 PBC Bridgemate Update coming March 2nd |
A request to discontinue the real-time viewing of competitors’ scores after each board is played was presented to the PBC Board of Directors. The request noted that loud reading of competitors’ scores during play could be overheard by other tables resulting in unfair play. A motion to discontinue real-time viewing of competitors’ scores was presented, seconded, and adopted by vote.
Starting on March 2nd, the PBC Bridgemates will have restricted (or disabled) real-time viewing of competitors’ scores. All of the competitors’ scores will be available for viewing as usual at the end of each game.
