Is there an iPhone or iPad version of BriJ?
BriJ does not have an iPhone or iPad version yet and it's likely
to be some time away. Do register an interest, though if you have seen
the Android version
Can I turn on or off BriJ predictions of contracts?
The factory setting for BriJ predictions of contracts is off.
You can change the settings for either (a) the contract that BriJ
thinks the auction may end up at, or (b) the number of tricks BriJ
thinks might be made in your chosen contract. Go to Settings>Hint
options
Can I deal a specific set of hands from my bridge magazine?
You can enter a deal manually or amend an existing BriJ deal. Go
to Deal menu Manual deal or Amend deal. See
here for details
Find the menu entry "Run game by Website download". A quick way
is to long-press the table. Follow the instructions to set your
bridge clubs up as favourites and download sessions, complete with
pairs results. There is an option to save hands for bidding/playing
later, without an Internet connection
Can I make it easier to touch the card I want to play on a small
mobile?
BriJ has an optional setting for card size.
Options>settings>screen layout options. Choose from "small",
medium", "large", "larger".
Also, on a small mobile phone, it may be best to turn
the phone to a landscape position. When installed, BriJ automatically
sets "mobile mode" which uses the whole of the South side of the
screen to show playing cards during the play phase. You can optionally set "mobile mode"
on a tablet if you find it easier
Yes, the PRO version of BriJ offers several convention choices:
a Beginner option for simple Acol and a SAYC option
(Standard American Yellow Card system) as well as Benji
Acol. Whatever option you choose, you can also specifiy which
additional conventions you play and specify high card point
ranges where they differ from the standard. Beginners may find it
useful to turn off most of the conventions at first, once they have
chosen Acol or SAYC as the base system
You can show all cards by touching the Menu>"show all" button.
Touching again hides the cards.
Cards will also appear if you have selected the "Bid all the hands"
or "Play all the hands" options. Long-touch the playing table to get
quick access to these options and make sure they are not selected.
They can also be selected through menu>options>settings>bidding and
playing options. Change "Bid automation" or "Play automation" to
"Play against robot"
I can't seem to get BriJ settings back to the way it was after
installation. Help!
When all else fails
Try restarting your android device or try a BriJ "factory reset"
if other Getting Started help from these pages doesn't
solve your problem
