American Whist Movement

Having installed the latest SP77 I have been experimenting setting up teams movements.If my understanding is correct, it seems that while the team numbers in each round are correct the board numbers are not.
For example,with a 13 Team 2 boards per match event , for the first round the boards scores screen shows team 1 playing team 12, team 2 playing 13 and so on as would be expected. However, the boards for team 1 are shown as 1 & 2 - I would have expected that they should be 25 & 26 given that the teams move down 2 and the boards down 1 at the commencement of play.
Can you clarify please?

A matter of choice.
I chose to leave the boards there for the first round, after all the game does not start until the teams face their first opponents.

Ian, my concern is that the Bridgemates for this movement would be expecting at Table 1 Pair 1 v 12 using Boards 1 & 2, Table 2 Pair 2 v 13 using Boards 3 & 4 and so on.
Are you saying that it is Ok for the EW pairs to move up 2 tables but for the boards to remain stationery for Round 1?

Correct. Essentially the movement does not start until the pairs are positioned for the first match. Think of it as the pairs moving for the first match and then distributing the boards.

Thanks - that makes sense and I have had a look at the board scores screen for all the rounds and can see how it works out.

In service pack 78 the board set on table 1 is honoured correctly. So in your example if this value is set to 13 then that will be the board set played at table 1 on round 1.
