Wonder Tables
In these Championships, The Dutch Bridge Federation will introduce to the bridge world a new technology.
It is a card reader mounted on top of the screen. As each card is played, the machine read and transmitted the information to the main computer. While viewers at home everywhere can follow the table action, card by card on the computer. The score is then automatically updated at the end of each deal.
Time taken to play the cards is also kept on each player. In effect we have a time clock on bridge, much like the time clock on cheese! No more he said, she said.
On display are some interesting card tables from the USA dated 1932.
