WBF Convention Card Editors and other Systems information

The WBF Convention Card must be used at all WBF Championship events. The systems regulations for specific events can be found in the Supplemental Conditions of Contest for that event and there are additional regulations in the WBF General Conditions of Contest. Players should also refer to the WBF Systems Policy for further guidance.

The Convention Cards are best prepared using the Word or Excel Templates which can be downloaded from the links below. Players who have used the WBF CCE or the Lee Edwards progams in the past are urged to update to the Word version – if you send the original files to Anna Gudge she may be able to assist with the conversion for you. Players with Mac computers are strongly advised not to use “pages” to create their cards as these will not print accurately and it is extremely difficult (or even impossible) to convert them to PDF properly.

A link is also provided to the Guide to Completion of the Convention Card which may be of use when filling the card in to ensure that all relevant information is included.

Note that Supplemental Sheets (A4 or letter size) should be provided, cross referenced to the cards, for any explanations that do not fit easily onto the form. Players must ensure that their forms do not use very small fonts, are easily readable and that the front and back of the card each print on a single sheet of paper.

If Brown Sticker (BS) Conventions or HUM Systems are to be used by players, particular attention is drawn to the Conditions of Contest for the event to ascertain they are permitted and at what stage of the event. Special forms are required for BS Conventions and links to blank forms for use for Opening Bids and Overcalls are below together with a PDF document of instructions for each type of form. Brown Sticker and HUM systems are NEVER allowed in Youth or Senior Championships.
