Generating Reports and Data for our Website

Our game results page can display multiple types of game information. All files for a specific game are uploaded to the same directory on the website for that game:

The ACBLScore game result must be on our website for any of the other game information to be displayed (i.e., the C Report, the Deal file, the Hand Record or the Lesson). The other data files must be named similar to the ACBLScore data file. That is, they will all contain the date/time code in the format YYMMDDT where YY is the two digit year, MM is the two digit month, DD is the two digit day of month and T is the time of day (M for morning, A for afternoon, E for evening and N for night).

Contract Report - This is the report that shows the contracts and results as well as the hand record for each hand.

Deal File - the website will accept a .pbn or .ppl file for use in bridge software such as Bridge Baron.

• .pbn files can be uploaded as is. They must be named similar to the corresponding ACBLScore game file: DYYMMDDT.pbn or DYYMMDDT.PBN, where D is the capital letter D.
• .ppl files must be compressed into the ZIP format first. They must be named similar to the corresponding ACBLScore game file: DYYMMDDT.zip or DYYMMDDT.ZIP where D is the capital letter D.

Hand Record (from Dealmaster Pro). This is normally the second step in generating random hands for our dealing machine and must be preceded by generating random hands.

Lesson - A Lesson is any PDF document you want to associate with a game result. The method of generating it is left up to you. The only restriction is that it must be named similar to the corresponding ACBLScore game file: LYYMMDDT.pdf or LYYMMDDT.PDF where L is the capital letter L.
