Corrections
1 Entering numbers of players names would not always work in the pre-entry screen
2 The ABF.fdb could not be loaded with new data unless the masterfile was deleted first
3 When starting ASE Scorer, under unusual circumstances, a "Message sequence error" could occur.
Enhancements
1 A new option has been added to allow the creation of a pairs event from a Swiss teams event. See [File][make pairs event]. The only complication is to make sure the names for the players in the teams session are in the order N,S,E,W. To help with this, in the teams event session names you can now drag and drop player numbers, swapping players in the process.
2 HTML files can now be produced for many of the reports. These are in HTML table format and is a separate option when selecting the report type.
3 BridgePad and BridgeMate users are asked if they want to auto-start the servers when a new event is created. This simplifies the use of table top terminals significantly and the option works for most situations. It makes sharing a database for more than one event very simple. For example, create an event (the first of a few say), at the end it asks "Use remote scores for this section" [finish]. Click finish. The server starts with a new database. Some time later (maybe after finishing getting the first event going) create a second event (making sure there are no duplicate section letters). Do the same: at the end it asks "Use remote scores for this section" [finish]. Click finish. ASE automatically adds the second event to the first database. Everything works normally for the second event. It is only when you add sections to an event that some care is needed. It still works the same but all sections need to be added to the event before the players enter scores. If you replace a section you still need to “update from round” as before.
4 BridgePad and BridgeMate users: a new option in [remote scores][advanced] has been added so you can specify the ACCESS database type you would like. The original and default type is ACCESS 97. If you would like to use a more modern database format select 2000 or 2003. It is important to have the latest bridgemate server program otherwise it might fail.
5 A new option has been added for Bridgemate and Bridgepad users. In the [advanced] options there is now "Use automatic score reading" that is by default ticked and the way things were before. To improve reliability it is recommended you disable this option and use the new option [event][Get remote scores] or (F8). This option retrieves the scores from the server and scores up the session, showing the % read on the screen title. Most users would only need to do this at the end of the event or at the end of each round if round results are being displayed. It is highly recommended that this option be used in preference to continuous reading of the results as the latter may cause errors in the scorer when other options are being used while the score gathering is being carried out. In other words using F8 improves the reliability.
6 When loading the ABF members to the national file you will be asked if you want to download the latest file from the internet.

Swiss pairs now allow you to have two fields. When the first session is scored enter 2 in the number of outright winners. From then on the reporting will show the NS and EW fields separately. When the automatic draw is calculated the NS and EW pairs are treated as two fields. The NS pairs will stay at their table and their opponents will take their seats depending on the draw.

Enhancement
In Swiss teams events 3 way teams matches are now handled differently when using the board scores to calculate the IMP/VP results.
When setting up the event you will be asked if you want to "use board scores to calculate IMPs" in 3 way matches. If you tick this option then all 3 way matches will share the boards on each round. The 3 way matches will play the same board set as all other teams in the event. The teams in the 3 way will complete the match in one round even though they are playing different teams at each table.
If conducted over two rounds then the pairs played at each table can be different at the three tables for the second round, but the principle is the same. If conducted over one round then the teams have played two teams in that round. This means a team has played once in the three way but will be deemed to have played two teams as far as the draw is concerned. Be careful though as your teams may run out of opponents where the field is small. Therefore use a 2 round 3 way with a small field.
This is a real bonus to the organisers using Bridgemates as they can be used in the three way matches as well as all the other matches. With an odd number of rounds make sure you run the 3 way over one round for the last round.
If you do not tick "use board scores to calculate IMPs" in 3 way matches then it is assumed you are entering the scores manually FOR 3 WAY MATCHES and session one scores are added to session two and so catering for your playing two half matches in each session. If there are no 3 way matches then board scores can be entered (or captured with bridgemates) and scored using the "IMPs from boards" scoring option. If you choose to enter board results for 3 way matches (played over two rounds) after not ticking this option then the boards are still assumed to be shared in three way matches and the board scores are calculated the same way. The real confusion is when the scores of the two sessions are combined for team results and so those results are unpredictable. When the 3 way is played over one round then the results should be correct.
Where the number of teams is not originally an odd number and you add teams to the draw so there becomes an odd number, then you have the option of choosing to "use board scores to calculate IMPs" in 3 way matches when doing the draw.
Care is needed where the numbers of teams are odd, then becomes even in the next round when a team is added or removed. Where you have specified the 3 way is over two rounds those teams are already committed to a second session as opponents, therefore there will be one team left out of the draw as they have no opponents. If you are aware of this then conduct the 3 way over one round, not two. To avoid a bye when you were not aware of this situation (a team drops out) then you will need to delete the session and redo the draw using one round for the 3 way (saving and loading scores if necessary). A bye for one round is handled correctly and is an acceptable solution.

Enhancements
A new option has been added for the clubs participating in the CARDS ratings. This addresses the need for clubs to be able to cater for rated players playing at your club for the first time. To use this feature download a CARDS file available on the web at
http://www.asecomputing.com/Uploads/cards.cds. This file contains the rating information for all participating players. It will be updated each month.
The new option is found in the members screen [F9] and is only available when your club's database is open and contains ratings for your current members. Use [File][New ratings DB] to create a database, calling it "cards" with a ratings club name of "cards" too. You then load the cards.cds file mentioned above and have downloaded earlier.
Then re-open your existing members database as usual. Whenever you use the "add player" option [F2] make sure the "other club file" is ticked in the "Surname and player no. search file" option.
Note if the file shown is not the cards.gdb you have just created enter that as the "other club file" (use [...] button).
When you search for a person by name the list will show all the players with the name entered. Choose the required player and their current ratings are also added to your masterfile together with their name, bridgename and national player number.
