Great things are happening at EuchrePad.  We just had an avid Euchre Player share his love of the game and as an added bonus his added twist to the game.  He modifies our score sheet by placing eight playing card symbols on it.  Every player has a different combination of symbols. Every even-numbered game, they call off eight cards from a full deck.  At the end of the evening if someone has matched all eight symbols, they win the bump pot.  Well, I thought this was such a great idea that I added it to Personalized and Personal Lite score sheets.  Check it out: Personalized: Personalized Lotto Score Sheet and Personal Lite: Personal Lite Score Sheet

Euchre Lotto

We just added Lotto to the score cards - thanks to Euchre Fan Patrick L.  Each score card has 8 playing card symbols on it.  After each odd round, 8 cards are called from a full deck.  At the end of the tournament - whoever has all 8 symbols matched wins a side-pot.

More Choices

 

A lot has been going on this past year. We added several options to the website. We added two new layouts "Group" and "ProTeam". Group is like Progressive, there are two groups and for each round each 2-person team consists of 1 person from each group. This is great for Mixers.

ProTeam or Progressive Team is also like progressive where you play with a different partner for each round. There are two groups or Teams and for each round a 2-person team consists of 2 people from the same group.

We are also updating Leaderboard V3. It will be re-written in .Net and have many new features.

Well we are almost wrapping up year 6 of this awesome adventure.

We will be introducing a totally new format of score card.  This scorecard will be based on two groups. Each team will consist of one person from each group.  It works well if you are trying to mix-up players to balance things out.  For instance if you have a mixture of experienced players and non-experienced players, you would want to use this format.  Each team would consist of an experienced player and a non-experienced player.  I don't have it fully tested, but if you want to test-drive it - go to this URL:  http://www.euchrepad.com/PlayerChoice_cpl.html  . If you do try it out, please let me know.  Thanks.  Euchre Dude

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a safe and fun-filled Holiday.

Now down to business. 

We have created a tournament management program aptly named "LeaderBoard".  Please check it out - try it at your next event and  give me suggestions - so I can make this the easiest to use program for running tournaments.

Better Data

I have been laser-focused on improving the data over the past 6 months.  I have had several people comment on the fact that the scorecards were good, but the movement from game to game was less than perfect.

I wrote a program to minimize the number of times that each player is at the same table and minimized the number of times you are at the same table in adjacent games.

In other news we have over 200 themes - with more on the way.

Please pass on your comments - good and bad.

Tell your friends about EuchrePad and keep playing Euchre.

Formats - LeaderBoard - and more

Since my last post, much has happened.  We have over 80,000 score cards printed.  We have 4 formats to choose from: Personalized, Personal Lite, Tally and Vegas-Style. 

We currently have over 150 themes loaded.  Please keep sending in your ideas.  If I like your idea, I will create the theme. 

If you are interested in taking the pain out of running a tournament, then you must check out LeaderBoard.  LeaderBoard is a simple and intuitive way to manage the tournament.  Player scores are entered and can see player rank.  At the end of the tournament, the scores and the payouts are automatically calculated.  All splits are equally divided.  You simply must check it out.  http://euchrepad.com/How_To/LEADERBOARD.pdf

Well, thanks again to everyone who is supporting this site.  Expect more great things.
