System Specifications

New in version 7.62

The Canadian CNTC flight B upper MP limit is now 2500.
Pair and team games with an upper masterpoint limit can be stratified by average masterpoints. This is in addition to the previous regulation that only allowed it only with no upper MP limit.

Changes effective May 1, 2009:
Short games (12-17 boards) can now hold a Club Championship.
Pair games can be stratified by average masterpoint holding of the pair if the top stratum has no upper MP limit.

District Charity, Junior Fund, International Fund, and Education Foundation games are the same as the corresponding Unit games.
The pick lists have been modified to District/Unit.

Unit Charity games
Charity donation has been corrected in 7.62 to $4.00 per table from $7.00 per table.

Games no longer available in 2009
The following games have been eliminated: Super Club Championship, District-Wide Charity, and 49'er Pairs.

Requirements:

  • Computer: IBM®-compatible with any version of Windows® or MS-DOS version 3.3 or newer.
  • Printer: Any is acceptable. A wide-carriage printer (132 columns) dot matrix will produce recaps that may be easier to read, but a narrow dot matrix, laser or inkjet will be adequate. (Note: Many newer printers require Windows to operate. These printers will work with ACBLscore only in Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP.)
  • Keyboard: Should have a numeric keypad separate from the letter keys for easier numeric entry. A separate set of arrow keys is also helpful.
