Hand of the Week 16th September |
Show Detail |
A simple choice this week, board 11, with only one pair finding one of the two slams available in the minor suits, albeit, with only 23 points between them and missing an Ace and two Kings, perhaps not easy to bid, the 6 Diamonds would have been easier to play than 6 Clubs; well done to Robert and Jacqui

FREE ONLINE INFORMAL TEAMS |
PLEASE LET MARY KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY ON WEDNESDAY 25tH SEPTEMBER.
WE HAVE A FEW REGULARS UNAVAILABLE THIS WEEK SO WE MIGHT STRUGGLE TO FILL TWO GROUPS.
Log in to BBO by 7:10pm and wait in the Lobby
Please do not wander off into other areas as you may become invisible to the organiser.
Please check and accept the invitation to play as soon as possible. Multiple invitations may be issued if someone does not accept in time.
Play will usually start around 7:15pm, but may be earlier if everyone is ready.
Explaining bids
If you do not understand an opponent's bid, or want further explanation, simply click on the bid. They will receive a pop-up box, where they can explain what their bid means. This is not visible to their partner, only to you and your partner (so no additional information is passed between them).
If you are asked to explain your bid, please do so promptly using the pop-up box, not in the table chat (as the chat can be seen by all players).
Online play with BBO uses Self-alerting
Before you bid, if your bid is not a natural bid, enter the meaning of your bid in the message box, and click the alert button.
This is not visible to your partner (who should already know what your bid means), only the opponents.
Using Undos
During bidding, if you genuinely mis-click a bid, you can immediately request an undo, which should normally be granted by your opponents.
Undos are not normally allowed during card play, so be careful when playing.
