Instructions for Club Organisers for 
07. Easter Simultaneous Pairs Tournament

Deals

You will receive 40 deals inside the file PODELE.TPS , part of the PAIRSCORE (V2.7) program . Using this file will make the printing of the prepared deals very easy. (it is basicly the same as last year)
You’ll also receive the deals in condensed HTML and expanded HTML format and in DUP format as well. 

Pairs ID Number must be unique. 

You must not have two pairs with the same ID number.
For Mittchell movements, we suggest to assign to NS pairs the number of table they are playing at, while for EW pairs to add 10 to the number of the table (or 20 if you have more than 10 tables).
(Example 1 - seven tables : NS 7 will have ID= 7, EW7 will have ID=17)
(Example 2- seventeen tables : NS 7 will have ID= 7, EW7 will have ID=27).
During the play there is no need for this – keep NW1 and EW1, but while proceeding results unique ID number is OBLIGATORY.  

Number of sessions

If you play more sessions in Your club, calculate them as one. Take care that the players don’t change their positions (ID numbers ) during different sessions. Our suggestion is to play only one session. 

Wrong boards

If all pairs have played a wrongly prepared board, don’t send us results of the mentioned board (you can use these results only for your club account ). If you notice an error earlier follow the following next rules: 

    The board was prepared during the first round

If the board was wrongly prepared during round one or the cards have wrongly been returned into the board during the competition the result should be adapted as follows:
40% for the guilty pair (or for both) , 60% for the innocent pair. If the error has been noticed at the next table all the pairs who haven’t noticed the error get 40%, the pair who has noticed the error gets 60%. The result is not valid, board must be corrected and the tournament continues. If the error is noticed in a later phase the board can be cancelled by the club organizer.

    The board was prepared earlier

If the board was earlier prepared the possible error must be noticed after the first round. The organizer has to warn the players to compare their cards with the cards in the score sheet. If an error exists the result should be adapted. The pair who has noticed the error gets 60%, the pairs who haven’t, get 40%. After noticed error, the board has to be prepared correctly and the competition continues.
