FEATURES
SILENCE
Declarers do not name the cards from the dummy; the door of the screen is always closed; players cannot chat across.
ARCHIVE
Archive of all the tournaments played on LoveBridge, where players can access the result and play of each board, including the biddings and plays of other tables.
TIME
For the TDs everything can be seen with an accuracy to seconds: no debate about Break In Tempo, no debate about slow play.
BROADCAST
At LoveBridge Vugraph spectators can follow all the tables playing at a tournament. Since there is no human interface (operator), every single detail of the play is correctly recorded.
STATISTICS
Statistics of bidding and play. Players can receive feedback on their performance via the LoveBridge statistics page. Based on the system data players can measure their bidding, declarer play, and defense compared to other players and pairs playing at the same tournament.
NO TECHNICAL MISTAKES
No technical mistakes disturbing the flow of the play (such as revokes, bad seating, insufficient bids, opening lead from the wrong side…).
RESULTS
Results and plays of each finished boards can be reviewed during the play or between boards, tables, and rounds. The tournament organizer has the right to decide that the results of other tables can also be seen or not.
IMMEDIATE RESULTS
Viewers can see the real-time result of each board, and the standings all through the tournament with the exact result.
ARCHIVE
It is easy to find all of our archived broadcasts from previous tournaments, in case some of our viewers missed the live broadcast or some of our players would like to review their performance.
BROADCAST
Viewers have more insight to the forming of the result: they can follow the play at every table, and see every card played during the whole tournament. Comments at a table and voice commentary are also possible to make the viewer experience even better. (Broadcast can be delayed for safety reasons upon request.)
NO HUMAN ERRORS
Since everything is automated, there is no need for a human interface during broadcasting, therefore there are no errors. Spectators can be sure that what they see is exactly what is happening at the tables.
TIME
For the TDs everything can be seen with an accuracy to seconds: no debate about Break In Tempo, no debate about slow play.
BUILT-IN SCORING SYSTEM
No need for additional scoring devices
NO TECHNICAL ERRORS
Organizers and directors never have to deal with revokes, bad seating, insufficient bids, opening lead from the wrong side and similar mistakes again.
NO PAPER WASTE
Every board and deal is visible on the tablets and on the vugraph site, there is no need to print the deals, results and personal scores.
NOTHING ELSE NEEDED
Organizers don’t have to prepare the deals and move the boards, never have to replace the cards and bidding boxes and take care of every tool necessary for the players. They just have to set the system up, and it can replace countless tools that were necessary to organize bridge tournaments before.
