VUGRAPH
Vugraph is an online broadcasting platform that allows everyone to follow live and past tournaments played on LoveBridge One. Given that both bidding and play are made on digital devices by the players themselves, there is no need for operators. As a result, all broadcasts on Vugraph showcase the real-time actions taken at the tables. To ensure safety and fairness, “live” LoveBridge broadcasts are slightly delayed, the duration of which is determined by the tournament organizers. At our live broadcasts, spectators have the chance to follow multiple tables simultaneously. Later both players and spectators have the flexibility to select any previous tournament played on LoveBridge One and review any board at any table. With this, players can easily compare their bidding and play with their fellow competitors and have the chance to improve their bridge skills.
STATISTICS
Given that both bidding and play take place on digital devices, we can capture every single action that happens during the tournaments. This large amount of data allows us to generate statistics for each player and lets us provide personalized and detailed feedback to all those who have ever used our system. Our statistics cover various aspects, including bidding, declarer play, and defense. Players have the opportunity to compare their own performance with that of other participants and pairs competing in the same tournament. It’s important to note that the statistics include both personal and public data. To ensure compliance with GDPR regulations, personal data is only visible to logged-in users. To log in, you must use your NBO Code as your ID and the password we sent to you.
