Tourneys management

The tourney is clearly the primary element of the whole system, everything has been designed to allow an easy and fast management of these events.

Insert and edit

Each tourney has a date and a description of the event and there cannot be two dictinct tourneys in the same date associated to a single championship.

The location is optional.

The duration and prealarm refer to the length of a single turn, and are expressed in minutes. They will be used by the The alarm clock window. window.

A tourney may use a particular rating: in such a case, the first turn is generated accordingly with the rate of each player instead of using a random order.

The pairing method determines how the couplings are done at each new turn:

Ranking order
the serial algorithm will try to couple a player with one of the players that follows him in the current ranking order, for example the first with the second, the third with the fourth, and so on;
Dazed ranking order
to delay as much as possible most exciting matches, the dazed method is more elaborated: it takes the players with same points as the pivot, and tries to couple the first with the one in the middle of that series, the second with the middle+1 one, and so on.
