we are a small bridge club in Jeffreys Bay South Africa ... and thanks to BBo we can now still play bridge online .... we have three team matches going on Mondays ... but it would be so nice if all the tables could play the same hands ..... where can we downlaod hands in lin format so each team leader can put it in a folder in his deal archive ...

You can, perhaps, create the appropriate number of boards using the dealing program that you use at the club; if it generates PBN files then you can use http://johnfromarran...e/PbnToLin.html to convert them to LIN format.

Many use Dealmaster Pro to generate hands as this can output directly in LIN format, but there are alternatives you can google for. Basically anything that produces PBN can be converted.

Alternatively download the LIN file from a Vugraph match - http://www.bridgebas...ph_archives.php. You may need to edit this, removing the closed table hands for example, but you can do this in any text editor.
