ALL SESSIONS
Thank you for entering the 9-High Pairs at the EBU Year End Congress. Please ensure you have at least BB$5 in your account before attempting to register. BB$ must be bought in advance - use the blue BB$ basket icon top right by your username.
It is essential that at the start of each round one member of the partnership sets out in 15 or 20 words a summary of your bidding system and carding. Something like 'Acol, Weak NT, 4-card Maj, 3 Weak twos reverse attitude, standard count, revolving discards'. If you type it out in the first round you can copy and paste it in subsequent rounds or you could use BBO's 'Chat Manager' to save it and send it each round. You need to do this even if you have a BBO convention card posted or details in your profile.
Then don't forget on BBO you explain your own calls not your partner's. BEFORE you make a call type an explanation on the line in the bidding box. You must do this for every call which would be announced or alerted face-to-face. Only your opponents will see your explanation. Don't explain your bids in table chat where your partner can see it.
