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​.

Built-in scoring icon

BUILT-IN SCORING SYSTEM

No need for additional scoring devices

No mistake icon

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. 

Waste reduction icon

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. 

Nothin else needed icon

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.
