Does anyone know what the options "Allow Undos" and "Barometer Scoring" let you do if left checked when you set up a teams match?

Barometer scoring means that the players can see the current score as boards are completed at both tables. You can also see the other table's result, including bidding and play.

It is akin to having a traveller in a pairs game or showing previous results on a Bridgemate.

Barometer scoring is often enabled for a friendly game and disabled for more serious ones. There are plenty of threads discussing the merits of both approaches.

Allow Undos gives players the ability to ask for a call or play to be undone, taken back, or changed. The opponents are both asked whether they accept it. If this option is not enabled, you live and die by the click.


Allow Undos is often enabled for a friendly game and disabled for more serious ones. There are plenty of threads discussing the merits of whether this should be on or not.
