💻 DigiBou 1.9 – Mandatory for 2025/26 Season

Starting this season, version 1.9 (or newer) of DigiBou must be used for all official games. You’ll find the version number on the main menu of the program.

🔄 Key Updates:

Live data sync: Player, coach, and referee lists now load directly from the FLBB database when using “Démarrer match en ligne“.
👉 Always load matches at the gym with internet – not at home in advance.
New signature system: Referee and commissioner signatures are now done via personal PIN code.
Windows Compatibility: DigiBou 1.9 supports Windows 11. Since Windows 10 support ends in October 2025, consider upgrading. Also: Adjust your Windows Update settings to prevent automatic
restarts during games.

💡 Match-Day Reminders:

Make sure you’re connected to the internet before ending the match to
sync final results. Fix any forgotten quarter starts by right-clicking the first action of the new period.
If referees are absent, uncheck their names before finalizing the match.
