Substitutions and adjustments

By uday

Substitutions and Adjustments are each initiated from the green TABLE button inside any tournament (Once you enter the tournament, you will see the button is on the lower toolbar, second from the left).

Click it; from the resulting screen, you can adjust results, substitute players, or cancel the tournament.

The screens attempt to be self-explanatory. The only thing to be aware of is this:

No Double-substitutions

Don't allow a player to sub in more than one seat; that is, don't allow XYZ to sub for A and then, when A returns, for B later in the tourney.

Sitouts

When substituting, if the player you are replacing is either half of the artificially created Sitout pair, you can replace "sitout" with the new player. Naturally, you do this twice (once for each player in the sitout pair)

Adjustments

In order to adjust a score, you need the board number to be adjusted, the user name  if any of the 4 players who played the board, and the new contract.   To adjust a score fill out the 3 fields in the Adjust-Score section of the screen that will pop up when you click the green TABLE button inside a tournament.

1. Make sure that your own settings position SOUTH at the bottom of the screen.  This (knowing who was NSEW)  will help you set the adjusted contract . You can set this by clicking the yellow Gear icon, on the toolbar at the bottom of the BBO screen. You can also figure out who is NSEW by looking at a Movie ( click the MOVIE button and look at the detail panel. S is always at the bottom.
2. The adjusted result must be valid; here are valid results for "Averages"

1. A==     Average for both sides
2. A--       Average minus for both sides
3. A++     Average plus for both sides
4. A+=     Average plus for NS, average for EW
5. A-=      Average minus for NS, average for EW
6. A-+     Average minus for NS, average plus for EW

 

and a some examples for normal results

 

1. PASS          passout
2. 6NSXX-12  6N redoubled by south down 12
3. 6NSX=     6N doubled by south making exactly
4. 6NE-1      6N by E down 1
5. 6NS+1     6N by S making one overtrick

Results, as you note, use this general format.

Level Strain Declarer [Double][Redoubled] [+-=][number]

It is simpler than it seems :) once you get used to it.
