In automated tourneys without director you can't table chat but you should be able to chat to opps. For example, I am not sure how else to tell them what kind of leads and carding we play.

Guess what i discovered
When you play with a regular partner your CC is still set to GIB 2/1
so not only can you not tell opponents you are playing weak NTs or your carding they cant even check your CC

also, if you alert a bid it is NOT visible to opponents

Go into your account under convention cards and pick you + partner's card. Then verify.

The alert function in red should be used to self=alert- let someone know if it is not working.

It just doesnt work in BBOfest and the free individuals limited to 40 people
It is a feature of BBO not a bug
They know about it

Is that true? Actually you are probably right, I don't recall ever having seen an alert.

Maybe that explains why we do so well playing Moscito. Opps think we play 2/1. Just kidding.

But it's fairly ridiculous. When you join the tournament you are encouraged to alert your bids.
