I just checked and the latest EBUScore does not plant the PLAYED_BY (or LEAD or CONTRACT or TRICKS) for pass. You can check that the file is syntactically correct by the validation tab at: http://…

The underlying problem is that EBUScore assumes an even number of 'tables'. I have already sent the fix (round up tthe NS+EW pairs) to Jonathan for the next version. Meantime, you will need to manually change the XML to 13 13 (rather than 12 13) …

At present it would not export the play data.

In reply to Patrick's question, the NGS seems incredibly important to some people and when planning our online events, we are forever tinkering with 6+ and 8+ and Jack and below etc in classifying our entry criteria. Whether it is a real reflecti…

That's great Patrick, but my understanding is that Adobe end support for Flash at end of year?

John is right - I have already flagged this with the EBU staff, that It just needs a minor update of tags in the downloaded DTD file to process the XML with the play data. I have my own private updated DTD version which handles both XML types an…
-
The problem is that John Goacher includes the Bid & Play Data for the Bridgewebs version in an element LIN_DATA, but the DTD for Usebio does not have a declaration for that element - hence the XML load fails! So you can only import from the …

Following Martins point, I was asked on the same matter about a recent situation in the EBU lockdown tourney, where the player self alerted a call and when asked, kept saying 'No Agreement' ! ! Would that be an acceptable answer given that the p…

Neuberg takes account of boards played a different number of times using a bayesian formula where you may end up with fractional matchpoints. Simple is just 2/1/0 so you ar not allowing for boards with less/more comparisons. Neuberg is a world st…

I dont know whether i would help but, when you install the program, a file (PSClubMovements.txt or TSClubMovements.txt) of 'recommended' club movements is automatically downloaded. This is a much more user friendly list suitable for standard clu…

In BCS program, Tools > Database > Database Editor > Section > Scoring Type
1 = pairs, 2= butler (imps), 3 = Ximps, 4 = Teams (Ximps with only 2 results)It would be useful if the Update Movement button was enhanced to …

I have just realised that the problem is that you have got 'Start Table' ticked. Because there is no movement information in the csv file, it's impossible to know the start table positions! If you untick that box, the names should appear.

Gwynn has sorted this now. The Security Certificate for Bridgewebs sites came up for renewal but had taken a few days for the supporting Bridgewebs ISP to get round to applying for a new certificate. This issue has happened befiore and will likel…

This is an old and well known issue - You are advised NOT to use a DropBox because of the contention with BM scores being planted there at the same time as the DropBox management runs! Roughly speaking, the technical issue revolves around using A…
-
I have not yet checked, but the cause is almost certainly that the csv file doesnt have any movement information. and the Names list needs that information for number of tables, missing pairs etc In general, reverse engineering from bridgewebs is…

On the Event Details > Scoring screen, tick the butler datums box and set the scores via the Set Fixed Butler Datums button..

Robin - I dont think you can currently 'Add Tables' in the BCS Update Movement, though it would be a simple update for Jonathan to allow that (Needs Section Table updating which currently isnt done). It was always assumed you would restart the m…

You are right! There are a few clubs who have done manuals and one of the most useful is Tony Howarth's for the WBU:

If you are asking for an opinion, then my own preference would always be Bridgemate, but I understand Bridgetab can work well (and is cheaper) however my warning would be the clunkiness of using BOS and difficulty of getting any compregensible su…

Sadly, I doubt there is an easy solution on this one...Automated program Emails with that many recipients is rather deprecated these days! You should get people to go to your website for results which should have a far more user friendly look and…

Correct. I was advised to add the SessionTable creation to 1.2.x (for user control of ShowInApp). It looks like it needs Time field setting.

Hi Mark,
Nice but there are some caveats on Arrowsitching. This is to do with renumbering the pairs from standard to switched Mitchell.If a round is switched, it becomes a one winner movement, so each pair needs a unique number. Th…
-
The 'Line Move' is 'Retain Position for all Sessions' as it refers only to the Team movement (and not to the player positions).. To change the Blue EW, Yellow NS you do that manually on the 'Seating Lineup'. Quickest way is to set for Session 2 R…

The database is stored in a file in a folder called 'Databases' in the installation folder. For a multi session event, it will be named as
Eventdd-S1-mmmdd-yyyy.bws for session 1
Eventdd-S2-mmmdd-yyyy.bws for session 2 etc etc… -
This was by design in the Swiss Programs. It coild be included. I think the design thinking was that Swiss events were not often used, so the default order button was less useful.
Note there is a Compress Event List button which order in …

There is a Show Names button on the main Bridgemate Scoring screen which produces a Notepad file that you could print.
-
I hadnt realised the rounding issue on the 0.5 boundary. I recall the White Book advised rounding scores away from average. Note also, there is a change with 'divide by 0.7' for this Ximps root2 type of scoring in the new WB, which I dont think h…

This facility for Ranks + Assigns is not suitable for Email but is already available if set by the Scorer to either a webpage or Bridgewebs page. It is already used in Irish swiss compeitions which can be very large (50+ tables).
-
As Stan rightly explains, the Update has not affected the data already received in EBUScore (and the database (bws) file is intact).
The Synchronise/Recover is actioned directly through BCS (‘Session’; Synchronise/Recover’; ‘Recovery’). … -
The location of BMPlayerDB.mdb for use by BCS (and hence Bridgemates) can be set by Bridgematte Scoring > Admin > Set Lookup File Location. (It is NOT set by the Set BCS Options). When I run an event at other clubs, I always ensure that I e…
