Ebuscore beyond Club pairs
Looking for advice.
I was new to Ebuscore this year when my Club took it on and am now fairly comfortable with it having been able to set up and work through examples with deals and movements I have set up. I have been able to work through these to ensure that the Results files reflect what should have happened.
For my club, for club pairs, I constructed an mpeg that runs through the entire process, from soup to nuts as it were, so other members could familiarise themselves with the buttons to press and the windows they should be encountering.
But Club Pairs is very easy.
However, I am having much more difficulty in familiarising myself with Teams, Swiss Pairs, Swiss Teams etc
I have found some documentation which runs through using a program but these seem quite "casual" in how they employ terms in the descriptions as they apply to the screenshots. They assume a lot of existing knowledge on the part of the reader
I am left with feeling the documentation, such as it is, would be OK for people who already know how to use the software rather than a teaching resource for newbies.
Ideally, I would like to see some much more fleshed out examples.
I'd like to know how I become certain that the table numbers, movements and scoring procedures, etc will work from the start.
At the moment I am very wary that I could produce a set up that looks superficially correct but then find I crash and burn as the session unfolds or reaches an end.
Please can anyone point me in the way of useful resources?

Practical use is obviously the best way in learning the procedure and you can practice at home with the programs using the BMTest facility which is on the EBU site and generates results. There are separate guides for the ClubScore suite Teams, Swiss Pairs, Swiss Teams, Individual which can be supplied if you let me have your Email address. I dont think they were ever uploaded to the EBU website.
