Pre-dealt hand records can be imported in BCS and uploaded to the Bridgemates. This information
can be used by TDs to review the hand record from the Bridgemate using the TD-menu. If your
scoring program automatically stores the hand records in the Bridgemate result file and instructs BCS
to upload them to the server, no further operation is required. If this automated procedure is not
supported by your scoring program, you can do so manually. Go to menu File à Import à From .Dup
(only DUP files are supported for import) and select the DUP file you wish to import. If your sections
have different hand records, select the DUP file each section separately. Click Import File(s) once you
have selected the files. The hand records are now imported in the result file. The final step is to upload
the hand records to the server. Go to menu Session à Upload hand records. Select the sections and
press Upload Hand Records. The hand records have now been uploaded to the Bridgemate server
and are available to the Bridgemates.

Analysis of makeable contracts (double dummy analysis)

BCS has integrated makeable contract analysis based on Bo Haglund’s Double Dummy Solver (see
http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb758135/ for more information. Version 2.2.3 is integrated in BCS).
Makeable contract information is stored in the result file and can be printed or exported together with
the hand record information.

Automatic or manual analysis

Hand records can be automatically or manually analysed for makeable contracts. Automatic analysis
can be used in conjunction with the entry of hand records on the Bridgemates. Each hand record will
be automatically analysed and the information is stored in the result file together with the entered hand
record. To enable automatic analysis, go to menu Session à Report session à tab Hand record
analysis, and check the option “Automatic analysis of hand record during play”.

When hand records are not automatically analysed, or you have imported hand records through the
File à Import function, makeable contract information can be added to the result file by manually
running the analysis. To do so, go to menu Session à Report à Session à tab Hand record analysis,
and click on “Analyse hand record now”.

Printing hand records with makeable contract information

Makeable contract information which is stored in the result file is automatically included in the
print/export output that can be generated from menu File à Print. Note that no analysis is performed
at the time of printing. When makeable contract information is missing on your output, make sure you
run the hand record analysis first before you print or export the hand records.
