiad2, adasko_t, jcvandamme, Anzelmoa.
We are waiting for the second round. Any news?
Team stelios kozis: We were registered, we were online, we did not play first round, we were informed that our opps did not show, then we saw that we lost the match because we were not online! We dont knowif we play round 2. What is really happening here????
We, team 23 are waiting for the 2nd round. Are we knocked out?
Has the 2nd round started?

Our team is online and waiting its now 45 mins since scheduled start of round 2
Is round 2 going to take place or not????
If we lose 1first match we are out?
Pl update on R2 start
Round 2 has started but our team (AAA) hasn’t been called in, all 4 players are online
The least they can do is to make some announcement.
How do you know if rd 2 has started?
Still here
This is beyond being ridiculous! Not sure other teams, our team sitting here for more than one hours, 15 min priori to 9:45am game, game never started, organizer doesn’t announce anything. What’s going on??? Can organizer please just give a line of explanation and what we should do?
terrrrible! she just sent an email, did you get it?
Oh dear loads of stuff to work on….Information was poor & I am sure frustrating to organisers for being bombarded by people with . That needed answers…Being on line in time with the knowledge that it is automated & u will be placed in a seat..Important to know When the next round will be played ie the state of play 10mins after or 30min break..change to SUB was not entirely understood…We waited on line for over an Hour in ignorance
Emily Tm93
This did not work well. I waited for a long time online, told organizers were having trouble getting all the teams seated. So first round did not work out. Then second round did not work out, also after a long wait. This was not fun.
Pls update on Rd 3 timing. Sleepy in GMT + 5:30 here.
Our friends on Team Phyllis Coehlo are confused, they have not had a match yet after round 2, and have been staring at a blank screen for over 3 hours. I see they won by default round 1, but no updates after that. Emails not being sent to team captain either.
Time of 3rd round?
This is hopeless. Our opponents defaulted first round. Not sure what went wrong with the second round, but no indication from the (dis)organizers. We may play 3rd round. The message board still says that round 1 is playing.
Will the 3rd round will start ?
??can team jean80301 play 2nd rnd???
This event is horribly run – we could not play the 2nd match because
one of our teammates loss the internet and could not get on and when he did no one replied to our texts.
We were ready to play the 3rd round and we were not admitted to play. What is going on? A hopeless demonstration of incompetence.
Truly a terribly run event
Dinner and football on TV 🙁
Not BBO greatest moment
Really a bad organization by BBO. Intentions are very good, but application is quite poor. Our team was unable to play in the 2nd match, although all our players were ready. And I see that our captain’s name was indicated as offline at 2nd match, although he was not included in the 2nd match’s line-up. Probably another system error (and hopefully which will not cost us 12 VP) ? Lots of waiting tonight………
really this is extreme delay
It would be very helpful to have a team option where the team name is entered like private communication. That would allow all team members to communicate before and after the rounds. Just an idea.
This whole tournament should be cancelled and restarted. It is TOTALLY unfair to those of us who were here waiting and never got put into Round 2 and now aren’t in Round 3 either. BBO you can’t do this to people and not expect push back..
3 round did start?
We totally agreed that it is not fair for the teams who have waited and never got chance to play. Also, the organizers of this match should be banned from organizing this level of team games until they got fully trained!
When does round 3 start? We’re here waiting again!!
Round 3 cancelled but what about Sunday? Is it cancelled or not?
If you are in charge of this, you need to know that it is REALLY horrible when we show up at 8 AM PDT to play and we get to play one round and then get screwed out of round 2 (even though we were all there ready to play) and now out of round 3. You should CHARGE A FEE and then make sure you have the right people to run it so that it doesn’t get screwed up. I would be happy to pay for the game if it ran right. Wasting 5 hours of my time on Saturday does not make me fonder of BBO. 🙁
We should be given the same score we got in Round 1 for Round 2 since we didn’t have an opportunity to play for it.. Or you should open up the Sunday game to 64 or even all 128 teams left and move the finals to Monday evening or something like that.
Sorry, I am just frustrated and you guys need to say something about why it happened and how you plan to compensate..
Thanks,
Jon Rosen (bleurose51)
why stopped in 3rd round?
Your scoring on your website is screwy. For starters you rank two teams with negative IMPS in first and second place. Then you rank Team Hendrick, my team in 102nd place with only 15 IMPS, our score in round 2, when we also scored 12 IMPS in round one when the other team forfeited. We should have 27 total Imps, putting us around 20th place if your other scores are even close to accurate.
Those results are provisional, as the disclaimer at the top says. Well update soon with the final results.
Why wasn’t my team seated for round 2? Director replied there was technical issues and we sat for 45 minutes and never heard a word. Why?
My team is 6 person,(1over1)
I was email to bbotd7 to change couple,affter round 1 done,
Xaadr123 offline is wright.
Couse change with me and my partner,
May next tournament better.
Thankyou
