No ... these are just ordinary sets of deals, one for each
day. I deal them here using one of the standard dealing programs,
and they were not changed or in any way altered - they are
exactly as dealt. The only thing we do in some instances is to deal more boards than are needed. Brian Senior then looks at them and reduces the number to the required amount, occasionally altering the order of the boards so that, for example, board 40 would become board 6 and board 6 would be discarded.
This is simply to try and ensure that each player gets a fair crack of the whip (well, a fair number of points, bids, defensive hands etc anyway). It doesn't always work perfectly, as obviously some people are more aggressive bidders than others, different systems may preclude bidding on some hands or perhaps permit bidding on weak hands. However, rest assured that we never alter a hand, nor do we rotate hands - all other considerations apart that is really so difficult to do accurately that we just don't have time!
