7.1.1 Method 1 - Use BBO Extractor or other software

There are a number of developers providing conversion software from the BBO Results to a USEBIO format XML file with full traveller and hand details (pbn) suitable for upload to Bridgewebs..We are aware of the following so far. For more information use the link below:-

"BBO Extractor" is the most widely used and extracts the full information including Contract and Play information which is used in a new feature available in "Bridge Solver" accessed from "Play it Again" on the Bridgewebs display..

You can use this software to access the BBO Results and extract the information into a file or files on your PC. Eventually you should have an XML file with the results information and a pbn file with the deal that was used. A USEBIO XML file is a file written to the usebio specification which is widely used throughout the Bridge world. and is the format for upload to the EBU and a suitable format for upload to Bridgewebs.

Once you have these, go to your club Web site home page

  • Ignore "Select the Bridgemate File" option if present (ACBLScore Only)
  • Browse for your PBN file using "Select the Deal file"
