Duplicate Bridge Movement Timer

Do you ever have trouble getting your duplicates to run on time? If so the Duplicate Bridge Movement Timer could be for you - you will be amazed how well behaved players are when a machine tells them to move! Bridge Timer runs on any Windows 95 or later laptop or desktop computer and displays a clock that runs down second by second to let everyone in the room see how long there is left for the current round. With 2 minutes to go before the end a chime sounds to warn everyone to hurry up and not start another board if they are not on their last one:

Once you start the timer it keeps going continuously, sounding the 2 minute warning (which you can adjust to make longer or shorter) and then the time to move chimes before automatically moving on to the next round. You can always restart from any round by clicking the restart button, or you can reset the round number by right clicking the button.
Pausing, resetting and editing the time for the current round can be done with the second button - either click the button to pause the clock or right clcik to restart the timer for the current round, or you can add/subtract minutes or seconds to the current round by clicking the up/down buttons or the +/- keys or PgUp/PgDn keys if everyone finishes early or there is some delay whilst the director announces something without pausing the clock for example.
Multi monitor use is supported. If you have 2 or more monitors attached when you start the timer an extra button appears on the bottom right panel that lets you switch the timer screen from one monitor to the next making it easy to run a scoring program on one monitor and display the timer to the players on the other. If you display the timer on a remote screen in another room you can see what it says and control it from a control panel that stays on the primary screen.
Easy setup is done from the opening page - select the number of rounds, number of boards per round (which in turn selects the default time per round) and the warning time (a warning chime sounds this long before the end of the round). You can edit both the time per round and warning period to suit yourself:

Pressing save will store these values and automatically reuse them every time you open Bridge Timer to make it particularly easy to set up and start once you have saved your favourite timings. You can save different timings for 2, 3, 4 or 5 board rounds and they automatically get recalled when you change the boards per round.
Test the volume by clicking the volume button. If it is too quiet or too loud right clicking this button opens the Windows volume control so you can reset the volume. You can also adjust the volume from the time display screen after you started if you forget to do it at start-up.
If you do not like my sounds you can use your own - just your own .wav files in the installation folder and the program will find them and add them to the drop down list of available sounds.
