Often subs lose track of whether they are in an Indy, Pairs, or Team event. It only shows on the invite, and if they take time to read it, they may be too late. BBO should display on the tabletop, bottom left, near the Round info, whether the tourney is Indy, Pairs or Team

The tournament name includes this information, and it's in the browser window/tab name.

It's not as easy to find as if it were displayed somewhere on the table itself, but it's also not something you need to keep consulting, so it's not clear that we should waste valuable screen space on it.

Have you looked at the tabs? They show the tourney number, host, table#, section#, and then tourney number(repeated) then pairs/indy/team, then tourney name.
Usually only the tourney number and host are visible.

If you expect people to use the tab/window title, put the important info first so we can easily see it!

But you do have lots of room on the table for this in the left hand corner - are you planning to use this for adverts or something?
