| Duplicate Board Labels and Vulnerability Inserts |
 |
Imperial Board Labels (boards 37-39) ─ Every director needs boards 37-39 occasionally. These have the correct dealer and vulnerability. | ||
| Print board labels on full-sheet label paper and cut to size. I cover mine with transparent packing tape before cutting them. This makes them wear much longer and renders them almost spill-proof. Cut vulnerability inserts in vinyl (you can find vinyl at most craft stores, such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby) ─ red for vulnerable; green for non-vulnerable. If you have a set of red boards, green inserts are pretty much a necessity. I use red and green inserts in all my boards. |
 |
New Generation Board Labels ─ Boards 1-36. These are much more legible than the labels included with the boards. | ||
 
|
Vulnerability Inserts ─ Cut your own vulnerability inserts ─ red for vulnerable; green for non-vulnerable ─ for less than half the price of purchasing them from Baron-Barclay or another bridge supply house. You need to have a Cricut paper cutting machine and Sure Cuts A Lot or Make-The-Cut software. This Zip also contains an .SVG file you can print out and use as a template for cutting by hand. | |||

a small

Rich Waugh
to show the dealer and vulnerability
on any board. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot use boards 1-3 for boards 37-39 ─ the dealer and vulnerability are incorrect. |
