BridgeMates

There have been huge changes in the way we do things since we got the Bridgemates.

Bridgemates are small wireless tabletop devices that capture the scoring data. It is no longer necessary to have travelling score sheets.

Bob Fearn, the programmer, has adapted the Compass scoring package to interface with not only the Bridgemate system but also the exciting new BridgeTabs (Android Devices) and the older BridgePads.

There are a number of advantages to using these systems:

• There is no need to have a scorer to do the manual input at the end of a session
• Results are available within seconds of the score being entered at the last table to finish playing
• Most scoring errors are eliminated. If the contract, lead and result are entered correctly, the score will be correct
• The system is really easy for players to use
• Corrections to names and scores can be made at the table in playing time
• Totally excellent reports are available - see under the Results tab on this website for examples
• Compass generates this comprehensive suite at the touch of one button
