Am I in the right place for a discussion with other members? The newest post I have seen is August 2007. If this forum has not been abandoned, I would like to know if is possible to play games with three bots without the games automatically playing out their hands about 50 percent of the time. Is there a way to participate in every hand played? I'm unable to contact anyone using email or a phone number. I would appreciate a response from anyone regardless of whether you can help or not.

Hi Dandey,

If you are dummy, you obviously don't participate in the play. This should happen about 25% of the time. I am not sure what you would like to do about it.

In many robot tourneys they swap you with your partner robot when you would be dummy, so that you always play the hands. This is very popular for obvious reasons.

Also, in most robot tournaments we arrange for South to get the hand with the most high card points, so NS are more likely to be declarer. When this is combined with South playing the hand when North becomes declarer, you should get plenty of practice in declarer play, rather than watching robots play with themselves.

I'm not sure why the newest post you see here is from 2007. I see a number of posts from the past week, and the pinned threads at the top of the list includes one with messages from February.
