We refuse to play party bridge!
Please can someone tell me how I can run a duplicate game with 2 tables, 21 or 24 boards? (edited)
Thanks

Individual: 7 rounds of 3 is 21.
Pair: can play it top = 1 if you want. ACBL only allows masterpoints if run as a "Home Style Pairs" game, scored IMPs with 3 rounds of (7, 8). Either way, the movement is "simply":
In all cases, boards are shared between each table every round.

- N-S at table 1 are stationary.
- Before scoring, the N-S pair at 2 moves to E-W, and the E-W pair that just played at table 1 sits N-S 2.
- The next match is "as the players sit".
- Repeat for round 3.
In all cases, boards are shared between each table every round.

Just play a team match with IMP or Board-a-Match scoring.

If "Home Style Pairs" is considered party bridge, then please feel free to ignore this...
In ACBLscore, you can set up a game they call "home style pairs." In this game, 3 team matches are played, with each partnership having every other partnership as its teammates once, and as its table opponents once. You can run it as IMPs win/loss, IMPs converted to VPs, or BAM scoring.

This sounds fine, thanks. We simply want to make sure we are playing duplicate, not shuffle, deal, play every hand.
