Question:

Bridge+More – How to import card distributions (hands) into your Bridge+More solution (Basic)

Answer:

The Bridge+More solution is a complete solution and creates all the card distributions – hands – you need – but you might want to import a specific card distribution.

Therefore, the Bridge+More solution offers you multiple import options and read all know Bridge file formats on the Bridge+More website.

There are some simple principles for the Bridge+More solution card distribution handling and import

  • The Bridge+More solution always automatically generates random hands when you create a game – import of your own card distributions should be regarded as an overwrite of the random hands – when you import (overwrite) is up to you but import must be done before you start the game. Why this 2 step process
  1. We had too many examples of people importing to few boards – by generating random hands we ensure there is always the correct number of boards
  2. You can study the game details before it is played – you, our support and a club manager have the same insight – can see all details is correct
  3. You can wait to import – or have somebody else to import just before the game start – to ensure you have not been able to look at the hands before the game (as you also can regenerate random hands just before the game start)
