Hi guys, in completing the ratings input for my first event since the staggered rating fees went into effect on May 1st, I have come to the conclusion that the following specific recommendation would save the CFC office quite a bit of time in generating the rating report for FIDE, in the situations where the tournament is not completed using Swiss Sys for one reason or another :
Add an option to Swiss Assistant that colours can be entered in the same box as the result. For example, when someone enters +2 across from player 1, then the corresponding box for player 2 is automatically generated as -1.
So, augment this so that an entry for player 1, for example, +2 W, causes the player 2 box to be -1 B. In addition, add to the Swiss Assistant reports, the FIDE reports option from Swiss Sys. Voila, anyone think of anything else?
I feel that these recommendations take advantage of the work already done, and will further reduce efforts at the CFC office, for little extra TD efforts.
Best regards, Aris Marghetis (my next TD gig is only a month away!
