Free and I were hoping to find someone who could administer the hands this coming Sunday at:

15:00 Central European Time
9:00 Eastern Standard Time

[TimG]

I think Sunday is the 25th.

Thanks for the catch...

Make that 7/25

Hi Richard, I'd be happy to host the table for you.

Hi Kathryn

Thanks for the offer. Just to clarfiy, this is 6:00 AM out on the West Coast

(I have no objection to pushing this out a bit later in the AM.
Doubt that Free would mind either)

[inquiry]

Sadly, I will be on the road driving back from an out of town visit. I will check to see if I can delay my start and find a reliable internet connection. If so I might be able to host it.

Hi, Im an early riser so 6am is fine. It looks like I will have to be up earlier to beat Ben to it anyway.
Seriously, if Ben can get a reliable connection it would make sense for him to host.

Well I am staying with a relative, who believe it or not only has a dial up modem. In addition, the plan is to go out to IHop, then hit the road, so if your really get up that early Jilly, by all means let's plan for you to run it.

Save the chat and have richard and Fredrick remember to alert their bids, or talk about the last hand before they see the next one if they like. There is some interest in seeing their system in action.

Can we record hands when we're at a bidding table?

If so, it should be realtively easy to create some kind of annotated explanation of what went on...

(Please note: We're both dreadfully out of practice, so there could be some real ugliness here...)

This is sort of theoretical..

first, if you use FLASH, the hands will show up in the "my results" tab and remain there until you play so many more hands with this username (I am thinking like 99 or 100). I have used flash, but not very often. It is true has gotten better and better, but I am still sort of fond of the netbridgevu.

One big reason I am fond of netbridgevu is it will save the hands to the hard drive for you (in c:/bridge base online/hands/<your bboname> directory. This is true at teaching tables. so yes. if you use the older program it should save teh file for you. However, we have had some 4 or 5 contest were the file is corrupted. IF you open the lin file created in these matches, it will have all 16 contracts on the second line, but the bidding from the tables is missing. I am not entirely sure what cases these errors, but here is my best guess...

1.) If the table plays a board, then redeals a board out of sequence
2.) It the same hand is loaded to the table twice.

There maybe other reasons. It is not entirely clear, but if the table host does one of those two things it seems screw up. You can always reconstruct your bidding, or if the table host is really really paying attention, maybe he can reconstruct it....

Just want to verify that we'll have a host at 9:00 AM this coming Sunday.

(Thanks again for setting this all up)

Further to this in the flash client you can go to the options (bottom left where the deal is displayed on the right section of the screen) when a board is displayed, and you can select export deal. Then got to "save deal as", and it will save it to a virtual folder on the server. You have to do this for every hand in turn, but while partner tanks you'll have time.
