Half-point Byes

SwissSys provides several ways to reserve half-point byes for players:

At Registration Time

At registration time you may click the bye buttons that run along the bottom of the screen, telling SwissSys which rounds the player gets the reserved bye.

After Registration

After registration you may click on Players | Tinker to pull up a dialog similar to the registration screen where you can again reserve byes by clicking on the bye buttons.

During Pairing Setup

When making pairings, the Pairings - Setup dialog permits you to assign byes by selecting a player from the list at right and clicking on the desired bye button.
