Thank you, that is extremely useful.

Interesting you should say so. I know of a recent case where there was a 'significant' delay (8 sec with the average being 2-4) in playing a card owing to a mouse disappearing. The opponent (declarer) claimed their inference from the change in te…

Thank you very much indeed! Just what I needed.

Thank you Gordon. Next question, I have never come across a USEBIO file except with RealBridge, don't know the format, I am afraid. Does EBUScore generate a USEBIO file? I know it does produce an .xml file (for UMS submission) and one for uploadi…

The problem solved on importing to EBUScore and marking the robots as missing. Thank you Robin. Easier than editing the xml file!

I thought I was doing that; I edited the XML file and changed the robots' score from +39.5 to -39.5 (an adjustment of -79 imps). I also changed the ranks of all the pairs and the master points to reflect the new ranking. But I left th…

I had that happen to me in the first event I was directing. They phoned me. Fortunately, there was a half table. I muttered a prayer, put in two robots, and asked the bounced pair to volunteer as substitutes. As soon as they appeared I…

That could lead to a law suit in some clubs! I think the 'ideal solution' would be TV cameras or electronic recording of each bid and card played, so that there is irrefutable evidence of time taken by each player. It happens in chess,…

I suppose with a Howell movement, if a table is late finishing a round, it affects 3 tables in the next round. If they don't catch up, this can escalate in subsequent rounds until the whole room is affected; so the TD has to take boards away to s…

Thanks Robin. Could I have the file please? What exactly is involved in entering the movement into EBUScore? Do I have to enter the assignments for each round explicitly or can your file be integrated into the system?
-
Thanks. Plugging in the numbers is what I was too lazy to do! No help for it. I must find out.

I have a related question. Manning in his 1979 paper explores the idea of 'amount of competition' in movements. He concentrates mainly on the Mitchell and the arrow switched Mitchell. Does anyone know if there has been any later work including Ho…

I need to install Bridgemate control software on to my laptop for scoring an event in a sports hall. I already have EBUScore on my laptop and the Bridgemate server will be provided. Can someone tell me what files I need to download and provide a…

Absolutely right. I am sure the subcommittee will have this in place for the next league.
-
Thank you all for your comments. They were very helpful; we will put in place and publish clear rules to cover these situations in the future.

A couple of TDs have expressed the view that all results for the no show pair should be scrapped, making it a 15-pair all play all situation. What is the expert opinion on that, please?
-
So what is the solution?
-
Just to clarify - the first session was played by one pair, the second session by a scratch pair who agreed to help, and in the the third session, all matches were scored 12-8. Players have expressed concern that including these scores randomises…
