Nixon Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Im running a 12 player tournament next weekend and Im looking for some software or an app that can help me keep track of who is playing who. Its a swiss/draw tournament. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlySarcasm Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm also interested to know if thsre is a requirement for something like this. Just spoke to Chris T and there is something out there called Warscore. It looks like it needs configuration and won't work out of the box. Is this widely used, or are TOs using excel/paper because what's available doesn't meet their requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Ive ran some martial arts events (kickboxing) in the past and have found you can take something from a similar area (in my case, badminton, tennis and karate software all tested) and bend it to working. Solutions that perfectly match niche events are hard to find! It's actually quite easy to find something that'll do the trees and draws and print that out. I found getting decent displays up on big screens was tough. A lot of software has a TV software complement and then you worry more about showing wins over 5 sets or a match score of 15 love or something for a competition with different rules. When you have it behind the scenes it's much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone2040 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm going to use warscore for my event in March. Was really easy to set up, and they have some templates that'll get you moat of the way there anyway. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRex Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/ The recent events that I have attended have used West Coast Pairings. It is designed specifically for tabletop games and supports Age of Sigmar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fartsocks Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If I wasn't so busy this week, I might be able to knock up something simple. You just want to enter the players, see the bracket/lineups, then click a button when someone wins, and see the next lineups? Also, whats do you mean by swiss/draw? Specifically the draw part?

SuperHappyTime Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The DCI has a method to do this if you don't want to use software: http://www.wizards.com/dci/downloads/swiss_pairings.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fartsocks Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 @Nixon I had a bit of time between stuff at work, so I made a website. Not sure if it's exactly what you're after, but give it a try, might be of some use. Almost certainly has some bugs because I did it pretty quickly. Also, don't refresh the page, or you'll lose everything https://philrange.github.io/swiss/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixon Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks everybody. I think i will be using TourneyKeeper the next time. only problem is players will have to register on the web-site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
