aniko2 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 hi -- and I have been playing bridge for many years. However I am having difficulties understanding how BBO works. For example, how do you query conventions when they are not on their convention card? What are the rules for the chat room? Is there an introduction to the mechanics of this thing? Thanks... anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi Anne, We do have extensive help files (which you can access by clicking "Help"). If you can't figure something out, your best course of action is to send an e-mail to support@bridgebase.com.

aniko2 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 OK. Thanks for the advice. I was hoping for a mentoring system, or a FAQ about BBO etiquette, or an essay comparing BBO to duplicate, or some sort of introduction to the culture. But I'll try the help files and see how that works instead. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlRitner Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I have a suggestion. When I go to the Useful Links and Information and then click on Bridge Base Standard tutorial/reference, it tells me I can find the convention cards on Bridge Base Online already filled in with these systems. Well, probably others can, but I cannot find these. I believe I have exhausted the menu options to no avail. Browsing the forums here was not productive either. What would be helpful is a link within that text directly to the system cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Carl, are you using the Windows app or the web client? In the web app, click on My BBO, then Convention Cards, and you'll see a collection of pre-filled convention cards for various systems.

CarlRitner Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Oh geez. I am going to guess it's the Windows app. There's another way to get there? I'd better wake Rip V.W. in that case, he's probably not heard of this either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlRitner Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 What I really wanted to know was if the Bridge Base 2/1 standard opens one notrump with a five card major: never, rarely, sometimes, mostly, always. The information is just not there for me. The web based "app" had a flashing "high school" folder that precluded me reading for long without risking a serious headache. Thanks anyway.
