Thanks for the input. My query is whether it is right to judge the winners via normal Mitchel movement where only 60% of boards are played commonly? What is the bench mark? How is it handled in the other clubs world over if such situation arises? Thanks in advance. Arun.

Our club games happen twice a week. MP scoring is employed. We normally have 16 to 18 tables on play and our directors use simple Mitchel movement for deciding the winners. Total boards in play will be between 32 to 36 [2 boards per Round]but due to time constrain only 22 or 24 boards[11 to 12 rounds]are played and the winner is announced! Is this the right approach in MP/IMP scoring where we do not play 10 to 14 boards in common? Can the parity be achieved among participants while scoring? Experts who run the club events may throw some light on the subject and give suitable suggestions please. Arun.

Dear Fred, I am one of the avid users of BBO Windows client software for playing Bridge. I almost live there day in day out. There are few things I would love to have as an option. In the Main Bridge Club, while starting the table, I have a choice to get deals from Vugraph archives. But I am not able to fetch latest deals in to that. It has a default that shows 2000 spingold match. That's all. Can this be addressed as has been done in the web version. Also is it possible to have the option of setting pre played deals for Team matches? The current version is 5.2.21. Can we expect some update in the near future? I thank you for providing this wonderful platform to play, watch and learn Bridge at no cost! :) Keep it going!♥ Arun, India.
