Dealt Boards
The committee is aware that there are people who are not happy with the spread of hands in the random dealt boards.
Having spoken to other clubs that use dealer 4 and the manufacturer, it has been decided to deal racks A and B in sets of 24 boards for use in clubs (most clubs only play 24 boards) if more boards are required on the day, boards 25 to 28 can be handmade.
Racks C and D will still be dealt in sets of 28 boards.
The redealt boards will have a sticker “24 board set” on the left hand side
This is for a trial period of 3 months, after which Committee will review the situation.
