Pre-dealt hands for teams practice

[mrdct]

The Australian national team wants to play some teams matches on BBO with some pre-dealt instructional hands.

 

When starting a teams match, there doesn't seem to be an option to upload a set of hands.

 

Is there any chance of this functionality becoming available shortly?

Not on the radar at the moment, very few people have asked for it.

You could probably achieve the same goal through a Tournament where you have the facility to upload predealt lin files.

 

You can try a Private Tournament with 8 board, IMP, 1 Round, No. of deals per round as 8. Restrict No. of entries to 4. Make sure you control the order of registering the Pairs. The 1st registered Pair will be Table 1 NS, 2nd one will be T-1 EW, 3rd as T-2 NS and 4th T-2 EW. This is to make sure that the correct seating order is in place.

 

I have not tried this, but I guess this loophole should work. Can someone try and report if this works or not.

Thanks for the idea Dwingo. I'll see if I can get "tournament convenor" rights and give that a go.

Will work, no doubt. Disadvantage: you will be able to play deals only from 1 to 8 regardless of the number of deals in lin-file.

 

I like the possibility to load hands for team match too, add me Uday pls :-).

can now upload hands to team games. You have a tiny window of opprtunity to do so, between creating the T and when the T starts.

[Dwingo]

Uday, can you explain how this is done.

 

Yes, I saw the feature available now under Table, when playing Teams.

 

But you dont see the Table until all 8 accept invitation . So I presume, you mean that when the Team Match is listed saying 2 minutes to start, we need to click on that and then Table, Edit Tournament and upload predealth hands. ( This is a real small window of opportunity)

 

Many a time, even when your Team Match is listed, someone is not accepting, and the Create Team Match window needs to be editted and restarted. Do we upload once more or the 1st one stays?
