Introduction

In Danish / På dansk

This case is based on the way many Danish bridge clubs run tournaments. However, the basics in these pages can be used in any bridge club.

The affiliated Danish clubs use the official scoring program called BridgeCentral. Non-affiliated clubs that use Magic Contest often have tournament directors with experience from BridgeCentral. They may find Magic Contest confusing.

The pairs are often known in advance. This allows the tournament director to prepare the starting list far in advance. However, in Magic Contest there is no such thing as “the same tournament setup for the entire season”. One day/evening requires one contest in Magic Contest.

Several clubs play in two sections with completely separate winners. These sections can be based on quality, where a few pairs change sections from one session to the next, or they can be based on players changing sections based on meeting as many different players over the course of the season.

Since pairs are known in advance, BridgeCentral offers excellent features for transferring names from one week to the next. This is not as easy in Magic Contest. However, there are a few ways of doing this in Magic Contest, and you can even let the players enter their member numbers in Bridgemate at the start of the first round.

In Magic Contest, two sections usually means that you have the same cards and the same scoring, but you play in separate sections. In Denmark, two sections normally means two completely separate contests that are like night and day. The recommended solution is to start two completely separate contests in Magic Contest. Then one common Bridgemate database is used.

Note! Bridgemate does not run “just like that”. Just like any other technical device, you need to learn how to use it. There is plenty of documentation that you should read:

Dansk: Introduktion

Dette eksempel er baseret på den måde, mange danske bridge klubber kører turneringer på.

De tilknyttede danske klubber bruger det officielle scoringsprogram kaldet BridgeCentral. De ikke-tilknyttede klubber, der bruger Magic Contest, har ofte turneringsledere med erfaring fra BridgeCentral. Disse kan finde Magic Contest forvirrende.

Parene er ofte kendt på forhånd. Dette gør det muligt for turneringslederen at udarbejde startlisten i god tid. Imidlertid er der i Magic Contest ikke noget som “den samme turnerings opsætning for hele sæsonen”. En dag/aften kræver en ny turnering hver gang i Magic Contest.

Flere klubber spiller i to rækker med helt separate vindere. Disse rækker kan baseres på kvalitet, hvor et par par ændrer række fra en dag/aften til den næste, eller de kan baseres på spillere, der ændrer række baseret på at møde så mange forskellige spillere i løbet af sæsonen.

Siden parene er kendt på forhånd, har BridgeCentral fremragende funktioner til overførsel af navne fra den ene uge til den anden. Dette er ikke så nemt i Magic Contest. Der er dog et par måder at man kan gøre dette i Magic Contest, og du kan endda lade spillerne indtaste deres medlemsnummer i Bridgemate i starten af ​​første runde.

I Magic Contest betyder to rækker normalt, at du har de samme kort og den samme scoring, men du spiller i separate rækker. I Danmark betyder to rækker normalt to helt separate turneringer, der er som nat og dag. Den anbefalede løsning er at starte to helt separate turneringer i Magic Contest. Derefter anvendes en fælles Bridgemate database.

Bemærk! Bridgemate kører ikke “bare sådan”. Ligesom enhver anden teknisk enhed skal du lære at bruge den. Der er masser af dokumentation, som du bør læse:
