Bridge Scorer V3
Full club scoring, wherever you play
A complete duplicate bridge scoring system: one Windows PC or laptop runs the server, and players score right at the table. Works over any local network — club wifi, home wifi, or nothing at all — so it works just as well on a cruise ship as it does at your club.
What you’ll need
One Windows PC or laptop to host, plus one smartphone or tablet per table — not per pair. Only one pair at each table needs to enter the result each round, so you don’t need a device for every player.
How scoring works
At each table, one pair enters the result for that round on their phone or tablet — the other pair doesn’t need a device at all. As the round finishes, players move table to table as usual, and whoever’s turn it is at the new table scores there. The director’s screen shows live progress across every table as it happens.
At the end of the session
Full results are ready instantly — print a traveller-style results sheet, email results to the field, or export directly to BridgeWebs for clubs that publish there. Nothing needs re-typing from paper afterwards.
Getting started
- Download the package — click the button below to get the installer zip from GitHub.
- Unzip it to a folder on your host laptop.
- Run
start-bridge-scorer.batto launch the server. Windows may show a “Protected your PC” warning the first time — click “More info” then “Run anyway”; this is normal for a small independent tool and not a sign of a problem. - Connect your devices — make sure your host laptop and every scoring phone/tablet are on the same wifi network or hotspot.
- Open the director screen on your host laptop and the scorer screen on each table’s device, using the address shown when the server starts.
- Set up your movement and you’re ready to play.
