Meet a new pair. Open their card. Find the agreement you need.
SystemCard is being developed to turn a partnership's confirmed bridge agreements into both a printable convention card and a clear digital view for opponents.
Why it helps
At major events, players may receive convention cards before play so that they can study their opponents' agreements and prepare when necessary.
SystemCard is designed to keep those agreements clear, current and easy to access.
At an ordinary club session, partnerships may meet several new opponents during the same evening.
Players cannot be expected to know every unfamiliar system or convention in advance. A digital card makes the opponents' agreements easier to open and check when the round begins.
SystemCard is designed especially to make convention cards more accessible in everyday club bridge. It may also be used in higher-level competition where permitted.
Requirements and permitted use depend on the rules of the event.
Two formats
A structured paper version that can be printed and used when a physical convention card is required.
Printable format - planned exampleA clear screen version that opponents can open on a phone, tablet or computer through a link or QR code.
Live today - see examples belowThe two formats are intended to be based on the same confirmed partnership agreements, although their visual presentation may differ.

Use the cards below to see how partnership agreements can be presented in different languages and bridge traditions.
These cards are illustrative examples. They are not official system standards, recommendations or approvals from national bridge federations.
What SystemCard is becoming
The planned SystemCard service will make it easier for partnerships to create and maintain their convention card without preparing separate paper and digital documents.
Start with an existing convention card, choose a system close to what you play, or describe your partnership agreements.
Check the information and make sure it describes what the partnership actually plays.
Receive a printable card together with a digital opponent view, link and QR code.
Updates made later are intended to keep the printable and digital versions aligned.
