The code shoul be something like: printf ("qx|o"%d"|md|%d", board+1, (board+2)%4+1); for (player=COMPASS_NORTH; player<=COMPASS_WEST; player++) { for (suit = SUIT_SPADE; suit>= SUIT_CLUB; suit--) { printf ("SHDC"[suit]); for (rank=12; rank >= 0; rank--) { if (HAS_CARD(d, player, MAKECARD(suit,rank))) { printf ("%c", representation[rank]); } } } if (player < COMPASS_WEST) {printf (",");} } printf ("\n"); (didnt test, dont have a C compiler handy)

One suggestion: add a printlin function (this should probably in the dealer program) yvan

There isn't an option to change the language. You can start it with a language you specify by visiting http://www.bridgebase.com/client/client.php?lang=fr http://www.bridgebase.com/client/client.php?lang=ja etc. The currently supported langs are bg cs da de el en es fi fr he hr hu is it ja nl no pl pt ro ru sv tr zh-CN zh-TW list of lang codes here, if you care. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes Thx but, 1) I didnt find anything about the ?lang option in the help files. 2) maybe it would be easyer to have it in the options menu, like it is in winbbo (options->general->language) yvan

assuming there was MI law 75 leads to law 12: law 12 C 1 (e) (i) The score assigned in place of the actual score for a nonoffending side is the most favourable result that was likely had the irregularity not occurred. (ii) For an offending side the score assigned is the most unfavourable result that was at all probable. (http://www.worldbridge.org/departments/laws/2007LawsComplete.pdf) is 6H= "likely" ? maybe is 6H= "at all probable" ? yes

2/3 languages at the same table looks ok for me. ie germany-china = english + german + chinese

unsporting ? more sporting to give-up after 80 boards than after 88 ? anybody blames norway ?

Congrats Michael for your great performance in Beijing yvan

and what stat by pair would you suggest they put their faith in then? I think trying to use stats for things they cannot be used for is stupid. If you were to say to me: One pair had a butler of +1, the other of -1, over hundreds of boards. I would say it is safe to draw the conclusion that the +1 pair is playing better than the -1 pair. If you were to say to me 3 pairs had butlers within .1 imp of each other over a couple of hundred boards, I would say that saying those pairs are all playing roughly equally well is dumb. Some pairs play mainly against weak pairs strategically (perhaps they have a more active style, or stranger methods). This favors that pair. Often the weakest pair on a team will be in against the weaker teams while the strongest pair takes a breather. This hurts the strongest pair on the teams butler a lot, and helps the weaker pairs butler. Dont think many teams make the lineup after looking at opps lineup. (Can be between teams that often meet, like USA-Itay or Italy-Norway)

Not sure if this thread is really in the right part of the forums, but now, the title of the the thread (Congrats Norway ...) has clearly no connection with its content.

No more squeeze after spade lead, club back. But the recording may be faulty. If it was spade A, spade, then it is easy (cash D's, club A, last S). http://www.bridgefederation.ch/2007/bb/vugraph/F8A.PHP
