Palo Alto Bridge / Generating the ACBLScore Game Results

Game results are generated using the LRE command in ACBLScore.

If a game has more than one section, the LRE command must be used for each section.

If two or more games are in the same game file, the results for the each game must be generated and uploaded to the internet before the results for the next game are generated and uploaded to the internet.
