Supports multiple data sources: BBO exports, hands records from ACBL events, PBN hand records, manual text entries, and graphical board input.


Generate from BBO links

BBO URLs (links) can be obtained in multiple ways:
  • from the played board, Export -> Handviewer Link; as a full link (not tinyurl)
  • from the BBO Handviewer editor
  • from the results of ACBL virtual club tournaments played on BBO; copy the “Replay” link
  • from the results of ACBL face-to-face club tournaments; copy the “Play” link
