Is it possible to submit rating reports for round robin tournaments by computer (as opposed to on paper with higher fees) as a round robin? By this, I mean I could fire up Swis Sys, enter all the pairings and such by hand for all rounds, and submit it, but it would still go in as a Swiss.
I don’t mind making the files entirely by hand if there’s no other way, but I’d have to know what the format should be. An easy or automated way would be nice, of course.
I’ve had no problems submitting RR events (though I use WinTD) electronically. DRR’s I’ve had issues with (but I think Mike is or has fixed that).
There’s a separate module in Swis-Sys for round robin events, but I’m not sure it doesn’tt just convert the upload file into a Swiss-like event using Crenshaw-Berger tables.
We do support RR-style reports, but not double-round-robins.
I’m not sure I understand your problem. If you set the tournament type as “round robin” when you create it in Swiss-Sys, you get a round-robin tournament and can export the rating report as you would for any other tournament. There are other ways to do it (like entering all the games in “Armchair TD” mode), but they’re clumsier.
I did not know that I could select round robin in Swis Sys. I learn something new every day. Thanks!
