Misboards: If a board is found
to be fouled on the first round, then the Director should ask
the players to put it right and award a 60/60 average. If a
board is subsequently fouled, the players at the next table
should be awarded a 60/60 average and again, put the board
right. If a board is fouled throughout the evening, then it
should not be scored at all.
Please make every effort to ensure that boards are not fouled
during the evening. There is no provision for penalties against
offending players within the overall scoring program, although
for a persistant offender a manual penalty could be introduced
when the event is finalised.
Averages: for the ECats Scoring program, an average is entered
in the right-hand-column of the board in the "Enter Scores" section,
using the formula A4040 or A5050 etc. If you are using your
own scoring program (having tested that it interfaces with
the ECats System) then you should enter Averages in whatever
way you normally do, but make sure that this has been tested
to give the correct result when uploaded.
NEVER try and enter a sitout pair by giving them averages
throughout - you cannot have an average if you don't have a
score in the first place - 50% of nothing is nothing.
Penalties: there is no provision for adding a penalty. Directors
are advised to find some other way of penalising players if
they feel it necessary.
