Bridgemate Wireless Scoring

Bridgemates are a new and exciting innovation in the world of bridge scoring. With the Bridgemate system there's a small keypad on each table which replaces conventional travellers.

North enters each board's results on the keypad and East verifies it. The result is then instantly transmitted to a base unit attached to the scoring computer where it is immediately included in the competition result. You can even watch the competitors' positions evolve as the session progresses.

An additional licence is required to use Duplicate Scorer's Bridgemate interface but UK users may be elligible to receive this free of charge. The most important requirement is that you must not have had any prior contact with Bridgemate UK in order to qualify for the free Bridgemate feature licence. For more details, click on the Licencing menu and choose Bridgemate Licence.

With Duplicate Scorer and Bridgemate you get:

• Seamless integration. Just two menu selections (choose movement and start Bridgemate session) then forget about the scoring until the results come out.
• Continuously updated results table (just minimise the window if you don't want players to see it).
• Competition Timer (part of the Club Option Pack) offers optional auto-switching - displaying the clock during playing periods and the results-so-far between rounds.
• If you have used the Club Option Pack to set up a membership database, members can "sign on" to a Bridgemate unit at the start of the session - so you don't even need to type in the competitors' names.
• Full Director override of Bridgemate results if necessary.
• Automatic inclusion of contract details in results reports.

If you have the Club Option Pack, you also get Virtual Mate - an extra virtual Bridgemate table unit if you have a battery failure or don't have enough table units to go round.
