My partner and I spent 20 minutes describing our system and got a perfectly formatted ACBL card. It used to take us an hour to fill one out by hand - and we'd still miss sections.
Convention Card
Creator
Describe your partnership's bidding system in plain English - Brian will generate a complete ACBL convention card you can print and bring to the table.

What it is, how to fill one out, and how this tool makes it fast.
What is a bridge convention card?
A convention card (or GCC - General Convention Card) describes the bidding agreements a partnership uses. The ACBL requires pairs to have one available for opponents during sanctioned events. It covers opening bids, responses, conventions, leads, signals, and competitive methods on a single page.
How does this tool work?
Describe your system in plain English - or pick a preset like SAYC or 2/1. Brian reads your description and fills out a complete ACBL-format card. The whole process takes under five minutes. Then print it or save it as a PDF.
Can I download or print my convention card?
Yes. Click the Print button after Brian generates your card. It's formatted to fit on one page. Use your browser's "Save as PDF" option to keep a digital copy for both partners.
Is it free?
Yes, free and no account required. There's a daily generation limit, but most partnerships only need to create a card once. Print it, done.
What systems does it support?
Any standard system: SAYC, 2/1 Game Force, Precision, Acol, or custom. Quick-start presets cover the most common options. For unusual agreements, just describe them in the text field - Brian maps them to the right card sections.
How do I fill out a convention card for the first time?
Start with the SAYC preset if you're unsure - it's the most common system in North American clubs. Then describe any differences: your NT range, whether you play weak or strong twos, Stayman, Jacoby Transfers, and any defensive conventions. Brian handles the rest.

Players Love the Convention Card Creator
From casual partnerships to tournament pairs - get your agreements on paper in minutes.
I play with three different partners and each has a slightly different system. Now I just keep three saved descriptions and regenerate cards before each game. So much easier.
The quick-start presets are great for newer players. We picked SAYC, tweaked a couple of things, and had a printable card in under 5 minutes. The director was impressed.
