Replacing names

[FBC]

Hi Ian
A couple of issues have arisen from our current 12 round swiss pairs event.
1/ week two-round four we had some substitute players. I assumed that when the new players keyed their numbers into the bridgemates that the Ase8 would substitute them for the older names. This didnt happen it showed the old names on the reports at the end of the round and subsequent draw. We manually put them in for the following round but with the same result. Are the field names not driven by the numbers keyed in at the beginning of each round??
2/ More complex...the computer froze again at the end of round six. This seemd to occur as our director was trying to print out the reports and the pc was trying to do a read of bridgemate pro at the same time. The problem was that as all results were in the director proceeded to round seven on restarting the computer unaware that in the process ase8 had lost all scores for round six.So we had a round missing and vps missing on subsequent rounds.(unfortunately this only became apparent later:(. I know we can do an adjustment for the vps but can we input wins/losses/draws anywhere). I thought we could run a dummy round before next week and input the correct pairs draw and results ...assuming this would correct both issues. but we arent sure if when you create the new session and answer no to create swiss draw whether it would let you do it all manually???? not having tried this before.

Can you enlighten us??

The names for the session only appear in the session report (and masterpoint awards for the session). The outright teams names will be the event names not session.

I am not aware of a problem as you describe. Re-read scores for round 6, rescore 6 and then 7 should get the scores right for the next rounds.
Also set auto save on to help overcome such problems.

Hi Ian
So from what you are saying re names if i want the substitute pairs names to appear on the outright i go to event names and replace them for the missing pair? One of the problems of the current setup is when you have a substitute pair the draw is populated from the event field not the previous session(which should be adjusted in the programme) so i am calling out names of people who are not there!!!

The second issue arose because we were 3/4 way through session seven when the director realised session 6 had not scored properly so we couldnt re read the scores. So the draw for seven was corrupted as there were scores missing. My issue is what is the optimum way to correct this problem and also why ase8 lost the scores after it had been scored up?

Thats the way it works. The "Known as" team name is constant. The members of a team get the outright awards, the subs get session if they play then.
You can rescore an event as suggested, getting the correct results (but of course the draw for round 7 cannot be changed). Always save the event, or have autosave ticked.
