Pre-Alert Box

[A2003]

Recommend Pre-Alert Box.

This will pop-up whenever the new round starts.

Each team can write about 6 lines.

something like below:

 

"Hi all.

We are playing 2/1 or precision or whatever system.

Leads: UDCA or standard or whatever

Discards: odd/even or high/low or whatever

Opening NT range: 13-15 or whatever

Misc:................."

 

This will minimize or help the players writing this every round to each team.

Mistakes in writing and correction in spelling can be avoided.

If this is made mandatory, then, it will also help and improve the defense.

Right now, very few teams announce all these information to the opponents before the beginning of the tournament.

Saves time for the players and also make everyone to think it is important before the game announcement.

Or people could just actually post CC's...

seems a lot of tournaments require players to announce systems and carding. perhaps it would be good if each pair had to fill out just those two lines of information in some form whenever they sign up for a tournament and then that information would either be printed to the screen after each round change or the would be an area of the screen where one could hover to get it (kind of like a profile...)

 

This is not happening at the tournament by lots of teams.

There are lots of players are not familiar where to look at the carding in full disclosure convention card.

Recommend software to force to write something upon arrival at the table for each round.

It saves time for players to retype every round and the opponents need not have to ask for that information.

This will be for some improvement.

Mainly interested in NT range and lead and discard carding agreement in advance.

This will allow to prepare for some defense in advance.

Playing in some fast timed tournament, there is no time to do all this.
