!DV2STATUS

This will show the current hands in play, their hand number and hand count. This command is run from a table. (Tip: Joining table 55 or higher will prevent your table from being auto-shutdown at the end of a round. If you are not playing and want to keep a table open to run these extra commands, join 55+ to not be hassled with having to reopen.)

!DV2INIT

This initializes the secondary Duplicate System (Dupe 2.0). This is mostly used when a scramble is being run. This command should be run from a table.

!DV2HANDSPERROUND

The DV2INIT needs to be run for this to work, this will set for multi-hand play. Example: !DV2HANDSPERROUND 2

!DV2START

This will auto-start a table that isn't started. This needs to be run from the lobby.

!DV2NEWSCORING

This turns on the "Compass Scoring" system in which north/south will have a winner, and east/west will have a winner. Do not use this command in a scramble format as players may be moved to ANY seat in a scramble and the results could be unpredictable. This needs to be run from the lobby.

!DV2NEGATIVEPOINTS

This toggles off the giving points for negative scores. Use this and prepare for controversy, unless you're hosting Suicide Spades, which is really what this was intended for. This needs to be run from the lobby.

!DV2SETPRESETBID

This command is for setting an event with a preset bid (usually 2 or 3). Example: !DV2SETPRESETBID 2

This command will attempt to start an event and move extra players onto the waitlist. The signup order will be factored in along with their passholder status (non-passholders will be waitlisted first). In addition, players who locked in with a partner will not be eligible for sacrifice. This command will also adjust the number of required players to start and begin the event.
