Maybe it is late, or I am tired, or both...
Assume I have a standard crosstable for a round-robin... 12 Players, therefore 11 "rounds".
Question is this: HOW can the results be entered into SS or SA? It appears you cannot enter the results trivially from the crosstable since you have to avoid conflicting games in each specific round...
I found an interesting online tool here:
http://chess.cern.ch/tournaments/robin.en.shtml
to generate pairings for round-robins of "n" players, but short of recoding all the results in the specific rounds, has anyone a better idea? I guess from a crosstable, one has to criss-cross the result table in a specific pattern, but that pattern eludes me at this hour...
Of course, had I been able to enter the results round by round, I would have avoided this hassle, but I am entering the results post-tournament and all I have is the final results crosstable.
