12. Select a hand and click “Play” if you want to bid the hand. Click “Replay” if you want the auction and lead loaded, and you begin to play/defend right away. You are given an option of which chair to sit in and the hand will appear. Enjoy!

Before you start playing, set up the your bidding system and signaling agreement. This setting will be remembered, so you don't have to do it every time you start Shark Bridge.

1. In Shark Bridge, go to Settings. Go over the NS/EW Bidding System and Signaling. Talk to your teacher if you need to make any adjustments for the provided faults.
2. Close the settings screen. The robots now know how to do what they did in class when you replay the hands.
3. Go to Personal Deal Library or Classroom hands section of Shark and replay the hands found in your Sharefile account.

Note: Once you download the set of hands once, then the Lesson folder of hands will appear in your “Personal Deal Library” for later review.
