Reserve seats

2. To reserve after you have been seated, click a direction and then Reserve. Enter the player’s name and click OK.

This is discouraged because you must type the name exactly as used on BBO or the person cannot sit. But sometimes, partners or opponents have trouble getting to the table and require a reservation (which sends an invitation for them to join the table.) There are two ways to reserve seats for partner or opponents: when setting the table or after you are seated at the table.

1. When setting a table, you can reserve any seat by clicking on the direction. This will bring up a dialog box where you enter the player’s name. When you click OK, the seat will turn red and show the reservation with the player’s name.

2. Locate table based on host. Click Sit on any empty seat.
