I know several organizers that have on their web pages references to past tournaments which are coded with the links to the old MSA site.
Can the old MSA site domain automatically do re-directs for these to the new MUIR site?

MSA will remain online until we have all the function on that computer that we’re going to keep moved to other computers, probably a few months into 2026.
At that point, we can set something up so that links to MSA get redirected to MUIR, which shouldn’t be difficult.
Here’s what a MSA crosstable link looks like:
Here’s the same event on MUIR
Should be easy to rewrite the URLs
With the player/rating lookup now changed to MUIR instead of MSA it would be difficult to find the old tournaments.
For that matter, to see a TD’s certification level (which is not showing up on MUIR) I went into the TD/affiliate portal to look at a TD’s experience since that also shows the current certification level (along with showing the tournament experience that MUIR lost).
We’re working on getting TD history fully working on MUIR and all the old history transferred over again and on a way to display TD history as well.
As to displaying events, here’s the link to an event on MSA:

Here’s the link to that event on MUIR:

When we shut down MSA, hopefully in the first half of 2026, we should be able to set up a permanent forward from MSA to MUIR, though I’m not sure at the moment where we’d do that. (That’s probably a question for Emanuel.)
