Hi, We've recently set up a Virtual Club through the EBU/BBO route. I've been looking at the various ways that are available to run a bridge session for our newer club members and students. I have uploaded and used saved deals for teaching tables and Team Games. However, for a number of reasons I think the Tournament route would be most suitable. These include that I could run the session for any number of people (rather than in multiples of 4 for teaching tables or 8 for Team games) and by charging for the Tournament could collect money for our club, as well as BBO and the EBU. Advice online varies regarding whether it is possible to used saved hands for a Tournament. See https://blog.bridgebase.com/2020/04/02/the-virtual-club-manager-manual/ The Virtual Club Manager Manual by Diana | Posted on April 2, 2020 which says If using prepared deals for your games, make sure to verify the folder of deals before uploading. A corrupted folder of deals can cause your tournament to be cancelled at start. Click here for a guide on how to upload prepared deals to your Deal Archive.

Please does anyone have experience of whether using saved deals for a Tournament currently works, or is likely to crash?
