Does anyone here run rated lichess tournaments? I’m curious how do you currently manage to create the pairings if you want a Swiss style tournament. I’m sure this was more popular during the pandemic but am curious if organizers have continued to run Lichess tournaments.

We are a small club and just started rated tournaments for in-house members. So far we are using Chess Dot Com but hope to move over to Lichess.
One issue I have is that we can not seem to apply a password to enter the tournament(s) in Chess Dot Com.
For the pairings, we let Chess Dot Com do the pairings and then manually enter those pairings into Caissa Chess online software.
It is a little labour intensive, but we do have small tournaments.

DMVChess on Lichess.org used to. I’m not sure if they still do, but maybe they can help.
Lichess will use the standard FIDE Dutch pairing system if you go through their Swiss tournament process, which requires a closed tournament for club members. See generally Swiss tournaments • lichess.org.
