Howell movements ( 11:25:11 TueFeb 4 2003 )

I wonder if anyone can help me please?

I want to be able to compose Howell movements from scratch, but I cannot find a formula or instruction about doing this. I know I can look up various publications to find movements already created, or I can look in my club's movements folder for ready-made movements. Somebody, somewhere, must have the answer about making them up instantly!

I've compsed a few Howell movements in the past, but certainly not instantly!

The ACBL score has a large number of various movements.

Tell me what movement you're looking for, and maybe I can find it for you.

I think one of my books may have some information on this. I'll have to do a little research and get back to you.

I have been constructing movements as a hobby for nearly forty years. I used some alternative movements at my own bridge clubs, and several are in use in Sacramento today. I could answer any questions regarding methods for devising Howells.

Ted,

What I think the original poster was looking for, and what I haven't found in my library yet, is a simple description of the basics of contructing a Howell movement, so that one could construct such a movement, for any number of tables, from first principles. If you could do that, it would be much appreciated. :biggrin:
