Simultaneous Events Hand Protection - Release 2.16b

There is a new option in the Calendar to protect results from showing Hands and Travellers when the event is being played in Simultaneous competitions. You can still upload the Results and Hands, BUT, instead of showing the Personal ScoreCards / Hands or Travellers, a message will be shown saying these are not available until the appropriate time.

Go to the individual event and next to ECATS, you can specify how many days to defer the display, e.g.

  • Next Day (i.e After Midnight) - protects if you play the event in the afternoon
  • 2 Days later - protects if you are playing a day early.

This applies whether it is an ecats event or non-ecats arrangement.

The ranking and matrix will still show but this does not give any clues about the hands themselves.

This is especially added for the Boston Bowl being run 27th - 31st October. If you play on Monday, use "4 days later". If you play on Friday, use "Next Day". Then the Hands will not show until midnight on Friday
