The Hamilton Contract Bridge Club is excited to be the first
club in New Zealand to adopt the
BridgeMate technology. BridgeMates are small
wireless tabletop
devices for capturing the contracts and the results rather than entering them on
travelling sheets.
We are indebted to Bob Fearn for producing a version of the
Compass scoring package to interface with the BridgeMate system.

There are a number of advantages in using this system:
-
Results are available within a few minutes of the end of the
session.
-
There is no need to engage a scorer to give up their time to
score the session.
-
Most scoring errors are eliminated. If the contract and
result is entered correctly, the score will be correct.
-
The system is really easy for players to use.
-
Better reports are available. In Compass we can
generate a hand analysis that shows the deal together with each pair's
contracts and results (example below). |
