Sometimes people are intentionally slow in a tournament and you may not finish a board. We then get an average which prevents them from getting a negative board. Is there a solution? Also, during regular play, the host sometimes is allowed a lot of time to make a call. Why isn't the time allowed before removal standard?

I think that also in the normal tables there are some people that are chating with skipe. Distrust by pair from the same nation that play slow.

Director can award a penalty for slow play. To the extent the director can determine which pair is responsible for slow play.

If a board isn't finished, the system automatically assigns average, but the TD is notified. They're supposed to assign the result that looks likely, so you shouldn't be able to use this method to escape a bad result.

They can do that IRL, not on BBO.
