The 2017 Michael Seamon Junior USBCs will be covered on BBO Vugraph starting with the U26 USA1 Semifinal on Thursday, Dec. 28th. We hope to cover all of the tables in the U26 USA1 Semifinals and Finals, as well as the USA2 Finals. We will also cover at least some of th U21 Semifinal & Final and the Rona & U16 Finals.
To watch the Vugraph online, go to the BBO website where you can either log on directly from your browser, go to "Vugraph" and choose which table to watch, or use the download version of the BBO software to run BBO on your computer (only available if you already have it, not to new users). If you choose the latter approach, from the Lobby, click on the button labeled VUGRAPH and you'll be able to choose which of the matches you want to watch.
To watch on your smartphone or tablet, install the BBO app and watch using that.
There will often be a "yellow" user on BBO called USBF. If you have general questions, please ask USBF, not one of the hard-working Vugraph Operators, who may not have time to respond to private messages. Thank you.
Each day's schedule is the same (these are Atlanta times; to see the times for your time-zone, go to the BBO Vugraph schedule site)
11:30-1:40
1:50-4:00
5:45-7:55
8:05-10:15
Hints for BBO viewers
Useful information is available to browser BBO users [and perhaps some mobile BBO users]
a click on the name of the table/event name will provide a pop-up that:
* displays the BBO Schedule for the specific vugraph event – calculated for the time zone of the viewer’s electronic device
* has a link to the home page for the event
a click on a player name will usually provide a pop-up that
* displays a picture of the player
* shows links to System Summary Forms (SSFs), Convention Cards (CCs), and biographical information
VIDEO: Live video streaming is not available for this event.
Video from the event will be uploaded to YouTube as soon as we can manage.
After a session, you can review the Vugraph action on our Web Vugraphs, which show each hand played with a link to bidding and play records. Take a look at the older events currently available (under Archived Results) to see what we'll have for the 2017 MSJUSBC. Web Vugraphs are posted about half an hour after completion of the Vugraph show.
You can find the hand records for MSJUSBC matches on this site, linked to the scorecards you can get to by clicking on 2017MSJUSBC followed by U26, U26USA2, U21, U16, or Rona under "Event Results" in the upper left of each page
If you are going to be in Atlanta during the MSJUSBC and want to volunteer to help as a Vugraph operator, please
For operators, here's a longer set of instructions than the one on the table.
