  • Hi randhl2
    To obtain the pbn file name from Bridgewebs go to the results page select the session/event you want to check and then select "Hands" which is above the ranks of participants on the right side next to "Travellers".
    You now …

  • I think you can stand up straight now Robin LOL!
    Perhaps you could rename the "Annoucing and Alerting Summary" to "Announcing and Alerting Epic". Altough I do hope that any changes will reduce the summary by at least two pages. Ah! well we …

  • Hi Tony
    Have a look at section 2.9.3 of the EBU Licensing and Master Points Handbook 2022 (interim version).
    Point 1: yes you appear to be correct
    Point 2: the club can set up the non-members as members whilst up-loading the res…

  • I have been thinking about this and I am unsure as to what can be done. On one hand I can see there might be some merit. However, having said that I do wonder about "It still seems just as unfair". I don't think we can assume that something need…

  • Thank you both. Sorry Jeremy that seems to be the bain of my life recently as well. Had an even number the other day and two pairs dropped out but 3 more pairs joined unexpectedly. Throws all plans out the window. Hope it all works out for you.

  • Hi JeremyChild

    Could you give feedback on how the "triangle" worked (i.e. pitfalls or oddities). I have done swiss pairs at the club but that was with an equal number of pairs and people enjoyed it. So any info would help.

    Many th…

    This allows adjustments eg procedural or disciplinary penalties, Carry Forward scores etc. that cannot…

  • Doh! Got you, thanks for that. Didn't think long enough

  • Hi Stevemap

    Sounds like a plan, thanks for the input. Is there a reason to pull different boards in the two rounds? Just interested in case I am asked.

  • Hi weejonnie
    Sorry I got mixed with sessions and sections.
    Page 13 of the manual says " There is one difference for Set BCS Options.
    If you want the results from both sections to be shown on the Bridgemates

  • Hi, weejonnie
    First the files for uploading. Once the automatic process of the bridgewebs file is complete (Page 11 of the EBUScore manual [www.ebu.co.uk › documents › ebuscore › manual]) the files are stored at C: EBUScore > Pairs and …

  • Thanks Robin. Use the "User defined arrow switch" from the begining. Would it be "overkill" (forgive the inference) to leave the final round arrow switched as well? I can already hear the complaints "changing direction again!" The Movements boo…

  • Hi both thanks for that. Yes I was worried about the "Switch" aspect skewing the results. We mainly have to play a Hesitation Mitchell because of the number of sitters (yes we could do a straight Mitchell but that doesn't give a bit of variety).…

  • Hi Jonathan

    We use NatWest. They have a community/club account under business, have a look at

  • Hi Pont. I understand where you are coming from and agree with your final sentence "" Do I teach him/her just how to run a movement or a movement and some simple rulings or what?"". It is, for a number of people, a very big step going from being …

  • For the first question I have had a quick play on a result for a two winner session. EBUScore allows you to do an arrow switch (see the EBUScore Manual page 29) even when the event isn't to be arrow switched. Whether this is correct procedure I …

  • Had a similar problem solved it by going into "Bridgemate Control Software" click "Tools" Click "options" click "general" click the tab "File locations" and then look at the "BMPlayerDB.mdb data base file" and make sure it is directed to the fil…

  • Thank you Gordon. Can see the merit in doing that. That helps understand.
    I think Weejonnie should keep them in the brig for a bit longer though.

  • Hi have looked at the hand and given Gordon's suggestion I am not sure how the end result attained will be changed, or that it will make much difference. I assume from Gordon's comment that E/W "were taking advantage of the laws in ways that are…

  • This one has me puzzled. From the info given how do we decide who gets the bread and who gets the water? Weejonnie hasn't said who the "by a player" was, so how do we decide " which players were taking advantage of the laws in ways that are perce…

  • Totally off the wall (and you have probably already thought of this) but at what point did you "import" the deal files. It isn't clear on the EBUScore manual but I assume from the pictures that the two sessions need to be imported on the "merged"…

  • Yep can see board 18 for weejonnie and 22 for vixtd multiple times. Don't ask me why. Just thought you needed some sort of acknowledgement to keep the thread going. You might need to compare how you set up the combine and how the the combine repo…

  • Having read Robins' point about "faced" I just wonder if "revealed" might lead to some misunderstandings and perhaps the amendment should be "and dummy has been spread, they have passed." Noting that Law 41 D uses "spreads" rather than "reveals".…

    Hi Gordon
    Ok Thanks for the update. So assume that any changes summary will show "revealed" rather than "faced" to avoid confusion.

  • Ok I will start the ball rolling. This is one of those questions that requires a lot of thought. First off do they want a "free" set up or are they willing to pay? If they look on-line for free Accounting software for clubs/associations they wil…

  • Hi weejonnie
    I think this might have been aswered on the Thread on Bridgewinners. However, 40B2d should cover it "Unless the Regulating Authority provides otherwise a player is not entitled to any aids to his memory, calculation or techniqu…

  • Yes very odd, there is no reference to 54B
    I also note that the Booklet "Bridge Rules Simplified" by David Stevenson talks about "condoning the opening lead" refering to "spreading the hand" or by dummy also spreading their hand but nothin…

  • Yep can see what Paul means about 54B. It does refer to Law 53
    Law 53A it says "It becomes a correct lead if declarer or either defender, as the case may be, accepts it by making a statement to that effect, or if a play is made from the han…

  • How about law 41. If the lead is condoned by the presumed declarer and is treated as in law 60 A 2
    "Once the right to rectification has been forfeited, the illegal play is treated as though it were in turn". So now we go to Law 41 and the…
