Posting Results and Hands

Results:

For daily club results, software automatically computes the links to the latest postings on acbl.   The set of links looks something like this:

Bridging the Gap Sunday, October 2 Hands
Marion Club Thursday, September 29
Build Better Bridge Wednesday, September 28
(Common Game) Wednesday, September 28 Hands
Happy Bridge Monday, September 26
Friendly Hands Monday, September 26

These links will automatically replace themselves without any intervention.   Some links may be shown that are not yet posted to acbl.  If a club session is not held, the link will appear anyway, but it just won’t work (you’ll get a 404 error.).

For hand records, only for evening clubs, the software will automatically compute links to the most recent postings.

These local hand records have to have the following precise naming format: YYDDMM.htm, as in “160713.htm,” or else “YYDDMM.pdf,” as in “161012.pdf.”    They have to be installed in the “hands” folder of cedarrapidsbridge via the “Hands Uploader.”  The names are case-sensitive, so use lower-case for “.htm” or for “.pdf.”  The link to the uploader is in the footer. This will open a form, in which you will

1)select the file to upload by clicking the “choose file” button
2)enter the necessary password
3)optionally select the “enable overwrite” button
4)click the “upload file” button

If the customer wants to see results older than four weeks, he can follow the “Current Month” link for the club and, at the acbl site, select the desired month and click “go.”  For older hand records, there is a link to the “hands” folder.  The files are displayed in order of date of play.  Clicking on a file name will open it in the browser.

The Wednesday night game normally uses the hands of the “Common Game.”   If, and only if, the results page doesn’t find the appropriate hand record for Wednesday night in the local archive, a link to the Common Game hand record is offered.  This would be sufficient, except that the Common Game hand records disappear after about two weeks, and we prefer to have a semi-permanent archive.  Therefore, every couple of weeks, we generally transfer a copy of the recent Common Game hand records to the local archive.
