Realbridge Sessions

Lisvane Realbridge sessions are open to all bridge players. You do not have to  be a Lisvane member in order to play - players from any club can take part. There is now one regular Realbridge session per week - Thu at 19.00. Realbridge is very inexpensive to run so the cost is only £1 per person per session. Players who are not Lisvane members are asked to pay £5 to play for the 2024-25 year (Apr 1 - Mar 31). See main menu for Payments arrangements.

Login to this session at least 15 min before the start of the session.

We use Bridgescore/Bridgepal scoring software which has generated considerable enthusiasm with its users. The major advantage is for the scorers because this software is exceptianally easy to use. It has an excellent feature which is the ability to generate custom movements specifically tailored to our needs. This means that entering a movement is a one-click process with no need to enter all the variables previously required. This means that the possibity of introducing errors at this stage is virtually eliminated - no possibility of missing out arrow switches etc. Players will also see the benefits here because the necessity for a restart is much reduced.

Also if a restart is required e.g. because someone arrives late, or the number of tables has been entered wrongly, the process is very rapid and does not  require the resetting of the tablets. Players appreciate this feature.

Finally the Ranking screen shows names, not ID numbers, and thus is more informative.

The results are shown as non-handicapped and handicapped versions using handicaps to two decimal places.

We have been using this  software for five years and are very pleased with it. It is in use throughout the UK and overseas and its use is expanding rapidly.
