Swiss Manager FAQs

Post by Adam Raoof » Wed Jun 10, 2015 3:52 pm

I have started using this program, and given it a whirl at a blitz tournament (Hendon), a rapidplay in three sections (Muswell Hill) and an international in two sections (Malta). I have even played in a tournament where it was used (London Classic Rapidplay). I like it a lot.

Before I go further and use it at Golders Green it would be useful to have the experiences of others with this program - for English events it would be useful to be able to edit the board numbers so that all the numbers run consecutively even over four sections and I am told it is not possible by other users, yet Heinz Herzog the very busy developer of the program gave me these instructions;

"In the tournament dialog in sheet "lists" field "board offset in pairing list"

I am not sure what this means. Any ideas?

If it's a tick box, presumably you tick it and then it automatically starts the second section + 1 after the end of the first.

If it's a number, then it's what you add to the board number, so if you wanted the second section to always start at board 51, then it's 50.

Just a guess of course.
