I wanted to practice 2NT bidding with my partner and used these settings:

NS HCP: 27-36
S HCP: 19-22
N HCP: 8-15
S distribution: 2-5 cards in each suit
N distribution: 0-11 cards in each suit

Dealer: S

The first 2 dealt hands were OK but subsequent hands did not meet the specifications. When I switched on 'Use these settings for Dealer' I got Error generating deals messages.

Can anyone cast a light on this?

TIA

Constraint sets were only recently ported to the latest release of BBO and they are prone to problems.

When you used the settings for the Dealer program, you suffered the same bug we've found, namely the "&&" and "||" do not work. Replace them with "and" and "or" and you will stand a better chance.

BBO is aware of these problems but they are working on more important problems at the moment.

Thank you for the reply. Replacing &&'s with and's worked wonders.

Thank you, sorted my problem too.

The problem with "&&" should be fixed now.
