Alerting

ALERTING is different in BBO !!

Many players are misunderstanding this, so I'm giving it an entry all of its own :

    • You must alert your own conventional bid ;
    • Please do not alert your partner's bids !!
    • Alert your bid before you make it. There is a text field in the bidding dialogue box that allows you to describe the meaning of your bid BEFORE you make it ;
    • You should also use this field to enter the range of your NT bids ;
    • If you forget to enter the alert description, you can do it later by clicking on your own bid in the bidding box, this will call up an input field ;
      In this example I as North passed, then I clicked on my pass & the yellow box appeared


    • If your opponent neglects to describe their conventional bid, you can ask them by clicking on their bid. This will cause the input field to appear on that opponent's screen ;
    • Your partner doesn’t see your explanation, only your opponents see what you type in this field, so there is never any risk of communicating unauthorised information.
