| Swiss Teams Playing and Joining Instructions |
All
Thank you for entering the online HIW GP Teams event.
Number of teams and link for joining are currently TBC.
If this doesn’t work then copy and paste the link into your browser.
(This link will not be active until Sunday.)
When asked to log in, just enter your name as it appears in the EBU database,
and put your EBU# in as 'Number', then press login. (no “password”).
If you have issues logging-in please e-mail me, or call on 01730 265 496.
Once in the “lobby” you will see the tables labelled with Captains' names.– just pick an appropriate seat.
At the start of each round please provide a brief synopsis of your system to your opponents.
You might want to use the facility in MYEBU for Convention Cards.
I think most people are very familiar with RealBridge now.
Bidding and playing is intuitive and if there's a problem call the Director: button towards the bottom right of the screen.
Directors on Saturday will be Sarah Amos and Ian Mitchell
The event is set up for Partner-Alerting, just like F2F bridge.
A reminder that if your video/audio freezes or cracks up, click the refresh button (two arrows) on your control bar. Also an “eye-shape” to switch off other player videos if your broadbandwidth is low. It is a good idea to periodically refresh even if you are not having problems.
We will be allowing “undo” for genuine mis-clicks in the bidding but not in the play.
If you are using a touch pad/screen consider setting 'two taps' via the tools button (round gearwheel, bottom right). You can set your bids and plays to two separate taps (one tap on the card or bid, confirmatory tap on the lower part of the table; click elsewhere on your hand to cancel the bid/play and start again)
The scores are available after each board by clicking the Scores button.
One note of caution.
If you are using an iPad please make sure it is fully charged before playing. And keep it on-charge if possible. Playing on RealBridge is like watching four movies simultaneously - it uses a lot of power. The rate of recharge on iPads (tablets and smart phones) can be less than this demand so the device will stop working.

Stay Safe & Enjoy you Bridge
