| Duplicate Sessions on BBO |
Derek is running pairs' duplicate sessions on BBO on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with everybody playing the same hands and the results appearing on the website with full traveller and board display, Play it again, Results Analysis, BBO bidding and play data. Master points are awarded, but not NGS at present.
Everyone is welcome, but registration is necessary. Tell Derek in advance that you are coming, give him your name, BBO username and email address. On the day, you need to enter yourselves as a pair for the event in the 2 hours before it starts.
The cost of entry is $3 (around £2.50), and you have to pre-purchase your $BB on the BBO website. Additional table money of £1 is also payable directly to Derek. His account details are shown in the Member Area - see member Table Money. Preferably transfer money in a batch for several sessions, to avoid numerous small transfers.

| Play It Again |
 Have you ever tried the hand replay facility on this website? Just above every traveller and below the hand diagram there is a 'Play it Again' button. This starts Bridge Solver Online (BSOL) which lets you do this. Full details on using BSOL to "play" a hand in double dummy mode is available in this user guide, which has been written by Rees Mitchell for the website users at Vanderbilt Bridge Club, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

| Announce or Alert? |
We have all got used to 'announcing' the range of partners opening bid of 1NT. You might be less sure about 2NT: Opening bid of 2NT is announced "20 to 22" or appropriate range. Stayman (4 card) and transfers are announced the same way as after 1NT. 5-card stayman is alerted. All this is summarised in the EBU Announcing and Alerting table.
