  • The dealer is shown with the Letter “D” in the small board # square.

and remember RED means vulnerable and WHITE means not-vulnerable.

  • Under the OTHER section, you can include details of your system.

ALERTING

  • You SELF-ALERT you own calls – for your opponents’ eyes only.
    So, before you actually bid, press the ALERT and provide your explanation. NOW select your call Number & Denomination.

CLAIMING
