I want declarer's hand always at botton robot tournaments

I don't understand why the ipad app and the web interface behave differently: the iPad forces the table to rotate whenever my robot pard is declarer. The web interface, however, forces the declarer hand to stay at the top of the screen. It is confusing!

I don't mind changing seats with my bot partner when it ends up declaring, as I strongly prefer to always have dummy at top and declarer at bottom. Other people differ.

What about allowing the user to choose in both the app and the web interface? I am sure your coders can implement that with their eyes closed...

thanks

So many wonderful things could be done if BBO were willing to let their users make choices!

Yes they are a bit anal about cluttering the interface with such inconvenient things as features :)

I use the mobile app every day (on Kindle Fire rather than iPad, but there shouldn't be a difference). It's just like the web app: the hands don't rotate.
