  • When you click on Player Database in EBU Score there is a message telling you if you don't have the latest EBU Membership Database.

  • IF using EBUScore Teams, go to BCS options - Bridgemate II. Under Optional Entry there is a tick box for name entry at Home Table. System defaults to name entry after move. You cannot use Names at Home table for some irregular first round moves

  • Never considered that option Jeff, thanks. These are mainly social up here where we play a lot of Teams of 20 events. One team swaps direction after the tea break, so it is easily set up as running two identical sessions in a multi-session event …

  • Yes I understand. Round 8 was arrow-switched, hence pair 11 sat N/S. Either the board was corrected to accept correct lead, or, Inputting score into Scorebridge after event, Declarer should have been South. (assuming E/W hands still switched).

  • After Round 4 the board has been rotated through 180 degrees, hence for table 5, Round 5, table 4, round 6, and table 3, round 8, the hands in BCS did not match the actual hands. The boards sat out for round 7.
    So, for example, 4 v 14, 2S …

  • Could we see the club results on Bridgewebs or other. Is it possible the board loaded into Bcs is slightly different from the actual cards or the hand was misboarded slightly. The first four rounds choosing a lead which matched and the rest choos…

  • Are you sure you have used the option "Bridgemates" rather than "BridgeTabs" on the main results screen under Table Top Units and that the database is pointing to EBU score etc

  • Had the same problem. From memory I think I just renamed all the problem files in the JSS folder and tried again

  • You will know where the board started which will be in a correct form for the rest of the session. Follow it from table to table until you find an unusual score. If leads shown, that will help. Then as Robin said.
    Have you considered uploa…

  • No pitfalls. Works very well. Players may not understand what’s going on, but better than sitting out for 7/8 boards. The “lucky” N/S pair play the full round and two E/W pairs play half a round. Odd numbered board sets in the threesome are round…

    Well done again John. Confident you would come up with a solution:)

  • The problem may be the way the boards are numbered in the triangles. For example using 8 board matches. The triple will use an extra board-set 9-12. Then for Round 2, the main tournament will start with boards 13-20 and the triple extra set, 21-2…

  • The above should read - 5x(3+3+2) board rounds.

  • I've run a 3 session Thurner movement before. Any combination of 3+3+2 rounds breaking after 15, 25, or 30 boards. Table 6 always sharing with their team-mates.

  • I believe the problem is that players register and leave their device logged on, BBO will disconnect after 15 minutes of no key press. As you say the player sees no disconnection on their device. Try and educate players to register early, log off…

  • Puzzled as to why you had a missing team, unless withdrew partway through event.

  • That all worked without a hitch.

  • Those assignments are the ones I've shown for Rounds 1 and 2? The rest are for the other 8 tables. Am I missing something? Your example is only for 2 teams of 8.

  • Oops. Didn't realise it would show picture. Delete if not allowed.

  • Apologies 10839.

    I have amended it for 6 T of 8. Useful for Leagues all playing together. Of course can be amended for any number of tables. My personal announcements plus picture of clubhouse added (before start Round 1). In addition th…

  • You can send it to me Robin. I suspect we have the Home team at tables 1 and 2, Away team at 3 and 4, etc and using big_team_spacing = 1 rather than = 2. Will e-mail separately with address.

  • In EBU Score- Import Event from Main Menu-Next Page-Import from XML File. This will create a new event to do with as you wish. Assume Version 1.26.

  • Did you try importing into EBUScore Pairs. That should solve it. Pretty sure you still need to use code 60 for submission rather than code 20.

  • Code 60 is correct. Did you play at least 36 boards?

  • That discussion probably refers to adding all scores together (aggregate) before Imping (Add then Imp). Look at EBU White Book page 49 for T of 8 scoring (not using Ximps) using Imp the Add.

  • Run the XML file through BBO to XML by J Goacher. There you can change your name to the missing participant, save as a csv, convert back to XML then upload again.

  • Imp the 2 To4 results ,add them together then convert to VPs, using twice the normal scale. So 8 board matches use the 16 board scale etc.

  • Almost a year ago John. I probably spoke to you at the time to point me in the right direction. :)

    Except it gives two scores on the scale of 20-0 to each team of 8 . i.e it scores each round as separate T of 8 whereas BBOtoXML adds all the Imps then VPs, resulting in one score for each team.

    These Teams of 12, 16, 20 etc are best suited for Club/County v Club/County friendly tournaments so may not be much concern about fouled boards etc. I have just set up a 2 teams of 16 event using the new version using RR 2 x half with …
