taken over by another Bridgemate and it will reset itself.

Entering member numbers (optional)

If you have specified in BCS or your scoring program that you wish to enter member numbers, the
Bridgemate will ask you to enter the member numbers of the four players.

The number must be numeric and has a maximum of 12 digits. Use the number keys to enter the
number, and confirm by pressing the OK key. If a player does not know his member number or does
not have a member number, press OK without entering a number. No number will be registered for
this player.

Once a member number has been entered for West, the numbers will be fed to the server. If the
scoring program has preloaded the names into Bridgemate Control, the Bridgemate system will be
able to report the names back to the players for verification.

In case one or more names are incorrect, press the Cancel button to apply corrections. After the
numbers have been corrected, the new names will be displayed again for verification. When all four
names are correct, press OK to start the first round.
