Hi We play a regular teams match on bbo. Yesterday one player could only play 15 minutes after everyone else was ready.. Instead of holding up the event is it possible to start with a robot and then replace the robot when the player logs in Thanks

Please could the experts help with a system for coping with weak 2 bids after a 1c (16+) opener So 1c (2H) should responder pass with less than 7 points or is there a system where responder can compete with a stopper in the suit or without a stopper in their suit

We play Kokish relays in a big club system in order to show ranges of no trumps My questions is this is the bidding goes 1♣ p 1♦(0/7) Double Would 1♥ by opener be Kokish forcing 1♠ or would it be natural showing hearts Thanks

Please can the experts help.... bidding goes 2♥2♠3♥double ... is this a penalty double????

Please can someone explain what the ruling should be in the following situation. Opponents are in 3NT and when declarer plays his 11th card he realizes there are only 2 cards in dummy instead of 3. He already has 9 tricks and the Ace of Spades in his hand and says "oh dear there are only 2 cards in dummy so I will claim 1 more trick" which he does and the claim of 10 tricks is accepted. Dummy then says "I must have overplayed" but then he stretches the 2 cards on the table and finds the third card which is the Queen of Clubs which would have been a trick. Declarer now states he would have made 12 tricks if he had seen the additional card on table and now wants to claim 12 trick stating that everyone at the table is responsible for ensuring dummy displays all 13 cards. So what happens now?

Hi I would like to know if this is legal at club level playing duplicate Opener bids 1NT (15-17) the next person doubles which is alerted as either Long Minor Both Majors or a strong hand I have looked in the Rule book but cannot find the answe Many thanks

Please can you help with the two following situations playing teams of four 1. The bidding goes 1h p 4h X... is this double for takeout or for penalty 2. the bidding goes 1h p 2h X 4h p p X.. is this double for takeout or for penalty Thanks

North ♠AQxxx ♥Ax ♦AJx ♣Qxx Playing 2/1 do you open 1NT or 1C planning on rebidding 2NT If you open the sequence 1NT bidding is easy ... partner having South ♠Kx ♥KQJx ♦Kxx ♣Axxx It would go 1NT 4NT 6NT but if you open 1S.. how would you suggest the bidding should go. Also when should you upgrade 17 points and a five card suit?

Hi I was kibitzing Bennito Garozzo (Sillafu) yesterday and he requested his partner to play "attitude leads". Please could someone explain exactly what this means.

My partner and I play power precision and 2/1. I have read the help on the convention card and still cannot get it to work Can someone tell me in simple terms exactly what I have to do. For example say I bid 1C (16+) the convention card gives possible replies - how does one finish the sequence. Also how do you name it, use it, save it etc. I find the help description on this topic impossible to understand. Thanks Sheila

I hope someone out there can help me. My partner and I play a variation of power precision and 2/1. In spite of going through the online help I cannot get a convention card. It would be appreciated if someone could give me a step by step instruction of how to do the convention card so tht one's bid are explained on the screen. I am not stupid - I find the explanation in the help impossible to follow Thanks so much Sheila

Please can some experts help me My partner and I play a big club system so our opening of a major can never be more than 15 points - is it worth using Jacoby 2nt in conjunction with this system and what is the point range of Jacoby 2nt Help is appreciated
