Hi,

Is it possible to get the existing software to handle the following? Or may be develop the necessary functions?

We have been running a teams league for many years. And, as the pandemic is still with us, the need to move it to an internet platform is clear.

A single session consists of several teams knocking heads, a 32 board or a 28 board match. The extra needs are:
- A single TD handling it.
- The same set of boards is to be played in all the matches, IMP scoring.
- We also absolutely want to have comparisons between the results of different matches. Something like the average Imp scores per deal. Basically to rank the pairs that played on a given night (in different matches). We call it "Butler scores", but I'm not 100 per cent that term is in international use. This is for the bragging rights within the team as well as for post game analysis, checking out what we did better (or worse) than the field on individual boards.

Does something like this exist on BBO?

The ALT, OCBL and other such competitions on BBO do this. BBO provides the functionality to run multiple team matches with the same boards, although it is fairly labour intensive. The cross imping can be done through BBO Extractor or another offline scoring program.

A single BBO user can run such an event if they have the privilege to run multiple team matches. This is something that you would have to request from BBO and provide a good reason. If you are charging for the team league, giving prizes and/or master points, then BBO may require an agreement with you.
