Full Disclosure file syntax?

[brownbear]

I want to build Full Disclosure files for my use and to assist with training new BBO users at our state club with active online system cards.

I have the time to build files but want to know the syntax of the lines.

Sample lines from one of the provided cards (bss file in my BBO folders):

*00{Std English ACOL }=NYYYYYY4 Card Mjrs Weak NT Strong 2's

001C=NYYYYYY24811-19* Rule of 20 applies

001CP1N=NYYYYYY26-9 Balanced no 4 Card Major

001CP1NP2C=NYYYYYY258No 4 Card major weak hand 11-14

001CP1NP2D=NYYYYYY548Strong Jump Shift 17+HCP

 

The basic structure seems to be:

1. Prefix, mostly 00

2. Bidding Sequence then an equals sign

3. Seven Y/N symbols often as NYYYYYY

4. A number or other code string such as A08!

5. Descriptive text to show.

 

Can anyone help with what this all means, especially the sequence of Y/N values and the code between them and the text that will be displayed?

 

Thanks, brownbear

other than 1st line:

first char is "*" if the opponents open

then 2 digits

first one

0 Any

1 None

2 Only We vul

3 Only They vul

4 Both vul

5 We not vul

6 We vul

7 They not vul

8 They vul

 

second one

0 Any

1 1st seat

2 2nd seat

3 3rd seat

4 4th seat

5 1st or 2nd seat

6 3rd or 4th seat

 

Series of calls with P for "pass". D for "double" and "R" for redouble or digit and denomination for bids (may be followed by a "condition" in curly brackets).

"=" is just a seperator

first "Y/N" is "Y" for artificial

next 5 are for denominations that are possible contracts "CDHSN"

last "Y/N" is "Y" if you are willing to defend a non-doubled contract

next digit is "disposition" (ommitted for last bid of P,D or R)

0 No Agreement

1 Signoff

2 Non-forcing

3 Constructive

4 Invitational

5 Forcing

6 Forcing to game

7 Slam try

8 Control bid

9 Preemptive

A Transfer

B Puppet

C Relay

D Asking bid

E Asking bid response

 

if last call was a suit bid the next two digits show the min and max suit length for that suit (8 stands for longer than 7).

 

Rest of the line is the explanation

 

Get something wrong and FD will just quitely display nothing at all!
