Chamaco Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hi all, I am helping translating the BBO "thingies" in italian, but there is one term I totally ignore:it is "switcheroo" and it appears in the "Partnership bidding" section.I'll be grateful to anyone that will explain to me what that means and which is its functionality in the Pship bidding room (so I can translate it in the best way). Thanks !! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamaco Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Sodoes that mean that the dealer changes ?And, if so, does it change only N-S or rotates including opps side ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I did explain this in the Online Help. Switcheroo means that the constraints placed on the North and South hands are to be switched randomly between North and South. For example, if you set the constraints for the North hand to be a 1NT opener and for South to have a random 10 HCP, when you set "Switcheroo", sometimes North will have a 1NT opener and sometimes a random 10 HCP (and South the opposite).

Chamaco Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Ty all for the replies, maybe one day I'll invent a new dish clled "switcheroo pizza" or "switcheroo spaghetti". Bring a bottle of good red wine for that dinner ! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Heh, steer clear of switcheroo dinner parties, unless you are in a strong relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
