As you may know, homebase tournaments on the BBO provides web-based html results immediately following all of our events. These results include the full deal (see gif above) with the board number and contract (both on upper left hand corner), dealer and vulnerabilty (both shown at the top middle of the image, and in the auction box underneath the hand diagram, where East bids first, thus is the dealer, and on this board (number 2), NS are vulnerable, and as you can see North and South are highlighted in red in the auction table below the hand, while East and West are non-vul, and highlighted in green.
The hand record also includes the full hand. You should note however a couple of unique things. First, the hands are rotated so that you (your private hand record) has you at the bottom of the record. On this hand, I was "West" as indicated by the "W" in front of my name, but note, I am sitting in what appears to be the south seat. If Jillybean looked at her hand record (jilly's) for this hand, she would would appear in the south seat, and if patsy (clayniac) looked at hers. This rotating the hand for the user is especially nice in individuals, where you are always at the bottom of the diagram and your partner at the top, rather than sometimes you are in each of the four different seats.
The hand record also includes complete trick-by-trick play record (to the right of the hand diagram), the results for this table and imp/MP score, immediately underneath the hand diagram, the makeable contracts, with makeable contracts by the YOU (when viewing your own hand record) in the last column to the right of the auction (with the blue heading). Note: just as the hands are rotated for the player, the makeable contracts rotate as well. Followed by any alerts make on the auction (see jmk114's alert of the transfer). Optionally, there will be some analysis text, as shown in this example, then a table of results at all tables in the tournament (the table above with a yellow orange header). Note, in this example, I changed the names of the other players. However, see they are either blue with an underline (or purple with an underline if you have vistied one of those pages). This is because they are hyperlinks, if you click on one of them, you would jump to this hand (hand 2) as played by that declarer. The browser back button brings you back to your own hand. You should be aware t his display is a gif of the file, so the hyperlinks in this picture will not work. Finally, each hand on our Homebase hand record is separated by line listing all the boards in that tournament. Each of those board numbers are hyperlinks, so clicking the 12, for instance, will jump you immediately to board 12. At the very end of the file (not shown) is a final standing for the tournament.
This format takes up much less room when printed than out past format, and it is much easier to review the complete hand information generally in one screen of data on line, and has all the information about a single tourney (winners, bidding at your table, play at your table, alerts, computer generated makable contracts, and any commentary if included) in a single, easy to read format.
The improvement in the format came from user comments. Any additional comments on how to make additional improvements are always welcome.
Anyone who plays in a homebase event will have a record like this created and posted on the web for easy access. In addtion, any club member can choose if they like to have this emailed to them as shown above, or as a link to the webpage with the hand record, or as a plain text email that looks something like below (this is again a screen capture, since this forum mucks up hand diagrams and spaces).
