Can't do it. I have too much invested in my Mac's. I was a PC user for years. And then I saw the light!

Just because of my program. I'm flattered.

The program is runs on the Microsoft .net framework and I imagine there is .net for MacOS but I really don't want to get into cross-platform compatibility issues.

As stated in the ReadMe, players get ranked first by Win-Loss record, then strength of schedule, and finally by ranking points. If there is a tie after that whoever gets ranked higher by the sorting algorithm gets ranked higher.

Oh yes! I'm planning a tournament in the next few, and this would help.

I just installed it and ran a dummy tourney through it. It looks like it's going to be very useful. I even tried changing some results and a player name after the final standings were tabulated and it didn't screw anything up.

Yeah, this is awesome. I'm totally going to use it for the Track Town Throwdown.

Minor update. The program can now assign strength a schedule bonus to players.

I'm having problems getting this to run. Could this be due to the newest update?

Anyone else having issues?

I downloaded it 2 days ago. I'm not having any problems getting it to run.

Great Program.

It does Many Things I want, but there are a couple of things I am wondering if can be worked into the program.

I have somewhat of a unique scoring system that I use, and most appear to like.

Scoring System(600 Points, could vary)

• 3 Point Win(Totally destroying opponents army)
• 2 Point Win(Scoring 400+ points and winning against your opponent when time is called)
• 1 Point Loss(Scoring 400+ points and losing)
• 1 point Tie(Both players having the same score, or both scoring under 400 points when time is called)
• 0 Points (Failing to Score 400+ points and Opponent Scoring 400+)

When Running Pairings and Standings.

1. Total Points(3 point wins/2point wins etc)
2. Point Differential(Unit points killed vs Unit points Lost)
3. SOS

Could those types of things be added to the system? Use my scoring for about 2-3 tournaments and I think many in NESA probably would do the same.

It is rather difficult to make a completely generic scoring system. I try of course to make sure the program handles the most commonly used way to rank players. But I'll see what I can do to make the ranking system more flexible without over complicating things.

oh this is going to make NHSD soooo much easier to run.
