Instructions for Sending Attendance Records to ACBL


Clubs should send the attendance record in a text file to masterpoints@acbl.org. Once the text file is received, masterpoints will automatically post to the member’s record. Below are instructions:

  1. Go into ACBLscore
  2. Arrow to data base, press enter
  3. Arrow to update/find player, press enter
  4. Type F for find and enter the player’s name
  5. When you get to the player, type in F4 to view the attendance records
  6. Hit F7 to print the attendance records
  7. Choose a text file and send to masterpoints@acbl.org.

Reporting Big Games

Big Games must be reported to the Bridge Bulletin. These results are not automatically picked up from club files. The club director, manager or the players themselves may send a notice to biggames@acbl.org. Requirements:

  • 75% or higher scores in a club matchpoint game that is open or non-restricted. (For example, masterpoint-restricted games or country club games restricted by membership do not qualify. Nor do cruise games, sectional or regional games.)
  • Five tables with at least 20 boards in play.
  • Both players are paid ACBL members in good standing.
  • A game recap must accompany the report — either via an attached text file or a permanent online link to where the results are posted.
