Would it be possible to provide the file in a PDF or Word format - as Bridgewebs does not accept jpeg files .
I have had a few players ask about alerts and announcements and it would he helpful to publish on the club web site if that is …

This is a bit unspecific as usually the message is clearer
It sounds as if the card has not gone through the roller - rather than not being sensed when dropping in the board
The reasons I have found for no feed , but have not had …

We use Lenovo tablets -when bought they were about £10 more than Fire- happy with them
After buying a replacement dealing machine and upgrading BOS to suit the new dealing machine I found that some tablets would not connect (about 2 or …

I was one of the clubs raising the question with EBU club liaison officer hence the thread. The reason for the query being that our club treasurer is changing and we were wondering whether to change from excel to a software package .

Hi Triffid
.I have not used (spotted ) this option before - under "Club Preferences" - "Scoring Preferences" and will try it out - it may save time loading deals into the calendar -, The instruction from the Help page are :

Hi VixTD
I am not aware of any issues. The method we use is as follows , Bridgewebs releases the deal file after inputting the scores, but the deal file is added to the calendar at the time of dealing.In BOS after dealing, sele…

Difficult to give firm advice - can only relay my own experience
We have a 2005 Mk IV bought new which was serviced locally (UK) over the years when things went wrong - typically miscounts - probably every 2/3 years - the machine is still…

Re the Northampton web page - there is no underline in the word doc or on the web page - however there is coloured text that may show as underline .
Please let me know if you spot any errors in the text . Original doc can be supplied.

Hi Trevor
I suspect at home there are not nearby routers which cause interference with the signal between your tablets and computer router but perhaps in your club premises there are competing router signals
See in We are considering switching to EBUScore and Bridgetabs. Is this a good idea? Comment by rosss December 2019

REF SELECTING SOFTWARE SCORING StanC is right - to select the program press "shift and left click " on scoring program together . You can then select the scoring software and "remember it " if required

Hi Dave
At this stage I cannot be very helpful without checking at the club
- When setting up BOS you are able to set and select the scoring program - however without using the licensed club version of BOS (i.e. checking ) I a…

To add to JeffreyS and StanC choice of system . I feel that both their comments are fair.
We gave up Bridgepads about 3 or 4 years ago due to wear and tear and the need to go to USA for support /parts . When we bought Bridgepads (abou…

We have used Bridgetabs /Bos/ Scorebridge system for about 3 years .
Essential to allow the application, Bridgetabs, through the firewall for both private and public . You have to change the firewall settings see Help/ BT " Commun…

Hi Elizabeth
It sounds as if your club is dependent on one scorer - what happens if he does not show. At our club the committee asks members if they want training in scoring and Directing - there are not many who volunteer - however we …

Just to add my comment on search connectivity is not helpful - but see "BT Admin's IP" on BT admin (only) help page, which has a useful para "Our advice is that you avoid such problems by buying a cheap WiFi router and setting up your own dedicat…

I have not experienced the problem described - however did experience problems with connectivity between the tablets and desktop - which sounds similar - i.e. results / feedback between tablets/PC intermittent via router
The way we overca…

Thanks for comments - I looked at EBUScore about 12 months ago, with a view to using it instead of Scorebridge and thought that if I spent enough time on it I would get into the swing of using it - it would have been a matter of perseverance to …
-
Are you able to comment on the transition from Scorebridge to EBU Scorer . We have about 6 scorers of varying ability using Scorebridge - I have looked at EBUScore but thought the training /changeover would be a bit challenging so have stayed wi…

I am sorry to hear about this occurrence which can pose difficult issues for the club committee . You say the person involved is well liked and I assume the club would wish to keep her as a member. Without knowing the club it is difficult to co…

Hi PeterB001- The North player was fairly inexperienced. At the time he (North) said the partnership had no agreement to play Landy - (hence the failure to alert). When asked why he bid 2S his response was he always shows his major before the mi…
-
Comments are appreciated - especially "shows how difficult judgement calls are to make"
I believe the facts are right, North was clear that they were not playing Landy - and would add
South plays Landy with other partners - S…

Good tip on the form of words - I will circulate it to our club directors
We have about 6+ directors - the majority of which are EBU club trained - but no higher.

Thank you for all the comments and advice - probably best to close. As time was moving on I gave a ruling yesterday whose content is probably not 100% right but the outcome is hopefully right. Hopefully players are content.
Although I …

Gordon thanks for comment on diamond split - if 3/3 contract has a fair chance
My decision seems to hinge on whether the explanation of the initial double was correct or not -
If correct - result stands , if not then an adjusted s…

Accepted South should alert (not announce )
E/W thought 2DX would be making - and declarer W was taken aback with the HCPs being with N.
-
Thanks for comment to Abbeybear
You are correct on the layout:- South has 8 HCPs , West has 14 , East 11, and North 7 . On Gordons layout Souths hearts are T862 - (not KT82).
I am coming to the view that the partnership agreeme…
-
Thank you both for your comments - I will try and establish why the South made the bid and come back.
I have taken the "reserve rights" by E/W as a request for a ruling on the result .
Re the explanation provided by North - South …

I use QuickBooks - about 4/5 years ago I bought the software for about £90 - now I think you have to subscribe annually - the advantage of the software is that the auditor can also run it (if needed) . It provides instant P&L and Balance re…

To reduce initial costs you can do a trial with 3 tablets and run a simple Howell test movement on your own. This enables you to get an overall picture and check connectivity and probably give a demo to your committee.
When we have connec…
