Individual Events
An individual event works in much the same way as a team event except that the fixtures become rounds and the number of boards is the (default) number of players in the round. There is no way of importing individual event fixtures. To create an individual event go to Admin/Events and do Add Event. Select one of these event types:
- Individual Swiss
- Individual Unstructured
- Individual All Pay All
- Individual Knockout
The main difference this makes is in how the results table is drawn.
The other thing that is different for an individual event (compared to a team event) is that the player list is tied to the event and not to a team/club. You can select an existing player list when creating the event, for example this could be a club list for a club championship. If there is no suitable existing player list, then go to Admin/Player Lists and create a new player list. Then go back and select the correct player list from within the event.
Adding Rounds
To add the first round of the event, select the event from the left hand side, then click on the Rounds tab and Add Round. To add players, pick the round from the list of rounds and enter players like for a match result, but leave the actual result of the game blank (ignore the warning message for missing results).
All play all pairings
Rather than adding each round separately, for an all play all event it is possible to add them all at once. From the Generate Pairings tab within the event press the Generate Pairings button. Make sure that your player list only contains those players that are playing in the event. (and therefore you should create a player list specifically for the event - although one from a previous year can be used)
