Using the Results Templates

With contractbridge.net specially designed results templates, getting your results online could not be easier. Any of your scorers can learn how to do this with simple copying and pasting as long as your scoring programme allows for it.


Step 1: Copy Results From Your Scoring Programme

NZCBA Programme - go to Print Preview and Copy (control A then Control C).
Compass Programme - In the results screen go to "View Results in Notepad Form" and copy.


Step 2: Paste Results Into Your Web Page

In your Site Manager, click the name of the results page for the relevant session. You will see a form which looks something like this:

Comments (can include HTML):

Results (do not include HTML):

The Comments Box

You may, if you wish, add comments like congratulations on grand slams or to 70%+ scorers or to beginners who have done well.

You can also use our Hand Creator to write up a hand and paste it into the comments box, or if you prefer, put in in a separate page with a link in that box.

The Results Box

If necessary, click "Clear Box" to remove any previous results. Click "Paste New Results" to insert the current ones.

You can paste gross and handicap scores as well as progress scores in each of those categories i.e. four separate results in this box. If you are going to do this it may be easier to copy the first results screen from the Notepad format into your own Notepad, then minimise it, go to the second screen and repeat the process until you have them all. Now paste the whole lot as one document into the results page. This saves going back and forth from the scoring programme to your results.

At present no provision has been made for archiving as experience suggests that members simply want to see the last results. (They can always check historic records when at the club). However there is no reason why you cannot leave the results for each round of a pairs in the box, and paste the following round above it until the Pairs has finished. It's up to you.

For those who do want to archive results, we hope to provide a tutorial soon.


Step 3: Finish and Enjoy!

Make sure you click the "Finish" button at the bottom of the form - and that's all there is to it! The results have now been formatted and added to your web page.
