Spooky Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 As regular training we get bidding hands to do by email. But emailing back and forth is not easy, we tend to use the partnership bidding option in BBO, but we don't have the hands in BBO, so the auction looks ridiculous with the hands in the movie. So I thought we could import into BBO and bid them. But I could get .dup file, or .pbn... I tried too import the .pbn it seemed to work, but I could only bid the last board of the set and it went to random deals. As I tried to convert the .dup file to .pbn or a .lin file (which is needed in bbo) but it got the same problem, showing only the last board. Does anyone know how to make this work? So we can bid a set made and saved as dup (or pbn) at BBO partnership bidding table? thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM75 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/41312-pbn-to-lin-converter/ Instructions for converting .pbn to .lin. Each hand in a .lin file can be represented as a single line. IIRC multiple hands can be loaded with one file. Off hand I can't remember whether it matters whether the lines are separated by a LF or CR-LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all hands working now, but now I encoutered another problem with it, we want North to be dealer on all boards.. but I can't find a parameter in the .lin file(opened in wordpad) to change it. is it possible to change a dealer on a given board? or is that BBO standard 1=north dealer, 2=east etc? thx!

Before uploading the lin file to the bidding table, use a text editor to change md|# where # is 1, 2, 3, or 4 to md|3, that should make north the dealer on all deals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
