Sometimes I have noticed that in free tables, the score is incorrectly assigned to the opposing pair.
another question: is it possible to review the hands played in daily tournaments without having to wait for the end of the tournament?

i would like to see a few examples of this. do you have some which you can share?

> is it possible to review the hands played in daily tournaments without having to wait for the end of the tournament?

you can review the hands while you play, but you can't look at what the other tables have done.
you can see everything only after the daylong tournament has ended.

At free tables, the score columns are We and They for the players, but NS and EW for kibitzers. When you switch between playing and kibitzing, it may seem that the scores are incorrectly awarded since the two styles are mixed together.

Which is part of an inconsistency that has been pointed out for decades.
Could you not simply abandon We/They and score NS/EW for players, kibitzers and all kinds of tournaments?
Reporting the NS/EW score as "NS -300" rather than "-300" would help too.

Most people are used to We/They scoring on their personal score sheets in real life. This has been traditional for decades.

Okay, but why do we still have scores in team games shown as "We" for NS and "They" for EW? This is simply incorrect for the EW pair!

Hi Everyone! We need your help!

We are looking for a software for our local club, that works on a phone or tablet and replaces the manual scoring of hands in pairs tournaments (Mitchell and Howell evaluation types), and provides live scoring tarckings.

The software runs on a handheld device placed on the table. The first players record the hand and the score, and the other players record the subsequent scores.

Is there an app that works like Bridge Mate?

Thx for your suggestions in advance!

good question, perhaps a new thread would be useful
