How do I set up prepared hands for teaching

[Wainfleet]

I am having lots of trouble here, tried so many times and failing (my fault I am sure).

I want to set up a prepared hand where I will demonstrate how to bid and play it, and then video it as a lesson.

I can set up a hand in hand editor, but have difficulty with setting it with various dealer positions an with declarer as South. I'd like the demo to be able to toggle between showing all four hands or just North South. And I then go wrong trying to load it onto the teaching table. I give it a name in hand editor export it with a file name to 'saved hands' in a named folder, but when I try to load it into the teaching table the saved board is not there.

 

Your help will be much appreciated.

Can anyone help?

Firstly the hand editor.

 

After finishing all four hands, you click the Play button to set the dealer and the vulnerability. When you are happy, then you can Export the deal to a saved folder. After the export, you can change just the dealer (and/or vulnerability) and Export again if you wanted to play the same hand with a different deal and/or vulnerability.

 

I've not had a problem saving the hands in a saved folder or then using them at a teaching table. However you have to select the folder as the Deal Source and then Redeal to get the hands.

 

At the teaching table, you can toggle to show all four hands or one specific hand via the teaching options. You cannot show just North-South.

Many thanks Paul,

I 'bumped' my first post in the hope that it might catch your eye. I have moved my teaching group to BBO and my website has links to all your BBO videos, which my students have found invaluable.
