Step 3 - On-site Registration and File Handling

It is now 8:15 a.m. on the day of the Patzer Open, and you have just gotten your computer up and running at the tournament site.

Before you can accept any on-site registrations you will have to reopen your tournament. You can do this either from the Task Launcher as before, or from the File menu itself.

Exit and reenter the program (or just click on Setup|Task Launcher) to simulate a startup at the tournament site.

In the list of available files on the Task Launcher you should see your new tournament, “Patzer Open.tmt”. Double click on it to reload the tournament and its one section.

If you followed the instructions in Step 1 you should have nine players registered when you get back to the main menu. (The count of active players is listed in the status panel that runs along the bottom of the screen.) You should also see these players in the main view.

At this point you could continue accepting registrations. For our purposes, let’s leave the tournament with nine players. (You may have trouble meeting your $50,000 guaranteed prize fund, but you can find more backers later.)

You have now gotten familiar with file basics in SwissSys and are ready to go on to the next step.
