Team games starting at unfair numbers

Suggestion

Every game should only start if there are no players left out of a team.

Formula

x = player count
y = players per team
z = max players

If [ x = z ]

—— then start game

—— else if [ ( x / y ) = ( round ( x / y ) ) ]

———— then wait to start game

———— else start waiting to start game

don’t mind my wacky formatting

Why

If it’s a team game, everyone should be part of a full team. If it’s a team game, everyone should be part of a full team.

Don’t lock this is a suggestion for all games not just bridge
Also note you still need a minimum players variable, of course.

Though I get your reasoning here, players leave games all the time. Ensuring that there is always an even number of players isn’t possible.
