When TDing & I have to choose a replacement, I usually try to find someone who will be able to speak with their new partner.
One way to do this is to choose the same country. (Yes, Switzerland has 3 languages and India has 1024...)
Could BBO not automate this in Substitute-Any or in the list for Substitute-select?

Or even better, let players indicate which languages they speak by checkboxes on a profile tab and sort by language and failing a match, from the same language family.

Or they could simply code in a filter which lets the player/substitute choose from a list of regions and/or types of games they are willing to sub in. That would cure most ills immediately.

It is absurd that BBO doesn't give substitutes any discretion at all (besides a decline option and being booted from the sub list) with regard to which regions or types of games they are willing to sub in.
