WinTD and team ratings

[joepye]

I’m taking entries for a team tournament. For the first few entries, WinTD correctly computed the team rating based on the team member’s ratings, but has now stopped doing that. It leaves the rating field blank. Apparently I messed up a setting somewhere. I do not have the “Use Input Team Ratings” box checked, which is one thing that could cause this behavior. Any ideas? If I simply input the correct ratings will it come back to bite me sometime? WinTD does compute the average rating and shows it when team roster tab is clicked. I’m using WinTD v. 5.00n with a W10 machine.

If “Use Input Team Ratings” is checked within the preferences (not within the section settings), then it will keep whatever rating you manually put in the rating field within the team entry. Otherwise, it will replace that field with the average rating of the individual members, which will be blank if the players do not have a rating.

I believe the section setting version of Input Team ratings is currently ignored.

In the section setup did you define which field is the main rating?
In the team tournaments preference did you opt to interpolate unrateds?
In the edit tournament information did you select US Chess ratings and IDs?

In the section setup I have Main Rating Field set to USCF.regular.
In team tournaments preferences I have interpolate unrateds and use input team ratings unchecked.
In edit tournament information is see only tabs for tiebreaks and board weights, nothing about using US Chess ratings.

Are you using the pto or the ptoz format.
Under File - Edit Information there is a tab for feature.

pto - not everybody in our organization has updated yet.

For pto I still use the folder with version 4.20 in it and for ptoz I use the folder with version 5.00 in it. If you’ve checked everything else, and have used the help information, then you can send a copy of the tournament to Estima with an explanation of the problem. Using the help information allowed me to fix a few “bugs” that were actually features being handled differently in 5.00. I only had to send a report on two actual bugs that were fixed in the next upgrade (one minor and one to correct the way the second round was paired in a weighted board team vs team tournament using accelerated pairings - not something that is normally done and which I took care of by manually pairing the top half 0-1 teams against the bottom half 1-0 teams after the first round pairings were correctly accelerated by the program).
After being out for more than a year it seems like the only substantive bugs that might be remaining are those for rarely occurring unusual situations, as opposed to updates for cosmetic upgrades.

It updates the ratings in the teams’ main fields when you do “Assign Pairing Numbers” or you pair the first round (which goes through that process as well).

Works like a charm. Thanks. I’m curious why it did it automatically at first and then quit, but I don’t really need to know that, do I?

It computes/recomputes the team rating that shows in the roster view every time you change the team. It just only does an “official” transfer of that rating over to the team’s information when you do “Assign Pairing Numbers” or something else that indicates that all the rosters are now considered to be fixed.
