TOG knows what's in an order marker TOG knows what's in an order marker
We used this yesterday for our 32 player tournament, and for setting up matches, it was a godsend. However, there are a few tweaks that would make it more efficient.

1) The match list is not wide enough. If you have two full names in there, the map name is obscured by the narrow window.

2) Efficiency in entering results. Instead of a drop down box to select results, I would prefer check boxes, and upon selecting a check box, the user would be forced to the next required field, losing points for the losing player. Consider that most folks are going to be using a laptop with this software, and it needs to be touchpad and <TAB> key friendly...

3) Scaling to full screen. Myopic users appreciate being able to see without squinting.


All in all, though, a fine tool you have in development here.

I will have the program layout and proportions adjusted based on screen size. I have bad habit of designing interfaces based on the idea that people are still stuck on 800x600 at the expense of the rest of us. But are you saying the font needs to be bigger too?

These seem like good ideas. I want the program to be tournament format flexible but if it is the most tournaments just assign points to the losing player and not the winner I might as well have the program auto go to the losing player's points.

I thought I had made sure that the user can tab around in a logical manner. Is there anything specific that might be a problem?

Just made a few minor changes. You can resize and take advantage of the full screen now.

Is the TD software set up to do Swiss Style parings? It seems to be, but I just wanted to verify.

Yes it does, and does a fine job with map assignment as well.

It seems to do a good job from what I can tell. It's a little unintuitive in parts and I am wondering about tie breakers.

Any suggestions for a good alternative?

A PC.
I've been thinking of picking up a cheap Dell laptop. The kid's school has switched to PC, the wife could use one, and I want to use some of the programs developed by our members. I didn't want to go back to the PC world, but I may have no choice.
