Both the solutions will work. I have loaded in the wrong hands and replaced them with the right ones reckoning if it worked it was going to be quicker than starting again. Also changing the BCS setting in EBUScore general works although you will …

As you have 2 computers and 2 Bridgemate servers all that matters is that the two servers (and of course the associated Bridgemates) are on different chanels. Everything else is entirely for your convenience.

In Kent we have the opposite problem we are having to turn people away as venues fill up.
When they think of large counties people obviously think of Yorkshire but Ken is not small geographically. From where I live if I drive for an hour at… -
What you have said about how the event runs sounds right. As for the sitting out twice. If I am allowing pairs into the triple more than once I make a note of each pair which sits out (you can look back in thee results to find this but I find kee…

So long as the bridgemates and the server are on the same channel I have never had any problem using any chanel except when two servers in the same buildinghave been using the same chanel.
If it is serval different bridgemates having the …

There are two possible ways of getting at the .pbn which has been uploaded to Bridgewebs.
Firstly if you log in as administrator and llook at the event under the 'Calendar' tab and go down to the hands section you should see a file name.There is an article https://ebu.co.uk/newsletters/?id=44&page=13 which explains the process and despite what it says in the final paragraph BBO have not made ch…
If you are using two sets because you only use about half your Bridgemates for most events and you want to equalise use I am sure you would find it much quicker to reconfigure your Bridgemates, say, once a month than to fiddle with the scoring pr…
Just going back to Gordon's original answer. I am pretty sure thathe pairs playing half the boards get 7VPs out of 10 (rather than all 10) for the boards they do not play plus the score that they actually get out of 10 VPs on the boards they do …
I think Robin was suggesting that to start with you give them a 'carried forward' adjustment of 30 VPs when assining say their first 3 rounds on Saturday and then reduce it to their actual 'carry forward'. Of course you would need to explain this…
Law 12 sets out the procedures in awarding adjusted scores. What part of Law 12 empowers the director to award one side an adjusted score (albeit in this case their actual score) and the other side an artificial adjusted score i.e. AV+? I do not …
email john@johngoacher.co.uk who wrote BBO to XML he is very helpful
In the case of an opening lead out of turn before giving the putative declarer their 5 options I generally say, "The decision is yours alone. You may not consult your partner in any way". Perhaps I need to say that in situations like this as well…
'Bridge Composer' which is $20 shareware has a facility to merge PBN files. Did you not deal these extra boards at the same time as the main sets so that they are already in the PBN file? However you would normally have at least 2 different sets …
I think my understanding is correct but there are other people on this forum who can put me right if I am wrong.
When a score is entered in a Bridgemate it is recorded in 5 places:
1. It is held in the individual Bridgemate
2.…'Either a good 22 to 24 balanced or a strong one- or two-suited hand but less than game-forcing' Simply do not open non-strong hands with a Benji 2 Clubs
As some one who plays Benji a fair bit I find that my non-balanced 2 Club bids are more often two-suited rather than single-suited. These also more likely to fit into the new definition of strong. So I say:
'Either a good 22 to 24 balanced …I think that the English alerting rules for Doubles are probably the best in the world. The reason that they have remained as they are is that it is not possible to have a set of rules with fewer requirements for alerts across all pairs other tha…
I certainly know of one bridge teacher who tells her pupils that the stop card makes sure your partner realises that you have jumped and was most upset when I ran a RealBridge session with screens so that players could not see partner's stop card…
(Quote)In the new chart please put all the announcements relating to transfer response to a short club on pages 3 and 4. Perhaps just add a note to the rules about short club saying "if you also play transfer responses to a short club please …
If you are in England the club is the Regulating Authority for its events so it can say that both events or neither event can consult their system cards.
However of much more of concern as far as fairness goes is the comparative sizes of …
The problem is that the new additions clutter up the rules with stuff which most players do not understand. If they are too long and they do not understand them it is less likely they will buy into them and follow them. We run the real risk of pl…
@ais253 I agree many people do not follow the alerting rules for doubles because they do not understand them. We have made them as simple as possible. It is certainly better tha…
I am aware of the arguments for announcements over alerts in common situations such as stayman and red suit transfers over 1NT where an alert now means that it is something different to that which would be announced. However in most clubs if some…
I think the new announcing rules for transfer responses to a short Club risk the general acceptance of announcing in clubs because they clutter and confuse the rules for the 90% of players who have never heard of transfer responses to a short cl…
Everybody only gets one score on Board 3. The two pairs who played it get the score they actually obtained when they played it. Even though the pairs against whom they should have played it get AV+ the pairs who played it in error do not get AV-…
I think the situation is clear. If the director determines that the presumed declarer did indeed play to the first trick and was not trying to put down his hand as dummy then 54B1 applies and although dummy should have been faced before this play…
Martin's solution is the best if you have multiple copies of the boards. Most importantly of course it allows the production of cross-imp scores so that you can 'prove' who was the best pair. If you only have one set of boards I have a movement y…
