I've been reminded that it's important that we give the proper explanations and alerts for our bids on BBO.

Unlike at the bridge club, we explain our own bids, not our partner's, because partner can't see those explanations. The best way is to type in the explanation box before making the bid. If you don't get to that in time, click on your bid in the auction and an explanation box will be provided.

The opponents are also allowed to ask questions about your partnership agreements. Bridge is a game of full disclosure! If an opponent asks a question, the best way to answer is this: To the left of the chat field is a button that specifies where your chat is to be directed. If you click that, one of your options will be "Opponents ->". Select that, and your explanation will be directed only to the opponents, and invisible to your partner.

BBO doesn't make it easy, but we still have the obligation to answer reasonable questions from the opponents. If there's ever any doubt, give the director a call and I'll help out.

Best regards,
Mojo
