Deals in Plaintext / Curtain cards

Use this if you are making boards that you will not play. This works well if you have a Mitchell or if you have a Howell with a sitout pair. See http://bridgemishaps.blogspot.com/2013/11/using-predealt-hands-in-small-games.html for which pair needs to make which boards.

You could also use this to have the director or other non-player verify to see that the cards were dealt properly. Verification should be faster than dealing by hand. The format of these makes them suitable for use as curtain cards (cut the hands of each player and insert them so that players in the first round can check to make sure they have the right card. The problem with curtain cards is that errors are hard to fix at the table since the players have seen the wrong card.).

Stage 1 of Duplication Algorithm

Start from a sorted deck. The deck should be sorted in suits (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, then Clubs) and within each suit, the cards should be sorted AKQJT98765432. In your sorted deck, Ace of spades should be the first card and the deuce of clubs the last one.

Deal the cards one-by-one to one of the 4 piles indicated. Then stack them up so that the last card of pile 1 is followed by the first card of pile 2, etc. This new stack should be given to the person carrying out Stage 2 (could even be the same person).

Errors tend to be reduced if one person reads the slip aloud while the other person handles the cards.

Stage 2 of Duplication Algorithm

Start from the deck that comes from stage 1. Deal each card to one of the 4 piles indicated. Pile 1 goes to North, pile 2 to East, pile 3 to South and pile 4 to West. The hands are now ready to play. Good luck!
