A few pointers at the table

This is a friendly reminder of a few ground rules at the table:

• When playing on BBO, please post a convention card. If you don’t have one, you should play Standard American.
• When playing on BBO, make all alerts and announcements during the auction in the Alert box. Never to the table!
• When playing on BBO, to call the director, click the blue box that has the 3 lines in it.
• When a declarer makes a claim, state the line of play, especially if trumps are still out.
• If you think opponent's claim is bad, either a) call the Director BEFORE rejecting the claim; or b) reject the claim and play the hand out.
• If you play an artificial 1 bid, such as short club or precision, please pre-alert that each round. You still need to alert the bids if they come up in the auction. e.g. 1C (could be as short as 1).
• If you transfer, say the suit. e.g. 1NT 2H (announce: spades). If you play 2S transfers to clubs and can be changed to diamonds, announce: either clubs or diamonds
