Registration Dialog Options

The options submenu of the registration dialog offers a few useful options:

Use Enter key for

Use this to control how the registration dialog responds when you hit the enter key.

Your choices are:

• Tab key behavior - Treat Enter the same as the tab key
• Search and load - Do an instant search and load of the database to find a match of the player name or ID which you have typed (allows further editing of the player data)
• Scan mode - Enter key both loads the player information from the database and registers the player automatically

If SwissSys finds duplicate matches it issues a warning when in scan mode.

Forced Name Format

Choose from several name formatting options:

• None - Leave names exactly as found
• Initial uppercase - Capitalize first letter of each name
• All uppercase - USCF standard format
• Last name uppercase - Only last name in capitals

In the all uppercase (USCF) format there is no space between the comma and the first name so that the format matches the standard USCF format.

The mixed-case formats do leave a space for easier legibility.

Provisional Ratings

You may have SwissSys handle provisional ratings in several ways:

• Ignore - Treat provisional ratings as established ratings
• Flag - Mark all provisionally rated players for tracking
• Warn - Alert you every time a provisional rating is encountered

Warn if Expired

If checked, you will receive a warning if a membership has expired.
