Cut it out of the newspaper and bring it to your local club game, and the director will scan it and give you a free play. http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif No, I'm just kidding. It's probably an encoded version of the deal, so the formatting software can read it and output the complete diagram without someone having to manually key in every hand in each seat.

y66 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Looks like a table graphic to me, not a barcode. Barcodes have bars of varying widths and spacing. If you want to lobby Mr. Alder to use the BBO Handviewer, you can contact him at pdabridge at prodigy dot net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Looks to me like a square representation of a table with compass lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM75 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sloppy generation of a JPG file. Maybe the publication has bad automation, or just bad editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
