The ACBL has decided that the Springold round of 16 and quarter-finals will be used for a test of electronic bridge. They will be played using Chromebooks and the LoveBridge software: so no cards!

So for today and tomorrow you will need to visit https://vugraph.lovebridge.com/ to watch the play.

I believe the semifinal and final will be back on BBO Vugraph over the weekend.

Should be much better for spectators. No incorrect or missing bids, all card play displayed exactly as it happened, should see alerts and explanations as made by players(?).

Jan Martel (USBF) indicated the Saturday and Sunday matches would be on BBO UNLESS all 4 teams strongly wanted Chromebooks instead.

Certainly the recording of the bidding and play will be accurate. However they may well be writing explanations rather than typing them.

The explanations are there, at least in the only round I looked at (Rombaut).
