3for3 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 One way BBO differs from real life is that you can review the auction any time you want to during the hand. After the first trick, in real life, this is no longer possible. What is the general consensus: Should the auction stay visible for the players after trick one?

jjbrr Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I like the idea of a feature where one could make the auction go away for the dummy play. I suspect the casual player is happy that it doesn't go away. So my slight preference would be that the auction not be visible after the lead, but I can understand the reason that it is the way it currently is, and I'm content if it doesn't change. Good topic imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 During a hand in F2F bridge, is it permissible to ask what the contract is? If so, this information should still be displayed if the auction is removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'm not sure asking what the contract is actually allowed, but 99.9% of players are good mannered enough to remind you if you ask :ph34r: Because when we play in real life, we're focused entirely on bridge, but when playing on BBO sometimes we're doing other things (eg chatting to friends online) as well, it's nice to have the auction there. Perhaps for tournaments etc though an option could be added to remove it after the opening lead. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Also, even during the play you can click on certain bids in the auction to ask opponents for an explanation of the bid. And as far as I know this is also allowed offline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3for3 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 The contract is displayed in a different area than the auction. One could still ask about a particular bid, and its meaning. You just have to remember the bids in real life. Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
