SwissSys Integration
ChessRoster and SwissSys are designed to work together. ChessRoster handles online registration, public results, and the player-facing web experience. SwissSys is the Windows desktop software that runs the tournament — generating pairings, tracking results round by round, and submitting ratings.
Together they cover the full tournament workflow, from the moment a player registers online to the moment ratings are submitted. The integration also enables Live View for TV displays and SMS pairing notifications for players.
The big picture: what each system does, how data flows between them, and features like Live View.
