you hold: [hv=d=s&v=n&s=sa5hkq42dkt75cat6]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] and open 1NT partner replies 2♣ (presumably some non-GF stayman) RHO interferes with 2♠ (natural) rebid?

someone should make this into a movie :rolleyes:

has anyone considered starting up a TD union? obviously fred & uday (and the bbo staff in general) do not have the time to worry themselves with something like this, so why not take it on ourselves. form a union of TDs who either have some type of previous actual accreditation for directing, or have passed something put together by the union itself, specifically geared towards online directing. having a mass of TDs that are known to be versed in the laws and can be relied upon to not make calls of this nature will attract players to tournaments run by a union accredited director. the usual laws of supply & demand take over from there.

regardless of what country(ies) i filter, there are two or three tables (currently empty) that continue to appear in the list. this also happens if i select to view 0 countries (all other filters left at default) tables are: crisalu and krata i cannot replicate the star player bug - does that filter include tables that a star player is kibitzing at perhaps?

tournaments shouldn't be allowing undos, period.

i probably wouldn't open this as dealer, but assuming i did, i will raise to 3♦ and pass any non-forcing bids

ok below is what they gave me - hope it makes sense to you! Open sources/lib/post_parser.php Find: var $allow_unicode = 1; Add Below: var $auc_values = array(); Find: $txt = preg_replace( "#\[code\](.+?)\[/code\]#ies", "\$this->regex_code_tag('\\1')", $txt ); Add Below: //--------------------------------- // Take a bash at [AUCTION] //--------------------------------- $txt = preg_replace( "#\[auction=(.+?)\]#ies", "\$this->regex_auction('\\1')", $txt ); Find: $txt = preg_replace( "#<!--QuoteEnd-->(.+?)<!--QuoteEEnd-->#" , '[/QUOTE]' , $txt ); Add Below: //Auction $txt = preg_replace ("#<!--AucStart-->(.+?)<!--AucEnd-->#ies","\$this->unconvert_auc('\\1')",$txt); Find: return '[HTML]'.$html.'[/HTML]'; } Add Below: function unconvert_auc($text="") { $this->auc_values=array(); $text=preg_replace("/<!--AucValue:(.+?)-->/ies","\$this->auc_value('\\1')",$text); return "[AUCTION=".implode(",",$this->auc_values)."]"; } function auc_value($val) { $this->auc_values[]=$val; return ''; } Find: return "<!--html-->{$wrap['START']}<!--html1-->$html<!--html2-->{$wrap['END']}<!--html3-->"; } Add Below: /**************************************************/ // regex_auction: Auction Tag // /**************************************************/ function regex_auction($data="") { $array_data=explode(",",$data); $return='<!--AucStart--><table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center" bordercolor="#111111" width="250" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">N</th><th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">W</th><th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">S</th><th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">E</th></tr>'; $inrow=0; $dofirst=0; for($i=0;isset($array_data[$i]);$i++) { if ($inrow == 4) { $inrow=0; } if($inrow == 0) { if($dofirst) { $return.="</tr>"; } $dofirst=1; $return.="<tr>"; } $return.=" <td bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><!--AucValue:{$array_data[$i]}-->{$array_data[$i]}</td>"; $inrow++; } $return.="</tr></table><!--AucEnd-->"; return $return; } Save & upload. P.S. You just use [auction=1,2,3,4] etc, there is no [/auction] needed.

yes, i suppose you would. but i submit that the usefulness of being able to post clean sensible auctions without having to use a series of ....... or spaces to line everything up will outweigh the unsightliness of the BB code in the eyes of the forum majority. i understand your work here is voluntary, Ger, so please don't think i'm unappreciative or anything :) in fact, i may actually have someone that can whip up the actual code additions to post_parse.php (i think that's what it's called from what i recall of my research) if they pull through i should know before the end of the weekend and provide you the code :D

well i assumed you write one of them fancy popup forms so we'd never actually see that bit :) also 40's just a # i through out there, it might not be the best suited.

that's why you have it always write out 40 table cells - with the design i've outlined if the cells are blank (ie the unused cells after 3 passes) the cells aren't visible :)

i think i have a way to make a functional [auction][/auction] tag & display, but i'm not entirely sure i'm on the right track as i've never worked with IPB directly. as i understand it, the BB codes are simply regex text replacements in the /sources/lib/post_parser.php file now, i don't pretend to know regex very well, either - but whoever wrote the current set of hand input scripts should be able to manage this. have the tag accept up to 40 (?) values (i know that it's possible to have almost 400 calls in an auction, but i think 40 covers any auctions we'll be posting...) ie. [auction=-,-,1H,1S,X,-,2C][/auction] have the replacement start with a static header: <table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center" bordercolor="#111111" width="250" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">N</th> <th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">W</th> <th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">S</th> <th width="25%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">E</th> </tr> then for each set of 4 values: <tr> <td bgcolor="#CCCCCC"></td> <td bgcolor="#CCCCCC"></td> <td bgcolor="#CCCCCC"></td> <td bgcolor="#CCCCCC"></td> </tr> filling in the values accordingly - null values left null so that unused rows aren't visible in the post. and then a simple </table> to finish it off. i can't think of a use for {content} but it could just put off to the side for comments like the current BB codes do already i guess.

no, i was referring to the only two hand types that a 1M bid might have

5332 and 5422 hands only (no two suiters and no singles/voids)

ok, seems 3♥ is pretty popular here would any of you change your opinion if you know for certain opener's ♥'s are only 4 long?

(ok, so it's not really a poll) partner deals; opps quiet [hv=d=n&v=b&s=s8ht753da84ckj765]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] 1♠* - 1NT** 2♥ - ??? * limited to 15 ** 8-10 what do you bid now?

in my limited experience (1 annual regional regularly, and 1 sectional once): a regional is usually 5-7 days long with 2 or 3 sessions per day. wide variety tournaments and timelines scheduled throughout taking anywhere from 1 to 4 sessions each (link above to schedule) a sectional is usually over a weekend with 2 sessions per day. various tournaments on one timeline usually 1 or 2 at most sessions each

i could (and should, just ask my p) read lead quizzes all day - more please!

1♥

1) overcall 2) pass 3) 4♥; feeling like i wish partner was declaring :) 4) impartial; pass 6) ♠2 (but i'm a notriously poor leader)

any chance there's a tutorial online that teaches everything a certified TD would know, but doesn't actually provide certification? i would gladly host BBO tourneys but have never bothered simply because i've never TD'd and my familiarity with the laws is minimal at best.

the bar has been set.

touche ;)

but precision, moscito & polish are not "sayc and 2/1 discussion" :rolleyes:

i make a it a personal goal to never psych in a tournament on bbo where i don't know from personal experience that the TD will rule correctly should he be forced to do so. that rules alot of the tourneys here. did you have the right to psyche? yes should you be surprised that it was ruled poorly? i don't think so
