Import Results From File - Pairings Menu
Use this command to read in a list of results from a text file. It takes the place of entering results in the pair chart by hand if you have an alternative method of generating results in a file.
Such a results file consists of one result key (L,D, W), forfeit key (F,Z,X, plus ^, which stands for a double forfeit in these files), or bye key (U,H,B) per line.
These keys correspond to the results that should be listed for the white player in the pair chart (from top to bottom).
The number of these results must equal the number of entries in the pair chart.
Missing or unreported results may be marked with an M.
In the case of bye values, the keys act solely as place holders. Since SwissSys calculates the bye score automatically, no change to a bye score is made by using a results file.
Other information, such as the board number or player names, may precede the result key on its line, but the result key itself must be the last thing on the line.
As a guard against importing the wrong round, the file may also begin with a statement of what round these results are for, like this:
Round 3If this round number does not match the current round, the operation will be canceled with an error message.
