• FREE HOME-DUPLICATE FORMS
  from Richard Pavlicek - Did you ever have a bridge party at home? If so, you probably played old-fashioned Ïparty bridgeÓ because you were afraid that a duplicate game might be too complicated. Well, fear no more! The forms created by Richard Pavlicek make running a duplicate game a cinch. Everything you need (except pencils and duplicate boards) is provided here. All of the duplicate forms are in PDF format, which requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print.

• Seating charts by Paul Chamberlain. As a personal challenge, I've used thousands of hours of CPU time and programming effort to create a number of highly optimized seating charts. The 6-table 8-game chart was created for my mother's bridge league and many others were created for special requests. These are free but I'd like my name to stay on them.

• John Manning's Bridge movements and statistics - United Kingdom. Unfortunately John Manning died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage on 3rd September 1998. John was an important pioneer in his published mathematical work exploring the concept of competition in bridge movements, which has certainly changed UK conceptions of movements. I believe he also authored the EBU official movements book. Update: John Manning's site is no longer online. Luckily, Chris Ryall mirrored the site a few years ago - the link is to the mirror site.

COMBINATION & DISTRIBUTION PROBABILITY TABLES
from Theodore Triandaphyllopoulos
(Greek and English) Most bridge books assume that these tables are known, but this is not always the case. What's more, the point to which these odds change when some of the opponents' cards are known, is not clear. This site analyses any given set of missing cards, considering the number of known cards in any of the opponents' hand, and produces a table you can use to evaluate a way of playing. New Feature: "this calculator now has the ability of finding the combined breakÜprobabilityÜof two or three suits." (Dec 02) Click here ....

CONVENTION CARD EDITORS  

• hi pard! - A partnership desk in cyberspace Create an online convention card, or many! They are stored on the hi pard site, available for printing directly from the web page. No more messy downloads or platform limitations. Partners can go to the site and take a look at your partnership card. Very cool service!

• Create Your Own Card - Convention Card Utility (Windows) by Merlin Vilhauer, Portland, OR, USA.

• MACINTOSH Convention Card bmap - A PICT file. To use it for printing your own convention card, modify it with a painting or drawing program. I find that blue text stands out with agreeable contrast. A service for the Mac community by Bob Leedom!

• Lee Edwards Convention Card - Lee has now produced a [presumably final] non-ACBL CCE. It does not have the basic ACBL card, and it does not have the bug about no convention cards. You can download it from David Stevensons web page Lee has also produced an ACBL CCE, which he is apparently improving over time. This has only got the ACBL card, and the latest version is at Lee's page. It will always be safer to get it from Lee's page than the ACBL site.

• HCS System Notebook, HCS CCEditor, and HCS Classic Card Editor. (September 14, 1998)

• April 17, 2002 - I have been looking at your website and am very impressed ! I provide a Bridge Scoring program called ScoreBridge I have only been offering it for under a year but I already have 150 users in 20 different countries I believe those who visit your web site may be looking for a very easy and user friendly Bridge Scoring system for club use. Many thanks Stephen Bligh
