BBA allows you to draft any player for any position. This creates great opportunities to use the program, which by default serves as a Table Manager or a manual or automatic TM client.
In order for the obtained results to be as credible as possible, you should use a CC card that matches the style of play of the selected bots. The program folder contains examples of convention cards *.bbsa. The selected Convention Card only affects EPBot's bidding and the interpretation of bids.
The player is selected from the auction context menu (from the player's headers).
Single player can be selected in the ROOM as:
EPBot - the default bot is the built-in EPBot class, but it is possible to select an external robot in the form of a DLL file containing the EPBot class and the methods used;
Ben - the default path to run file is "C:\Ben" or current BBA directory ".BBA\Ben". The folder must have: table_manager_client.exe  (created by Thorvald Aagaard). If the "Play" option is used, it must be selected before selecting the bot.
subfolder \BBA\CC contains a CC file *.bbsa for BBA
subfolder \config must contain a *.config configuration file with the same name as the selected CC for BBA
the Windows environment must have the variables BEN_HOME=C:\Ben declared for both the user and the system
GIB - the necessary version 6.1 or 6.2 files must be located in the current BBA directory;
WBridge5 - the WBridge5 program must be installed in "C:\wbridge5\" or its files copied to the current BBA directory;
Standard BOT - any bot that uses Blue Chip Bridge networking protocol and is launched manually;
Manual - any number of items to play locally in the selected room,
The THE WHOLE TEAM section allows you to select the entire team 1 or 2 at the same time.
and also at TABLE MANAGER as (these options are for BBA which is a client and connects to TM):
Manual member - requires manual entry of bids. This mode of operation is suitable for playing with the table manager as a remote partner;
Automatic member - the bot bids automatically. Useful for playing with the table manager as a standard BOT.
In the text box that appears on the left side of the application, enter the Port and IP address of the manager computer.
Selecting an external robot in the form of a DLL file containing the EPBot class from the auction context menu (from the player's headers):
If the context menu is invoked while holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key, the selected bot will be set only for the selected player.
If the context menu is invoked while holding down both keys: the CTRL and SHIFT, the selected bot will be set for the entire Team.
If the automatic bidding is suspended, program will try to restart a deal and bots after 60 second.
You can manual restart the suspended bot by clicking its checked position in the popup menu again or manually terminate it.
