murray884 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I find it most irritable when my partner or opponents post their system as private. How can one understand their bid when it is "private". In addition their name and place or origan is "Private" What are they ashamed about? One needs to communicate with one's partner during bidding. How can one do that when it is 'Private". I submit that to play one must, at least, signify the bidding system that one is using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Some don't know any bidding system. Some play multiple bidding systems with different partners. Even if a player mentions a system on his profile you should not assume that he is playing that. Especially if his partner has a different system on his profile :) Just ask opps what system and carding they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I find it most irritable when my partner or opponents post their system as private. There is no designated spot for system in a person's profile, is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray884 Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 put your arrow on the person's name. His resume, system played, and nartionality should appear. Many have "private" instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Private is an option under Skill Level If you are wondering what a bid means it would be best to query the bidder by clicking on the bid. I play 2/1 and that its what is listed in my profile. However, I play "standard" with some friends so the contents of my user profile may not have any resemblance to the bidding at all. I think the contents of the user profile are more useful when you are looking for a compatible partner rather than being used in lieu of alerts or queries or in your case, partnership discussions.

barmar Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 If your partner's system is private, why don't you play your system? They obviously can't expect you to play their system if they don't have one. When you sit down to play with them, say "My profile OK, pd?"
