Uploaded deals for tourneys


Recommended Posts

Let's assume I wish to upload some deals for a tourney. Not because I want to pick the most exciting hands I've ever played, but because there are advantages with random deals too:

 

--the Director could arrange for a hand record to be posted online shortly after the tournament ends

--such a webpage could even include analyses of the hands since the deals could be generated well in advance

--for the Alphabet series of sayc-only Individuals, a program like Jack could pre-play the hands against itself using sayc, generating sayc sequences the Director could refer to when facing allegations of non-standard bidding

--Jack's scores might even be useful par results for players to compare against, and the auctions would be instructive for sayc beginners.

 

Here's the problem. BBO requires the deals to be uploaded in .lin format. Anyone know of a .pbn to .lin converter?

BridgeVu.exe will take a *.pbn file and automatically outputs a *.lin file.

 

You will then need to massage the lin file a little to upload the deals.
