Hello world, I dont get the clue how to define the hands. If I change the general approuche: dealer and points for N/S that doesnt work neither when I define more exact deals. I cant change the point for each of the players, it is changed for all players. Is there a "save" button I overlook? Not much help needed, if I could define the points that would be enough. Merci d'avance Uli

;) I have worked at the same problem for hours. But luckily I have two computers, so I can upload deals as it was explained. Thx too

what can I say? indeed, it does :) blind as playing bridge, thx

I changed my first post :blink:; this is only that it can be seen there is a change :(

Dear Fred, ok, FD is uploaded. When I go to my profile and choose CC I can see on the left side (Flash) my personal CCs. If I "edit" a FD-File there is NO option to delete. Only if I have a normal CC I can choose this option from the bottom. Clicking on a FD-File opens a window in grey/blue. I am not concerened about deleting something from my harddrive; I am used to use a computer. My Question: Can I delete FDs using Flash? Thx, Uli (extrasolid)

Hi, I joined a BBOland-Tourney and played 4♠ from South. 8 tricks in the bag and leading the ♥A time was over. North ♠T ♥A8 ♦T West East ♠A ♥T ♥J9 ♦J9 ♣K ♣T South ♠Q ♣J98 Discarding club, ruffing ♦ and it´s made at least. Adjustment 4♠-1! TDs make mistakes, but even after an explanation he says "skore is ok". I wanted to know now, who BBOland is, because I pay money to play their tourneys and expect to get an experianced player as TD. There is no hint on their homepage (BBOland.com) who they are and no link to nothing but Bridgebase Onlne. Even the "Related links" button doesnt link anything. Does anybody know how I can get messages to them? Is there any quality check by BBO? Or do we have to care for ourselfs? If so, be careful! extrasolid

Same problem for me, only giving the BBOTV link to a friend :)! The problem is, this doesnt happen every time; sometimes only the names get blue from the third letter and the first two letters of the new message (of all messages) are blue; rest is normal. Uli

Hello, I like BBOTV very much and use it always watching viegraph and sometimes to play bridge, too. Now a friend of mine remarked, there is a lot of chaos on his screen when I use german umlaute: ä ö ü ß. On my screen anything works well. If we chat from the old client to old client there is no problem. I dont know if it occurs from TV to TV. Uli

;) What a nice idea. Everything which can be used until now works fine. Of course there is much to do. As far as I can see nobody mentioned the missing sound! I will have a look now and then and hope, "BBOTV" grows up fast. Good luck Fred and Uday extrasolid

:) what are MACs?

Hello, I would like to answer Mink. No, it is not the same to make someone green or someone brown. Deep in my heart I think, the glass is half-full and human beeing is good. So lets choose a supporting, positive approuch. I would like to see few people green and a lot of blue PLUS the system currently used. If you need, lets say 1000 hands to get a green nick, you will rarely see one of them and think: "oh, there´s a nice player". It´s ment as award. And - to some other answers - I dont think it exists a behaviour we should accept "online" that we do not accept "at the table". Uli

My goal is, to get a positive answer on tablehopping, not discussing, if the current system works or which drawbacks there are. I teach some things - not Bridge, of course - and often work with people in teams. Experience shows, that it is much easier to motivate others to do what you want, if you show the advantages as e. g. a green nick! As I said before, I dont want to destroy the spirit of BBO and my suggestion should not lead to blackmailing others. So the hurdle to overcome to get a green nick should be high enough. I can draw the conclusion from the posts so far, that the readers, and players, want something else, because they discuss the current system. Thats ok, that´s not the theme of my thread. Uli

Hi all, during the last weeks I have got the concrete and strong feeling, that more and more people leave during bidding and play. Not only if I play with my standardP (4cM, strong club with a lot of canapé). We are used to opps, that are not familiar with such a system and leave when they want to. Not nice, but we can stand it. But yesterday I played with two different P, one time an usual 2/1 approach, one time "better minor". 5 opponents came, had a bad result or only problems with his/her P, because he opened a solid 5c card suit as weak2 in third hand and during bidding of the second board after some passing they went away. I accused 3 of them to abuse@bridgebase and learned, that BBO takes care of the problem. The leaving people get logged, get in the future a warning and in the distant future may be something happens, so theay have to use another nick. Not too sure, that this approach works. I propose to choose a positive register to show the good guys without blackmarking the bad ones! In the kindergarden and the first classes we got bees (chop) on our hands for good work! Why not logging the good guys too and show the nick the greener the more deals are played to the end. So you can see after some time that guys, that never leave - as me! -, that, who leave really on rare occasions and the rest, who is shown in equal color, so nobody can be taunted. Somebody of the BBOteam surely plays chess on playchess.com (chessbase, Fritz, Junior). There you can evaluate your opp as kind or nasty and his behaviour as well or bad. I dont want as much information. You can think about a lot of criteria as alerting, explaining or something like that. It seems sufficient to make visible, who stays until the end of the board. May be better, who stays for at least 3 deals or something like this. Tablehopping is annoyng. Uli (extrasolid)

Thx a lot, good to know. Then I will delete 1 of them and save it in another file. For better days. Uli

Hi folks, defining the defensive bidding seems to be difficult. I made the first steps and see 1♣ from the opps. Now I can define all our bids as if we opened. So far, so well. But now we have different systems against 1♣ depending on the meaning of 1♣. So I just included our defence against qualifier: 1. "natural or polish!C" X... = t/o 1♦....=4+♥s .... 2. "strong club" X... =4cM+5cm 1♦ = onesuiter in a major ... "qualifier" is a form you can fill out to define the hands where the conventions occur (I think). Its only a textbox so I am not sure about this. The "help"-button in the menubar is still grey. Can anyone help if I am wrong? If I check "defensive bidding" in the file I now see this as explanation after clicking on 1♣ (strong, written in blue letters) [DBL]strong(written in blue) 4cM5cm [1♦]strong(written in blue) onesuiter in a major .... If I choose 1♣ ("natural" oder polish♣, writtel in blue letters, too) the definitions appear accordingly. Supposed nothing went wrong during the last steps: How can I choose during bidding, what alert should be shown to the opps? I opened a teaching table to see if it works properly but there was no "alert" to see for any bis of 1♣. It happens nothing when I go with my mouse over the bidding table. All boxes "show...." do have their checkmark! What is the reason? Uli
