Individual - How to set up
Previous  Top  Next


For an individual game, select 3 ("individual game") from the "Select Type of Game" window. After choosing a letter and a color for the section, select the movement.

ACBLscore supports three types of individual game movements: Mitchell, One Winner, and Barometer.

If you select One Winner, a list of movements appear on the screen for you to pick from.

However, if your choice is Mitchell, ACBLscore asks the number of tables. For the number of tables that are not prime (prime numbers are the numbers that are divisible by only itself and one. E.g., 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17), the same list of movements as that of One Winner's is displayed. For prime number of tables, movement is relatively simple: North is stationary, South goes up one table, East up two, West down two, and boards down one. Select an appropriate movement from the list if you are running a One Winner game or a Mitchell with nonprime number of tables (you may want to print the movement by using EDMOV after setting up the game). After your selection, ACBLscore gives you the name and the type of the movement, number of tables, number of rounds and board sets, and asks you the number of boards per round through a window entitled "External Individual". A brief description of the movement is displayed next.

If it is a Mitchell movement and the number of tables is prime, ACBLscore asks the maximum number of played rounds and the number of boards per round, and gives the movement which is described above. Then, it asks the number of the players who are sitting north, south, east, and west. Next, you will need to select either pickups or travelers (Pick-ups - Sequence by table number, Pick-ups - Sequence by N-S pair number, Travelers - Sequence by N-S pair number, Travelers - Sequence by round number, or Travelers by N-S pair, then Pick-ups by table number). If using travelers, select "Travelers - Sequence by round number". Then, indicate whether the event is stratified and the event rating. After selecting the club, enter the session number. If it is a club masterpoint game, choose the appropriate rating. Next, indicate whether there is a Novice game held concurrently with your game. Press ESC or F9 key to continue.

If you selected Barometer movement at the beginning, you will be asked to choose either Mitchell or One Winner. The difference between Barometer Mitchell and regular Mitchell (or Barometer One Winner and regular One Winner for that matter) is that everybody plays the same set of boards at the same time in Barometer Mitchell (and in Barometer One Winner). The steps you need to follow will be the same as above after this point.
