Welcome to EBUScore
EBUScore is a suite of Duplicate Bridge Scoring programs.
It is a rebranded version of the popular Jeff Smith suite of scoring software - Pairs Scorer, Teams Scorer and so on - and will be available in its new form from October 1st 2015. For a while, the programs will look very similar to the Jeff Smith programs. Nothing fundamental will change.
Should my club switch to EBUScore?
Up until October, and for a short overlap period, the Jeff Smith programs can be downloaded from http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~jasmith/download.htm
From 1st October, the software will be available free to EBU-affiliated clubs and counties, and can be downloaded via the new Members Area (a.k.a. 'My EBU').

The Suite consists of five independent scoring programs:
- EBUScore Pairs - for scoring normal 'Duplicate Pairs' sessions -
the bread and butter of most bridge clubs
- EBUScore Teams - for scoring normal 'Multiple Teams' events
- EBUScore Swiss Pairs
- EBUScore Swiss Teams
- EBUScore Individual
For many bridge clubs, the 'Pairs' program is all that they will need, though quite a few clubs run occasional Teams events.
