• Click on the [ACBL@Live] Tab
• Choose [Transfer] for any results you have uploaded to ACBL@Live, but not yet uploaded to your Bridgewebs web site.

PLEASE NOTE

Files:

• With ACBLScore transfers, Bridgewebs received 3 files, the ACBLScore ACA file, the BWS Bridgemate file and the PBN Deal file.
• With BBO Games, there is just one XML file which contains almost all that is necessary.

Automatic Transfer from ACBL to Bridgewebs Server.

Bridgewebs checks for new results for all clubs at ACBL@Live on the Hour and every 3 minutes, all day, every day. Bridgewebs will show how long since the last check and automatically refresh the Display every 3 minutes.

Fully Automatic Transfer to your Web Site.

If you would like to transfer results and update your web site fully automatically when received by Bridgewebs, use  [Switch to Fully Automatic]. (This will ONLY be effective the next time you upload to ACBL@Live and WILL NOT process any transfers awaiting confirmation). After choosing this option, results should normally be automatically available for your members to view on your Bridgewebs web site within a few minutes of uploading to ACBL@Live. You can check in the [ACBL@Live] Tab as any such results will show as "Processed Auto".

You can turn this off with [Switch to Manually Confirm].
