22.3 CSV Format

There is a facility to upload any results using formatted text files. This page describes the format required

You can have a look at a couple of examples. The required file should be a csv. If you cannot download the csv file, try the txt file.

The format is flexible and best reviewed by looking at the examples. Each line of the file can consists of options (preceded by #) or data. The options themselves are followed by actual values. The options are not case-sensitive so upper or lower or any combination will do.

The field separator is determined from the first line and can be a semicolon, tab or comma as necessary to suit the software used to create the file.

N.B. A tab is best as this suits the csv format better for use in Spreadsheets, the examples are shown with a ";" purely to show where they go.

(§2) The #Board format is assumed to be #board followed by a board number, you can also supply a session number and the butler datum, in which case supply a #Boardformat line before the first #Board.

This Bridgewebs Import format is mainly used to upload prepared results. However, it can also be used to upload "Duplicate" results with "Travellers" prepared on a spreadsheet and calculate a simple "Duplicate" result for you.
