Limitations of the Fide-only Version
The special version of SwissSys called the FIDE-only version is exactly like the regular version except that the following functions are not available:
Unavailable features
- U.S. pairing system
- Pairing options disallowed by FIDE’s strict pairing rules (e.g., the “soft” pairing restrictions, where pairings are avoided unless doing so requires pairing out of the score bracket)
- Plus-2 team pairing system
- USCF and CFC rating reports
- Quick set-up of the USCF database
- USCF membership forms and other reports specific to USCF events
Upgrading to the full version
If you have the FIDE-only version and would like to upgrade to the regular version, you may do so quickly and easily by paying the difference in price between the two releases.
You do not even need to reinstall the program, you just need the unlocking code for the full version.
In the regular version of SwissSys all options are accessible, permitting you to run both FIDE and USCF events.
