PeterAlan Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 It is Hand 19. The interesting follow-up is this. On the website results the correct par score (+200) is given. However, the printout gave the par score as -100. Presumably this means that either different programs were used or different versions of the same program. Unfortunately I cannot tell you what software the club uses - perhaps Gerben knows though as he is sometimes the TD there.Thanks, Zel. The error seems to be the one you've highlighted in your later post, where you've corrected what you said in your first (the print-out seems to me to be showing the "par" score as +100 to N/S, ie the same sign as, but different score from, that shown on the traveller (+200)). The format of the printout isn't one I'm familiar with, and I guess that the problem lies in the software used to produce the web-page print-out, whatever that may be. It doesn't seem to have the same origin as the other cases discussed in this thread. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Found one in a club game I played in last night. Hand 5. Par should be 100 for EW 6♣x-1, but it's given as 300 for EW 5♠x-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the hand records sheet, it looks like it was the [bOS /] DupSoft stuff that goes with Duplimate machines, but I've run the hands through the latest release (DupSoft v5.44) and that gets it right. As noted above, this has had various bug fixes, and your club's release may be a version or two back. It's still not perfect however - we had a case the other day where the optimum contract was (correctly) identified as 4♣ for +130; however, it was printed as 4CX for 130. That one's still with them. By the way, if you do decide to upgrade note that the latest BOS release (package v7.01) has a rather different front-end from the previous version - I'd try it out on a test rig first to see what it's like. It's possible, by selective file copying, to update just the DupSoft executable, if you want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I sent email to the club director as well, he said he needs to download the latest Duplimate software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
