A press release can be produced that has the names of the winners for any game that has overall ranks. Use BUL and select option 6. A model press release must be created with a text editor or word processor before any press release can be produced. The file must be ASCII text and have the suffix .PRE in the file name (eg. PRESS.PRE). ACBLscore will first ask for the location of the model press release file, then look in that drive or directory and display all the files with a .PRE suffix and ask you to choose one. Sample of a model press release:
SAN FRANCISCO -- !1 of !2 and his/her teammates won the !4 on !3, one of the major events contested at the Spring North American Bridge Championships here.
ACBLscore looks for the following tokens in the model .PRE file and makes these substitutions:
!1 Player's name
!2 Player's city and state
!3 Event date
!4 Event name
!5 Partners' name(s) and city
!6 Tournament city
