v8.72 [Apr 16, 2012]
The setting for correcting of Buchholz according to FIDE was modified.
It can be selected in the tournament settings for the Swiss System (page-1) if the ranking list
correction according to FIDE should be used or not. The corrections refer to the calculation of the
Buchholz and Sonneborn-Berger for results “not played”. See below at “virtual opponent”.
When this function is activated (which is recommended and a must for FIDE tournaments) the
corresponding corrections are made.
When the function is not activated, no corrections are made for games “not played” either.
This was different in the last version where games “not played” were always set as a draw for the
Buchholz calculation, independent of the setting.
The standard setting (new tournament) for “Ranking list correction according to FIDE” was now set to
“activated”. This setting is required by FIDE and has to be used for bigger tournaments, too.
Team tournaments can now be played with 2 games / round (team player’s).
This is possible for Swiss-System tournaments and round robin with 1st and 2nd cycle.
In the progress table the result with color is put out mow (normally) without slash.
Thus, „17s0“, instead of 17s/0“. The slash appears only when there is no color character or the result is
“not played” (no color either) („17/1“ oder „17/+“).
Tcl is an interpreted language and very portable interpreter for that language.
