  • Enhancement - Handicaps on a session basis
  • Enhancement - Optional "simple" interface. This involves launching the program with a switch of "/simple" (i.e. the shortcut launches "Compscore2.exe /simple") When used, the Bridgemate session form contains a dropdown offering all sections in this movement (e.g. Section A, Section B etc), and to move between sections you simply use the dropdown. This removes the need for separate windows per section, which was confusing for some directors unfamiliar with Windows. When launched without the switch, the program behaves exactly as it did before, which one form per section.
