13 | <p>A few simple web-based utilities for contract bridge players. They | |

24 | <h2>Dealing lists</h2> | |
25 | ||
26 | <p>Shuffling cards is tedious, and if you don’t do it enough, you | |
27 | get less interesting hands than you ought to. Instead, get | |
28 | a randomly generated <a href="/ucgi/~mdw/deal">list</a> of piles to deal | |
29 | the cards in. Each list is a randomly generated partition of the 52 | |
30 | cards into four hands of 13 cards each. | |
31 | ||
32 | <p>You should still shuffle the cards a bit before dealing in order to | |
33 | prevent any really clever players from being able to work out the hands | |
34 | based on the old order of the cards and the dealing list. | |
35 | ||
36 | <p>If you’re going to be away from the net, you may find it useful | |
37 | to print a <a href="/ucgi/~mdw/deal/sheet">sheet</a> of many deals. | |

40 | <h2>Hand generator</h2> | |
41 | ||
42 | <p>If you have a spare moment, then why not spend it staring at a | |
43 | randomly generated <a href="/ucgi/~mdw/deal/hand">bridge hand</a>? The | |
44 | link on each page can be used to share interesting hands with others. | |
