9.6 Hand of the week

The "Hand of the Week" feature allows you to select a hand from a recent "Results" and either set a test on how to bid or play the hand, or just explain the best line. If you upload a deal file with a "Results", you can simply select the hand from the "Results".

  1. Enter the Bidding
  2. Hide particular players cards
  3. Then a [Show All Hands] button will show
  4. If you also enter [Answer] text, an [Answer] button will be added and the user can click to see.

Sign into Administration and click on [News] and view item. Now using the display select where you want the hand to appear (maybe on the home page or perhaps under [News]). Then click [Add Hand].  You can then select the hand you want from a previous deal. Click |OK to save the hand and then [Edit Hand] to enter suggested bidding at the start of the auction Click OK to save the hand and bidding and then b to describe the problem you want to set. Save this and then click [Answer] to provide the solution to the problem. This will remain hidden until the viewer clicks on [Answer]. Click [Save] again and you are done.

You will then see something like below.

Now click on [Edit Hand] and this will open up a pop-up window looking something like below.

Alternatively, if you are entering the hand manually click on [Edit Hand] and then select the cards for each hand

You can now

  • Select the cards for each hand. It will automatically move to the next player after 13 have been picked.
  • Set the Vulnerability
  • Set the Dealer
  • Then enter the Bidding Sequence
  • If this is a Quiz, select which hands to hide.
  • Click on [OK] and it will return to the "News Item"
  • Now enter your comments in the usual Editor
  • and finally click [Save].

If you want to delete the "Hand" at any time from the "News Item" click [Delete Hand], this just deletes the hand, not the comments. Or you can delete the whole article with [Delete]
