Maybe I'm dumb, but how can I tell which registered players are not online (or in casual)
A) shortly before the tournament is due to start?
and
B) if the tourament is delayed by +allavail+ ?

thanks

Peter.

A message appears on my screen giving both players names. I usually send a chat message to tournament naming both players, or if I wish I can press the who is online tab and see the player(s) not online. After about a minute with no response I just delete the allavail string to start the tournament.

Just to be clear, the message only appears on your screen if you are logged in as the tournament host (the userid that initially set up the tournament, a Vxxxyyyyyy userid for virtual clubs). The message appears at the bottom right of your screen, then disappears again on its own, similar to the 'tournament has been modified' and 'score has been adjusted' messages that you also need to watch out for at appropriate times.

If the “score has been adjusted” message disappears quickly then the software has intervened and adjusted the score, therefore, no need for me to be bothered about it, unless a player believes it incorrect. It will remain on the screen until the director manually adjusts.

You are referring to the message in the TD calls list, saying adjustment required, which as you say disappears if the robot automatically adjusts the score on the board.

I was referring to the message that appears briefly on your screen when you have successfully manually adjusted a board. I find it very useful to check that my adjustment has been taken, because (at least using the V3 interface via 'players results') the players results that you then see on the screen does not reflect the adjustment - you need to close and re-open the players scores in order to see the updated score, and I prefer not to have to do this.
