I have had some questions and concerns about the computer hands from some players. We all have been suspicious of the hands at tournaments.
To set the record straight, the Auto Deal programs have the ability to allow one to manipulate the type of hands created in the batch. There is also an option to ensure that the deals are totally random. Please be assured that ALL hands at Leaders Bridge Club are totally random and no manipulation is done on any hand or batch.
Players have asked me if they can "show up" without a partner and get a game. While I will make every attempt to find you a partner, as I will have seen all the hands in the preparation, it would be inappropriate for me to play. So unless the players at the game do not care if I play for the purposes of eliminating a 1/2 table I will not be able to play with you on a "show up". Even if I do play to eliminate a 1/2 table I will be scored as NO Play so any players partnering will be doing so for NO master points.
