I'm looking for a tool to learn our bidding system:
A tool in which we can enter all our conventions or bidding sequences and that could then be used on your own to verify your knowledge of the system. The tool generates a bidding sequence (with or without intervention) and you can then enter a bid a the tools tells you what it means.
(And ideally a tool that can be used alone or with a partner over the internet)
Does anyone have a tool like this or has suggestions for a tool that can be used?

There's the HCS System Notebook, for Windows. It's not as easy to use as it could be, but it's the only one of its kind, as far as I'm aware. BTW, there are some links to reviews (ACBL, The Bridge World) at the bottom of that page I linked.

Go through your system and extract the stuff you are at serious risk of forgetting. Put it all on one page and just memorize that page. If it doesn't fit on one page, make your system simpler. You can add back the more complex stuff later.

Thanks all for the answers
(Full Disclosure would actually be a good tool for this, if it would be possible to hide the bid descriptions and only show them when rolling over the bid)

The "tool" you need is bid-em-ups. I am sure there is a large collection of them somewhere on the internet, but I don't know where.
