When your bridge system is in full disclosure is there a way to set it so that only the opponents can get explanations of the bids ? I think it used to be that way before the flash version. Also it would be fun to get an update on full disclosure for example it would be fun to be able to printing bidding tree.

In short a software for entering, printing your bridge system is something i would buy with no hesitation.

I have a related but much different question.

Is there any way the opponents can turn off the explanations? I find it incredibly annoying to get detailed explanations of even the most routine bids.

I have no idea about the flash client, but in the old (downloadable) program, click the 'conv' button, then options, and you will see checkboxes to allow you to control what FD explanations you see.

I have to add, though, should I play against you, either I'm not going to be happy about having to key everything in because you switched FD off, or you're not going to be happy with the results if you just tell me you'll ask if needed.

You probably don't need to buy it. There are free convention card editors out there, if you can put up with the limitations of the various formats enforced by the different bridge authorities.

Personally, I just use a word processor.

As regards your question about the explanations, see my reply to Art. One of the options is whether or not you see FD alerts of bids made by your partner - so the answer is both you and your partner need to set the checkboxes appropriately. Once again, I know nothing about the flash client.

I was thinking about full systems that take multiples pages not just convention cards.

Using a word processor to enter a bidding system is quite laborious if you want to get nice and easy to read pages. I like very much browsing the

http://bridge.downag...e/FD/public.php Its just so much easier to learn a system when everything is clear. I wish we could print full system like this.

I guess it's what you're used to. I took a look at your link, and I'd much sooner have the text version every time.

using this link, I can only print frame by frame. Look in print preview after opening the file.
It takes long time.
Is there anyway to export to excel for these entire file FD cards?
