Trainer Login

As a trainer you create groups, invite your students and upload your own training material (PBN). Students download the Redoublet app and can play your games straight away. Afterwards they see their score, an explanation (optional) and the DDS score, and they can replay the game if they wish. Students also have access to our Analyse module: they can take photos of any bridge game and receive the DDS score; with Pro or an active trial they can also replay that game against our robot. See also the video.

It's free for both the trainer and the student. As a trainer you can create unlimited groups and competitions. Students get access to the app, including the analyse and learn modules — these are and will remain free, so your teaching material always stays freely available to your students. Every new student account also starts with a 60-day free trial of Redoublet Pro, and after the trial a free account still plays 10 games a month in the open Redoublet competitions. Students who want unlimited play pay €5.99 a month (cancel anytime).

Students don’t need to sign up themselves — the trainer (you) creates their accounts. Add them one at a time or paste a whole list of names and email addresses in one go. If a student already has an account, they are automatically added to your group. Afterwards you can still correct a name (until the student first logs in), look up the password you gave a student (as long as they still use the group password), and see in the dashboard who has logged in and who has played.

Yes. Upload your own deals as a PBN file, or let Redoublet generate deals filtered by opening bid, final contract, declarer and result, so they match the lesson you have just given. For every deal you can add your own explanation (still editable once the competition is live) and turn the hands with one click so the student sits South as declarer. Your deals and notes can be downloaded again as PBN or as a PowerPoint.

Yes. When you create a competition, choose the game type “Play only”: you set the contract and declarer for each deal and the students play it out, with no bidding. This is how the first lessons of a beginners’ course work, before bidding is taught. Students in a play-only competition are scored against each other; the robot stays out of that table.

No, there are no limits on the number of groups, students, or competitions.

The learn module is part of the competition module (it is a form of competition). The learn module always remains accessible to students, even after their trial period has expired or if they don’t have a pro account.

Yes. Click a student’s name in the dashboard and you see every deal they completed: the four hands, the auction they bid and the cards they played, trick by trick. The dashboard also shows who has never logged in, who has logged in but not played, and who played what and when.

Yes. On a student’s play review you can type a tip for the bidding and a tip for the play under each deal. Press “Send tips” and the student receives a PDF by email: one page per deal with the hand diagram, the auction, the double dummy table, the tricks played and your tips. Replies go straight to your own email address.

Yes. After each deal a student sees their score in matchpoints against the classmates who played the same deal. As a trainer you see everyone’s progress and results in the dashboard.

Yes. Alongside the competitions you create for your group, any student with a Pro account or an active trial can set one up: a name, one-off or recurring (daily or weekly), our deals or their own PBN file, matchpoints or IMPs, and an email invitation for the players. It is the same competition engine your groups run on.

Yes. Two students sit North and South at the same table, wherever each of them is, with our robots as their opponents — the same deals, the same competitions and the same scoring as when they play alone. It works in your learning competitions too; in a play-only competition the partner seat is played by the robot for now. Partner play is new, so it still carries a beta label in the app.

You choose the system you actually play. The robot bids 5-card major (NBB club), 5-card major (NBB beginner), 2/1 Game Force, SAYC or Swedish Modern. Click a system to open its system card; the cards for the other three are on the way. Whichever system you pick, your opponents always bid and play 5-card major (NBB club).

Our robot combines fixed bridge rules with simulations to decide its bids and plays. It uses only the information available to you as a player — there is no peeking at the other hands. It follows standard conventions (see the bidding system above) but will deviate when its simulations point to a better option. As a result, it can play brilliantly one moment and make a beginner's mistake the next. Overall, we'd rate its level as above-average.

Claims — both those made by your opponents (EW) and the verification of your own (NS) claim — are settled by double dummy analysis. It plays out every possible distribution of the remaining cards and determines exactly how many tricks can be made. This means an opponent's claim may rely on the location of cards you cannot see — that is the nature of a double dummy result. To be clear: during play the robot does not peek at all four hands; it plays only on the information available to it.

Both work, on one account. Play Online runs in any browser at redoublet.com/play, with nothing to install. The app — free on iOS and Android — adds the two camera features: Analyse Game and Score Tracker.
