Chapter 5: Use of the Bridgemate® II scoring devices 36
Players choose their section by pressing the number that corresponds with the section they will play
in. Next, they will be asked to confirm their choice by pressing OK. If a mistake has been made,
pressing the Cancel key will bring the Bridgemate back to the selection screen.
After confirmation of the section, the Bridgemate will ask for table number and final confirmation. This
is indentical to the method of flexible entry of section and table number method.
The flexible entry with selection from available sections requires that the server has been started and
all section tables have been uploaded to the server. In case the server hasn’t been started yet, the
Bridgemate will return the message “System not activated yet”. Players should then wait till the
tournament director has started the Bridgemate system.
Remark
The SCAN function scans all available servers which are operating on the same channel as the

containing tables of section D and E, and both servers are on the same channel, the Bridgemate will
show all five sections. After selecting the section, it will automatically make contact with the
appropriate server.

players are supposed to play, it is very likely this will go unnoticed. As soon as the other, but correct,
table wants to log on, the following message is displayed:
If you are sure your table is the table shown on this screen, press OK to proceed. The following screen
is displayed:

Bridgemate, your Bridgemate will now ask whether this data should be erased:
Press ERASE to delete all data entered on the previous Bridgemate. This includes player numbers
and any scores. If you wish to proceed without erasing data, press CONTIN. The Bridgemate will now
