We couldn't have done it without ...

... a little help from our friends.

It would seem wrong to finish off with "and last but not least ..." so we wish to start by acknowledging the creator of this fabulous tool that Bob Fearn has built for Bridge - not only here in New Zealand but, quite possibly, anywhere in the world that they're running Simultaneous Pairs.

In a remarkably short period of time, Bob has extended the capabilities of X-Clubs to process the output of not only NZ Scorer XML but also the older versions of that program which are not XML-capable. In addition to that he has written conversions for CompScore-2 and ScoreBridge. Sessions scored manually by other means need to be re-keyed using Bob's native Compass scoring program. The man is a true force of nature; a wonder to behold.

But, the X-Clubs Team being largely unfamiliar with all these other platforms, we are indebted to the following cognoscenti whose help has been most valuable in this project. In no particular order we wish to acknowledge:

  • Michelle England
  • Caroline Wiggins
  • Chris Jared
  • Wayne Benefield
  • Nick Whitten
  • Geoff Eyles
  • Peter Bush
  • John Rive
  • Liz New
  • Angela Royle
  • Duncan Badley
  • Greg Davenport
  • John Tetley
