 +===== Scoring a Teams Event =====
 +
 +Scoring a teams event using EBUScore Teams is almost identical to using EBUScore Pairs.
 +For the most part, you can follow the instructions for [[getting started|Scoring a Pairs Event]].\\
 +Menu items, etc. are very similar, with a few obvious exceptions: 'Teams Events' appears on the main menu rather than 'Pairs Events', but clicking on the button takes you to the similar 'Events List' page.
 +
 +You might need to take note of the following issues:
 +
 +=== Method of Scoring ===
 +Most clubs, for Pairs events, use 'match point' scoring.\\
 +Likewise, for Teams events, they generally use 'IMPs' scoring.  But several alternatives are available.\\
 +For example, depending on the number of boards per round, you might wish to convert IMPs to VPs:\\
 +To check your scoring settings:  On the Event Details screen, when you first create the event, click on the 'scoring' tab, top right.\\
 +As with other settings in this screen, EBUScore will default to what was used last time, but you might wish to save club defaults.
 +
 +=== Seating Lineup ===
 +This is an extra item on the Event Menu.  It is of particular relevance to the [[https://www.ebu.co.uk/documents/miscellaneous/ngs/ngs-for-teams.pdf|NGS]].\\
 +For most Teams events, you will have the North-South players sitting throughout.  But occasionally you might run a 'pivot teams' for example, where some players switch polarity.\\
 +If they do switch, then you need to record this in the 'Seating Lineup' - thus, for the purposes of the NGS, each player will get credited with their own performance and not that of their team-mates!\\
 +If players never switch polarity, you don't need to concern yourself with this feature.\\
 +**HOWEVER**, you may nevertheless need to "Initialise all seating line-ups" on the Seating Lineup screen, just to confirm that the players are seated in what may appear to be the 'obvious' line-up!
 +
 +=== Player Database ===
 +The Teams scoring program runs independently to the Pairs program - it has its own folder & set of data files, etc.
 +By default, it also uses a separate 'Player Database' to the Pairs program.\\
 +However, you can change this.  You will probably find it useful to use the same database for both programs.\\
 +  * From the Main Menu, click on 'Player Database'.
 +  * In the long bar at the top, you see the filename of the Player Database that is currently being used.\\ (This shows that TSMembers.dat in the EBUScore\Teams folder is used)
 +  * Click on 'Change Database', and confirm that you wish to do so.
 +  * Navigate to the C:\EBUScore\Pairs folder; click on 'PSMembers.dat', and 'Open'.
