Catherine Set up a Tourney then when it says Tourney Number xxx is set up go back in and use Tournament Management In there find 'other functions' in the White box finf 'upload pre-set hands' Click on this then on Execute . now find your LIN file on your computer and click on it hope this helps

:D only one person so far has put the most common opener PASS :D

:D what constitutes a 'sensible' auction is 1NT p - 2♥-p - p - p a sensible auction The transfer to ♠ being passed played in a 2 - 1 fit making 8 tricks when opps holding 5 ♥ each decide not to double and trap Declarer Declarer then made 5 top outside tricks and 3 Ruffs for 8 Club level at every table from then on Calling director saying it is IMPOSSIBLE

:D a.n.other which works very well :D http://timer.bridgelife.net/BridgeTimer.air p.s morning Gordon

;) also the same problem playing pairs and swiss pairs unclocked you tend to play the same pair more than once Have actually played same pair 4 times. In a clocked Swiss Pairs we often get people playing same pair more than once. Just duno the answer <_<

:D Jeremy you must realise this is in the 'Wirral or its environs :P :)

:) As Helen_t suggests the ONLY sure fire way is to cultivate 'Friends' who you find CAN play Bridge (serious) and play with them all the time: B)

:D Tis just like Roman Blackwood using CRO and is not encrypted and fully permissible :)

:lol: Go to yola.com for a free Webpage designer :lol:

;) One main reason appears to be missing "Airless and warm stuffy atmosphere in the playing area" <_< :D Another is when looking at partner who is akin to a Skyscraper where you can see the lights being turned off 1 floor at a time :rolleyes:

:D Surely it is not UI as partner must already know (or summise) you are a true blue top of the range MORON :)

:D similar to waynes except using 4NT so we are 1 level higher meaning we can still stop in 5♥or♠ Or for that matter we can stop in 5♣ Assuming we held same shaped hands in ♣ and A.N.Other :)

:rolleyes: Transfers Smansfers Just use the old fashioned Acol bid of (in this cse ) 3♥ Which merely says If you hold 3 ♥ (or more) Bid 4♥ else bid 3NT. This is not a stayman hand :P

;) Just intrigued as to why anyone could even think that playing less boards per match could ever cure slow play :)

Under which Law? It would seem that what you imposed was a DP, as I cannot see how the person breached 90A or B. Although that does not limit the offences, there is a clear implication that an offence needs to have been committed. And I agree with gordontd that the remark, if not in jest, was inappropriate and could be perceived as an attempt to get a favourable ruling. However, it is not clear to me that it breached any Law. Plenty of people including me make stupid statements on every hand! :) You are correct Paul It was a DP (my hurried typing putting PP) :D

:D I did actually rule in his favour anyway but this was NOT influenced in anyway by his Stupidity He got the PP for making a Stupid statement <_< Those who know me know full well that I do not stand for any nonsense

No it doesn't. Shintaro began "Lol as an aside a colleague of ours at Brighton a few years back said to me". I understand that you may not be familiar with "newspeak" but I believe Lol means "laughing out loud". And the clause "Lol as an aside" is used to describe how the colleague stated it. In addition, as he was described as a colleague, rather than just another competitor; that suggests he was well-known to the TD, whose 1VP fine does seem rather draconian. Also, if the TD had made any suggestion that he would be thrown off the balcony, he should immediately complain to the chief TD, unless, of course, the threat was made in an obviously joking manner, but even then such a comment has no place whatsoever in a bridge tournament. lol nearly right Paul As to the 1VP fine the CTD later thought I had been lenient in only giving him a 1VP PP However my aside is immediately following Barries (pig trader) comment re Harrogate :)

Incredible! I would take the statement 'If you rule against me I shall appeal' as information, not as a threat. What was the justification for fining him? He simply informed you in advance that he was prepared to execute his privilege of appealing any ruling that would affect him in an unfavourable way. mmm here we do not tolerate players making such comments ;)

Lol as an aside a colleague of ours at Brighton a few years back said to me 'If you rule against me I shall appeal' That got him 1VP fine and asked if he wished to go for more:: also he should remember he was playing on the Balcony:: and its a long way down :D :)

:) I ain't seen many Redder :unsure: was it someone we know :)

It is felt that in Large fields especially you are only playong say 15 matches so out of say 250 pairs it doesn't really matter Not my opinion :unsure:

Scores being entered wrongly in Swiss Pairs is due mainly by Pairs siting the wrong direction. Pair x Should have sat N/S and V V, so the Computer thinks they have and you get a wrong score and subsequently Mis-matched. this could also have happened by manual scoring. Mainly due to 'Bridge Players' seeing a 'hole' at a table and sitting down. Your Mis-match would/should have been altered ie you would get your 20 and your old opps get their 0 then the mis-match rules kick in your New opps get threequaters of their score + 5 VP's Your OLD opps get threequarters of their score at the NEW table + 5 VP'

:) nuff said paul :D

<_< ok john might not be then :D
