Option 3: How to Implement PBN file on Q-plus

How to download a PBN file from BMB website and then upload a PBN file to Q-Plus software.

You can use the PBN file that you can download from the ‘Big Seminar’ page each time a new ‘Big Seminar’ comes out.

The PBN file is used to download and load the hands on to your own piece of software. Bernard’s videos illustrate the Set Hands using the Q-plus software and there is a video that shows how to load the hands on to Q-plus software in our Q-plus Help Videos. However, it should be just as easy to put the hands on other bridge software.
