Move Player - Players Menu

There are two ways to move players, if you find you have mistakenly entered them in the wrong section. One way is using this menu command.

You can also copy or “duplicate” players from one section (which you can use as a master list) to other sections. A better way in most cases is to use the drag and drop technique on the player or players you want to move.

Select the player or players to be moved or duplicated in the player roster and drag them to the section panel representing the section you want to move them to.

SwissSys then asks which kind of move operation you want to perform: A simple move, which deletes the player from the current roster as it performs the move, or a duplication, which just copies the player to the target section without doing any deletion.

If you use the Move - Players menu command, the dialog that appears shows the current player roster. Highlight the player you want to move, choose a destination section (or other file) to move that player to, then click the “Move” button. If a round is under way and not yet completed, and if the player already has been paired, then you will not be able to do the move.

You would then first have to finish the round and clear all that player’s results, either using the Edit | Clear selected results menu, or by using the click and drag shortcut technique described above, which can clear player results automatically once the round is done.

Note: For some tournaments you can cut down on mistaken entries by using the “Ratings registration rule” and the “Age/Grade registration rule”, as listed in the Environment Options dialog.
