USBF System Regulations and Forms

The USBF Systems regulations are set forth in the USBF General Conditions of Contest. The USBF is now using the ACBL Open+ Convention Chart for all USBF events.

System Summary Form

The System Summary Form is created online. To complete your System Summary Form, log in to the site (your username was originally set at first initial followed by last name, all lower case, no spaces. Your password was originally set at your ACBL number with the letter capitalized). Under the User Menu, click on "Create or Edit SSF" and then follow directions. The System Summary Form is to be submitted at least 2 weeks in advance of the event in which you are playing.

The players in each event are responsible for reviewing the SSFs of other players for adequacy. If you have a complaint about a pair's SSF, you should This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and she will forward your complaint to the USBF Systems Committee for review. Note that players with SSFs for complex methods have their names in red on the Teams Entered list. The SSF Review Committee recommends that you review those SSFs particularly carefully before the event.

Before you complete the SSF, or if you haven't thought about it for a while, PLEASE read the Guidelines to Completion article that explains the purpose of the SSF and describes what you should include on the form.

There's also a sample System Summary Form to give you an idea of what's supposed to be included.

ACBL Convention Card

You are required to bring your ACBL convention card, as well as the System Summary Form to the table with you. Starting in 2013, we also require advance submission of ACBL Convention cards for review by your opponents and for reference by BBO Vugraph commentators and spectators. If you have created a convention card on Bridge Winners, please "share" it with Jan Martel, or send her a link to it. If you have an electronic version of your ACBL convention card please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Thank you for helping us with this.
