It seems like overnight everyting has to be done on a cell phone or the like . . . . Is there anything with same functionality as ScoreBridge for free out there

EBUScore has the same functionality (and more) as Scorebridge and is free to affiliated clubs.
Talking of Bridgepal, I have used it for single session games. Now I need to run a multi session game, which could be set on Bridgemates easily, but Bridgepal can't handle it that way.
If I run a morning event with two sections, get the result, then run an event in the afternoon with the same players but EW switched between sections and get the result , what would be the procedure to combine the two events to get a result as if it was a multi session event?

You can use BBOtoXML to merge the sessions. Generate a separate XML file for each of the morning sections. Merge these with BBOtoXML and save as a CSV file. Do the same for the two afternoon sections. Then import the CSV file for the morning session into BBOtoXML, merge it with the CSV for the afternoon session and generate a CSV for the combined sessions. Return to the main screen of BBOtoXML and convert this CSV into an XML for the combined sessions. Sounds complicated but it's just a couple of minutes work.

Further to the above, if you using EBUScore, you would define a single event containing both the morning sections, and another event containing the afternoon sections. In each case, set the BCS parameter in EBUScore to enable scoring across both sections. After both events have run you can then either combine them in EBUScore, or create an XML for each session and combine them in BBOtoXML as described above.
Comments
Depending on what you mean by manual scoring, you can use any scoring program without a bridgemate.
If you mean scoring with electronic entry without using Bridgemates, you can look at Bridgepal, Bridgetab or BriAn.
We also have a new EBUScore Web in development, which will allow this when it is completed.
Bridgepal is excellent, and has the advantage of being completely free to use.
