Is there a way of starting two or more matches with identical boards? Either both matches started by one person or two people starting one match each.
I know that you can start a match from a saved set of deals, but I can't find a way of generating random deals into a folder, or a way of sharing a saved set of deals with another TD.

First, while any user may start a single TG ( team game ) , you need special permissions to run multiple matches at the same time. I see you have them already.

Next, in order to use a set of existing deals for a TG, those deals must exist in a folder. The folder must contain exactly as many deals as the TG specifies for 'number of deals'

( I'll explain below how to create a set of deals in a folder )


Finally, to use a folder to supply deals:

Login -> all tables -> team matches -> CREATE TEAM MATCH
Select 'use saved deals; and select the folder containing the deals.
As usual fill out 1-8 player names. If u specify a name now, the player will see an invite. Else he can view pending matches and click on a seat to sit.

You can repeat for the second match.


Now, to create a set of deals in a folder:

Login -> Hands & Results -> Hand Editor

a. Click Redeal. a random hand will be generated.
b. click Export Deal -> Save Deal as -> Create Folder (give it a name you like along the way) -> SAVE

c. Click Redeal
d. click Export Deal -> Save Deal as -> SAVE ( alongside the newly created folder)

repeat c and d until u have enough deals in the folder.


You can constrain the deals - click the DEAL SOURCE button and play around.

Many thanks Uday,
I was hoping for a simpler way of doing this (and wasn't aware the #count of match-boards had to equal the number of boards in the folder).

I'll suggest a simplification in the suggestions forum, although I quite understand that this may be an exotic request.
All the best,
Alan
