Why do you offer multiple GAME CODEs to subscribers?
I'm not sure I really understand the benefit of us having multiple game codes. The only thing I can see is that results will be accessible through IBEScore for a bit longer.
How multiple game codes are managed is completely up to a club.
Two common usages are, equally - different codes for different sessions, or days. Or to differentiate between eg learner, supervised or special sessions.
And of course for testing, training and planning. And multi session events where you want to lock and/or hold the game open while another session takes place.
At one club we work with two game codes are needed even though they don't even run duplicate - it's a student bridge club only right now. They use one GAME CODE to upload the .xml file from a previously played game, then they replicate the boards, give them to the students to play and use a second GAME CODE for students to input their scores to compare their results with those of the Duplicate session. (This is done via the IBEScore SIMs service which joins up unrelated games - as is done Simultaneous bridge games). This is an excellent way to teach learners the value of overtricks, getting to game, competing (or not), doubling silly contracts etc etc
