Who would want to use SwissSys?

Almost anyone who directs chess tournaments. No size is too small, and sections up to 1000 players are child's play to pair. Regular Swiss tournaments, team and scholastic tournaments, round robins, and even double-blitz tournaments are all easy to manage.

What does it do?

It makes pairings for Swiss system (and round robin) tournaments, following all USCF (or FIDE) rules for alternation of color, transposition of players--the whole business. It lets you print out pairings, standings, wall charts, upset results, new ratings, and lots more. In fact, there isn't much it can't do for you except make the coffee. It can import player registration information from the USCF supplement file with just a few keystrokes. It is extremely flexible and customizable, making it the ideal assistant TD for all levels of competition.

Version 10 offers a free, hosted webpage. You can easily upload tournament reports for your players and the whole world to see.

Where has it been used?

The U.S. Open, the National Open, the World Open, the Mexican Open, and thousands of club and regional tournaments from Queens, New York, to Queensland, Australia.
