Pre-Dealt Hands
Since acquiring a dealing machine in 2010, almost all games have used pre-dealt hands with printed hand records for players to review after the game. This is a terrific learning tool for bridge. A big THANK YOU to Unit 499, for assisting with the purchase of the machine and for subsidizing half the cost. Grant Robinson prepared detailed procedures for creating and uploading game results that include hand records.
Dori Dolgin is now helping to generate the hands with the dealing machine. She does a terrific job!
