Standings Formatting

This dialog page controls the appearance of the standings list. Here are the options you can set:

Primary sort

Standings (and the wall chart) can be sorted many different ways. If “Standings” itself is not the primary sort, then it becomes automatically the secondary sort, with tiebreaks included.

If you are running a fixed-roster team event and want to award prizes based on team points (rather than match points) you can sort the team standings by game wins.

Usually you will also want to set the tiebreak to “game points” and turn on the “show tiebreaks” option in this same standings formatting dialog as well.

Secondary sort

Choose between pair number order and score (rank) order.

Note that this secondary sort choice applies to both wall chart and standings listings.

Display options

Order numbers — Number the players either with their standings rank or with their pair numbers.

Math symbols — If checked, SwissSys will use math symbols (+,=,-) to mark results in the charts instead of the letters (W,D,L).

Note that you are not allowed to edit the chart using these symbols; you must turn off this feature to edit the chart.

Show I.D., Show ratings, etc. — Show the fields in this group or don’t.

Show unfinished rounds — This option tells SwissSys to display the most recent round paired in the standings, even if results have not yet been reported.

Show tiebreaks — You have three options here: Do not display tiebreaks (even if you have them set); display tiebreaks; or only display tiebreaks in the final round (when they really count).

Show prizes — As with tiebreaks, you have three options here: display them, don’t display them, or only display them for the final round.

Show place — If checked, a column will be shown displaying the place or place range in the standings of each player up to the limit you enter in the box shown.
