Can someone direct me to a simple, plain English explanation of how to set up a bidding table on BBO and set constraints to practice, for example, 2/1 hands, of NT hands?

I'm sure it's meant to be obvious, but I've tried several times to figure it out, with no success. I go to Practice - Start a Bidding Table and start the table. I go to Deal Source, constraints and I see that I can supposedly set the range of HCP and number of cards in each suit. But when I do that, the hands seem to be random anyway (as if the constraints weren't saved or applied). Same if I say that opponents should "pass throughout". They bid anyway.

paulg made a video on the constraints here:

If you want E/W to always pass, make sure you leave those seats empty (rather than placing robots in them).

That was great - thanks! Is there a similar video on how to use saved deals?

I don't work for BBO and any advice is based on my BBO experience over the decades
