howsthaat Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Is there a way to prepare alert explainations beforehand.Some bids my partner and I use take a while(and a bit of space)to type into the little box.So much so that we "dumb down"our system when playing here.This isn't good for our game at club and regional competitions.If there is a way to fill the alert with 1 or 2 clicks we would love to know.We are both religious about alerting and explaining so a quick and easy way would be great.

hrothgar Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 BBO implemented a system called Full Disclosure that is intended to do exactly what you ask. The learning curve is still rather steep, but once you get used to the app, its very powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTodd13 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 FD is better in the long run but I used a program called RemoteKeys for years before FD was available. It was pretty quick and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 The question is how much you play on BBO with your regular partner. I would suggest that if you play quite a lot, it is worthwhile learning "Full Disclosure" (as suggested by others). There is now some Online Help that you might find useful (I am biased, so I cannot comment on how good it is). Full Disclosure (FD) allows you to spend time (it can be "Off line") and enter your bidding system to whatever level of detail you have it defined. Of course, this means that if you have 100 pages of notes, you must expect to enter roughly a 100 pages worth of input into Full Disclosure. Again, the question is how much you play online. Your comment suggested that you like to play online, but are serious tournament players -- you are worried about the affect on your game of playing online. So I suspect it would be worth your while to learn and use Full Disclosure. If you do, it will not be your fault if the opponents make errors because of not heeding what your bids mean.
