So sad, 2026 and ACBL Regionals still rely on players dealing the boards for teams.

I'd bid 3S, but honestly I have no idea whether a 4S bid is better. I feel like this is one of the areas us folks who haven't played 1000 sessions of at least intermediate level IMPs are at a disadvantage.

when we could have randomly dealt hands, bidding without trays or UI or insufficient bids, explanations in text without UI, play without UI and harassment of opponents and revokes, full records of auction and sequence of play.
Merely by using those dreadful electronic devices that we rely on for the rest of our lives.
