...up and leaves the table, their partner switches seats so that he/she can be the declarer.
How does one switch seats?

This is not allowed in a serious game. In a social game you can do what you like.

You asked the question in forum labeled (in two places) "not BBO-related". So it seemed like you were asking about bridge in general, not BBO.

You can switch seats by clicking on your partner's compass direction.

You don't..... In a virtual tourney the TD provides a substitute. In a real time tournament the solo player is forced to withdraw
and the TD arranges an alternative movement. (I've actually seen this happen). The player who abandoned the tournament
will face disciplinary action by the club committtee...most likely banned from the club for life

Bridge is a game where you have two opponents...and often three(!)

A life ban seems exaggerated to me. We would leave it up to the disciplinary section of our national federation who would probably impose a few months ban for a first serious offence.
