WBF System Card Editors and other Systems information

The WBF System Card must be used at all WBF Championship events. The WBF Systems Policy is published here.

Players should also take note of the WBF Alerting Policy and the WBF Psychic Bidding Guidelines

The System Card is two-sided, and when completing it players should ensure that it prints on just two sheets of paper – a front and a back. 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, and are easily readable.

The System Cards must be prepared using the Word or Excel Templates which can be downloaded from the links below. Cards which differ from these will not be accepted.

Players with Mac computers should not use “pages” or “numbers” to create their cards. Any cards done using these will be returned to the player for conversion to word or excel.

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

Note that many events prohibit the use of Brown Sticker or HUM systems. Please ensure your system does not include these if you are participating in such events (details are in the Systems Policy). Written defences are only permitted against such systems – again, information about that can be found in the Systems Policy.

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.
