Can the hands be left on the screen after play so we can discuss the hands/play/bidding?

After the hand has been played, can the hands be left on the screen longer so that we can discuss them?

You can click on the History tab to see all previous hands you played and their scores.

Yes but in the meantime you are already playing another hand and all chance for meaningful discussion with partner or opponents or director has gone.

This has been a frequent request recently and I think it is fair to assume that you are in a friendly environment where everyone wants to discuss it, not a timed event like a tournament.

 

It is inconvenient that another hand has popped up, but you do not have to start the new hand until you are ready. Take your time and discuss away.

 

I don't expect BBO to put a feature in that allows you to delay the next board popping up, it would just annoy too many BBO users unnecessarily.

 

Although discussing a board immediately can be helpful if all the players are interested in the questions it raises, for a partnership it is often better to leave discussion until after the session. The analysis skills of most are improved by taking a break and looking at a hand with a fresh eye. Too often I see my club players want to discuss how they should bid the game that makes, without really appreciating that the three finesses and 3-2 break it requires means they should not be bidding it.

 

You can find all the hands on myhands afterwards (Hand Records on bridgebase.com).
