Convention Cards

Create, edit and print bridge convention cards on real federation layouts. The editor mirrors the printed card field by field, a live preview shows the actual sheet as you type, and finished cards can be versioned, published to the Explore feed and copied by other players.

WBF - the World Bridge Federation card used at world and European championships: two A4 landscape pages with the full openings grid.
ACBL - the American Contract Bridge League card for North American clubs and tournaments, with its checkbox-heavy layout.
You pick the template when creating a card; each card keeps its layout. To try another layout, create a new card.

The form mirrors the printed card exactly - every field appears in the same place and order as it prints, so nothing on the sheet is unreachable.
Toggle Preview to see the real printed sheet render in real time while you type. It scrolls to the section you are editing, and you can zoom and drag to pan.
Type !s, !h, !d or !c in any field to insert coloured suit symbols, and wrap text in *asterisks* to make it bold on the card.

Print / PDF opens a print-ready page in the exact federation format; use your browser's dialog to print or save as PDF.
Fields you leave empty keep their ruled lines, so a partly filled card can still be completed by hand at the table.

Create version snapshots the current card under a number you choose (v1.0, v1.1, ...), with an optional changelog.
The version history lists every snapshot - view any of them as a full card, or restore one to make it the current working copy.
Versions are frozen: later edits never change a saved snapshot.

Publishing is two steps: create a version, then publish that version with up to three tags. The Explore feed shows exactly that frozen snapshot - your later edits stay private until you publish a new version.
Explore lists everyone's published cards with author, tags and copy count. Open a card to view the full sheet and make your own editable copy.
You can publish a newer version or unpublish at any time; copies other players already made keep working.

Common questions

Match your federation: WBF for international-style events, ACBL for North America. The guide to the bridge convention card goes through what to write in each section.

No. Empty fields print as ruled blank lines, exactly like an unfilled paper card, so you can print a partial card and complete it by hand.

Type !s, !h, !d or !c anywhere and it becomes the coloured suit glyph as you type. Wrap text in *asterisks* to print it bold.

The frozen version you published - name, layout and content as they were at that moment. Edits you make afterwards stay private until you create and publish a new version.

Yes - open any published card and choose "Make a copy". You get your own fully editable copy in My Cards; the original author's card is untouched.

No - the layout is chosen when the card is created, because each template has its own field arrangement. Create a new card on the other template instead.
