Challenge to maintain the level and develop activities when the club grows

– Maintaining the level and developing activities when the club grows has its challenges. It requires the active involvement of several members to manage club activities, and this is time-consuming when results are reported manually with paper reports and Excel documents. Therefore, we needed an easily manageable, efficient digital reporting system that would also give club members data for their own analyses and comparisons of results. It is also important to us to be able to get skilled help fast when we need it.

– We chose Bridgetime Score and are very happy with it. It has turned out that Bridgetime Score more than delivers everything we needed from a digital system. As Bridgetime Score is user-friendly and requires no prior knowledge of bridge scoring, we now have another three tournament directors in the club. “We are now four alternating tournament directors and can now manage a tournament with 15 minutes’ preparation and 15 minutes of work afterwards, with detailed results available on the web immediately for our members.

– The transition from an analogue system to a digital one has also been appreciated by the members. They now enter contracts, opening leads and results on a tablet, and after each round they can see their results in comparison with other tables that played the board.

– We also like the fact that Bridgetime Score offers many different types of game and result reporting methods. When we start our autumn bridge games, we will compete in three different experience groups (A, B and C), although we will play together at the same time in the same tournament and all pairs will play against each other, regardless of their experience group. This is made possible by using Bridgetime Score’s Strata* mode, which can calculate the results for each experience group.
