Registration Tools

helpful features. Network mode — This causes each player you register to be saved automatically to your network database, if you have declared one.

See the topic network mode for more details. Tabs** — This command allows you to tell SwissSys which fields you want to be able to tab to and which ones you want to ignore.

If, for instance, you only use the player’s name, ID, rating, and State, youcan exclude all the others from the tab list.

This makes it unnecessary to hit the tab key repeatedly just to get down to the state field.** Members — This gives you quick access to the USCF membership forms dialog. Registration setup** — This command allows you access to three of the registration support functions.

You can setup your database (identical to the Database | Database setup** command); you can change the name and path of your current club list (for use in importing the players at registration); and you can change your section setup (identical to the **Setup | Tournament setup menu command.) Warn if expired** — This option and the two that follow are also available from the Environment options dialog.

This one tells SwissSys whether you want a warning when trying to register a player whose membership has expired.** **Ratings registration rule **— This tells SwissSys to load a player into the proper section based on the player’s rating.

For this to work, you must have set the rating range for your sections to mutually exclusive values. Age/Grade registration rule **— This acts just like the above option, only it looks at the age/grade filed to determine which section to put the player in. **
