Directors score each game using the ACBLscore program. At the conclusion of the game the Director posts the results on a bulletin board in the bridge room and to the results page on the Club website where they can be checked for errors. If a scoring error is suspected, please contact the Director of the game in question. 

When a playing infraction occurs the Game Director makes rulings at the table in accordance with the ACBL Laws of Duplicate Bridge, 2008 Revised Authorized Edition. The Game Director’s decisions can be appealed to an ad hoc committee of 5 or 6 experienced players convened after the game. Further appeals are possible to the Board of Directors.

The deals played are computer generated using Dealmaster Pro software. The deals are double dummy analyzed for makable contracts using Bo Haglund's Software Engine. Printed Hand Records with makeable bids for N, S, E and W are available after the game and also posted with the results on the Club website.
