Two things...sorry Ben.

1> someone left and before I could sub him BBO cancelled the match. It takes a little time to move from the teams area to IAC and call for subs, but I only got one warning. Is this standard now? I've never had BBO cancel a match before. Is there any way to prevent it from happening again?

2) One match the first two boards did not register on either table, and one table the first three boards didn't register, they were completely blank in the movie as well, just as though they had not been played. That seemed very odd, but luckilly the score was sufficiently lopsided at the end that nobody complained, and the players didn't see at the time since the barometer wasn't enabled. Still, two hands could make a huge difference, especially since some of the swings were dramatic. Suggestions? I messaged UDay at the time but had no reply.

At least one of the three matches went off without anything weird happening.

This only happens if two players withdraw from the match, via Call TD > Withdraw. If they disconnect, but do not withdraw, the match is not cancelled.

Blank scoresheet means the results were ==
If you mean you couldn't see the boards at all, perhaps you were kibbing at a table where you had subbed someone in?

Nobody told me they were leaving, they just left. My notification via BBO was that I had one person missing. Only one person was missing, as far as I know. I had told them I was going to get a sub, and after the match had been cancelled I was trying to find out the nick of the person who had left...nobody said anything about two people leaving. They were certainly all there (well 7 of them were) when I left to get a sub, but admittedly half the time nobody actually pays any attention to what you tell them

No no subbing the boards were entirely blank, only showed the names of the people who had been sitting there, no cards, no scores, no =, no anything. I tried switching tables,leaving the tables and coming back, coming in with a different ID, and it made no difference at all. After the third hand everything was as usual.
