Multiple Teams
I have received conflicting advice as to whether multiple teams can be played on BBO. I would appreciate a definitive answer otherwise the event I am planning will be played on Realbridge.
There are still some people who are so familiar with BBO now, they won't try Realbridge!
Many thanks

Multiple teams cannot be played on BBO. The closest you can get to simulating it is to have a series of head-to-head matches using the same cards. Each match has to be set up individually, which is really only practical if the matches are not short and/or you have lots of people to set it up.
Thanks Gordon - that's what I thought, but someone was insistent they knew better!
We use pre-dealt hands, rounds of 8 boars and swap players after each round.
Each 1/2 of the team sets up a team event of 4 pairs and we just accumulate the scores at the end, in IMPs.
Works okay, but we need 6 players capable of using BBO to create team events using the pre-dealt hands.
So much easier on Realbridge - multiple T of 8 or T of 4. Multiple T of 8 needs a little knowledge of config files, but not too hard to create. Added bonus it's almost self scoring with team captains able to see the Imp scores of both their teams.
