  • You could try importing the original XML file into BBOtoXML. If it shows the missing pair you should be able to delete it on the BBOtoXML import screen, then save as a CSV, go back to the main screen and create a new XML from the saved CSV. Delet…

  • Yes it is. The procedure is:

    1. Use BBO Extractor chrome extension to extract the BBO session results into a CSV file.
    2. Export the face to face session from EBUScore as an XML file
    3. Merge the two events in BBOtoXML
  • The more recent versions of EBUScore include BridgePal as one the options in the "Table Top Unit" dropdown list. If BridgePal is not shown in your version of EBUScore you can still use BridgePal if you select Bridgemate as the table top unit.

  • I believe Tunbridge Wells bridge club trialled Bridge+More recently, you could try contacting them.

    Just wondered if you've considered BridgePal, which also runs on android tablets ? I should state up front that I'm the developer (together with my wife Mirna). It's completely free of charge, is used by about 85 english clubs and abo…

  • I have now released BBOtoXML version 2.0.0, which supports import of Swiss Teams events with triangles and generation of masterpoints. It also supports import of Teams, Swiss Teams, and Swiss Pairs events with non-barometer movements, i.e. face t…

  • As a result of email exchanges with Jeremy I've been looking into what is involved in supporting Triangles in BBOtoXML. It is not as difficult as I expected, so I plan to go ahead with this. This should also mean that Teams events with non-barome…

  • This issue has now been resolved. BridgePal Server and Scorebridge had been configured with conflicting settings for "Name Source".

  • Hi Annie,

    Are you representing Alsager bridge club ? If so, I have been exchanging several emails with Jean over the last couple of weeks but have not made any progress as her responses do not provide answers to the questions I have asked…

  • We actually have a number of clubs who migrated from BridgeTabs to BridgePal

  • Speaking as the co-developer of BridgePal (together with my wife Mirna) I obviously can't give you an independent viewpoint. However, I don't think you will find another tablet based scoring system that is more robust/reliable than BridgePal. In …

    Just to clariify - BBOtoXML has the facility to combine Teams of Four into Teams of Eight on its import screen even if it is a single session. You have to identify a pair of Teams to be combined by means of a checkbox next to the team …

  • Yes, boards 19 to 21 will show in the combined results. The matchpoints for those boards will be adjusted using the Neuberg formula since they have been played fewer times than boards 1 to 18. Also, if the movement in one section was single winne…

  • I have released v1.3.13 of BBO Extractor to help address the retrieval problems that have occurred since yesterday. Browsers will eventually update to this version automatically but you can hasten the update by closing all browser windows and rel…

  • I've done a bit of checking. BridgePal does not record the scores for the travellers in the wireless database shared with EBUScore, but does record the number of tricks made. Therefore EBUScore calculates the scores based on the contract, vulnera…

  • I suspect you didn't leave EBUScore displaying the "BridgePal Scoring" screen while the event was running. EBUScore only polls the wireless database for new scores while this screen is on display. As you say, clicking on Read All Results would tr…

  • The USEBIO XML spec does not include an element for total matchpoints. Therefore the totals are calculated by Bridgewebs , by summing the matchpoints from individual traveller lines. The sum is displayed to 2 decimal places, but as the matchpoint…

  • Chrome requires the user to grant permission for a particular website to use the camera. The first time the website is accessed Chrome will prompt the user to "Allow" or "Block" access to the camera. It could be that the user has accidentally or …

  • Thanks. The issue is actually in BBOtoXML, not BBO Extractor. There will be be a new release of BBOtoXML in the next few days, to support Individuals, plus one or two other enhancements. We'll include a correction for the masterpoints in that rel…

  • The XML file produced by EBUScore for UMS upload is a USEBIO file. It contains full traveller information and can be uploaded to Bridgewebs, as well as to the EBU. EBUScore also has a specific interface for Bridgewebs upload but this is via a CSV…

    I should qualify this statement by saying that, when Neuberg is not selected, BBOtoXML only uses the BBO style of non-Neuberg scoring that I described above if the event was run on BBO and has not been merged with anot…

  • You can tell whether the Neuberg option was selected in BBOtoXML by looking at the software version number under the ranking list on BridgeWebs. If there is a lowercase "n" after the version number, e.g. 1.3.10/w1.6.5n, then that means that Neube…

  • @patricks, This issue has now been fixed in Bridgewebs, and the results displays of your two GCBA League events have been corrected. There is no need to re-upload the XML file…

  • @patricks, I've taken a look at a different merged match, so there is no need for you to send me those files. The ranking display is definitely wrong. As you, say the team num…

  • We did change the pair numbering in anticipation of a need to be able to handle teams of more than 2 pairs, but I wouldn't have thought that would cause the problem. Please could you email me the following and we'll take a look:

    The CSV f…

    Indeed, that would make life a lot simpler !

    My previous post was intended to address that, though I may not have expressed it clearly. I meant the Robot pair would be omitted from the ranking list in the EBU UMS version of the XML file, if generated, but the traveller lines woul…

    In that case we may have to generate a different copy of the XML file for UMS upload, if Robot pairs have been removed from the ranking list. We are trying to move away from producing separate files for Bridgewebs and UMS. In the lates…
