How to stop, or close the game early correctly – the bridge games stop feature?
The use of the bridge games stop early feature can be necessary due to several reasons
- You need to stop before planned due to unforeseen circumstances
- You created too large a tournament (remember you can make in shorter in Tab 3)
Notice we use the word “Finish” “End” or “Game over” to describe a finish of a game completely as planned – see more here
Notice we use the word “Stop” “Close” to describe a stop of a game NOT as planned
Notice the early game close is actually a pause – you can press play and continue when you want
- It requires you have a connected dealer/tablet as an at normal tournament start
- It requires you have selected the tournament you stopped (or not selected a new tournament under “Tournament Table”)
