Step 4 - Inspect the Wall Chart

Before the tournament starts it’s a good idea to post a wall chart so that players can find their names and check for typos. Before doing that you should inspect them yourself carefully.

Review Your Player List

The main view should still be showing all your players arranged by ranking (pair number). Use the scrollbar or the page up and page down keys to view any players that don’t fit on the screen. Let’s assume everything looks right to you; you’ll see how to fix typos and other errors in a minute.

Print the Wall Chart

Now get set for your first printout. Make sure your printer is on and has paper. (And that it’s plugged in. I blush to confess I actually called for technical help once under similar circumstances.)

Click on the “Print” button. If all goes well, you should have a hard copy to post for player inspection.

There’s nothing fancy yet. Let’s try a couple of adjustments using the Format options dialog, as described in the next step.
