Plaid Gary Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Today after one of our players bid "Pass", the word "Pass" in the bidding panel was surrounded by a red circle (actually, a rectangle with rounded corners). What does that mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 It means the person alerted the pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Any bid with a red border means they alerted the bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbb483 Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Any bid with a red border means they alerted the bid. Except, of course, you are supposed to alert your partners bid, not your own. And you need to alert it before rho makes their bid. The 'alert' on this system is worthless - you have to use the 'chat' to do a proper Alert.

The 'alert' on this system is worthless - you have to use the 'chat' to do a proper Alert.Online, and with screens in face to face play, you alert your own bids. You can explain your alerted call as you make it and it is a system that has worked well for decades. It is different from club or tournament play without screens. But most organisations who run online tournaments have different alerting regulations that support the BBO practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
