Hello i'm a newbie to bridge and having a great time playing at BBO.
Would it be possible to play solitaire bridge with robots that understand ACOL bidding?

Many thanks

Hi, welcome to the forums. As far as I know most bridge playing software supports acol bidding (Jack, WBridge, Gib,...).

Many thanks for your speedy reply.I can't seem to find the option for ACOL bidding when playing the solitaire bridge on BBO.
Thanks.

no, it is not possible on BBO currently and probably won't be for a long time. GIB is not programmed in a way that makes it easy to add bidding systems.

No, they don't play Acol - there isn't an option to vary their system. There might be in the future, but it certainly won't be for some while, if at all.
