Update Players from USCF or FIDE Site

Open the command

Go to Internet > Update players from USCF or FIDE site.

Configure update options

The Update Options dialog appears. Configure the Rating Search settings at the top (federation, rating source, supplement date, etc.), then check which data fields to update in the Data to update section:

• Rating - Primary rating
• Rating 2 - Secondary rating
• Expirations - Membership expiration dates
• Name and State - Player name and state information
• Other data - Additional player data fields

Choose section scope and start

To update only the current section, leave Update all sections unchecked and click OK. To update every section in the tournament, check Update all sections and click OK. When updating all sections, the Pause after each section checkbox controls the workflow. When checked (the default), SwissSys pauses after each section so you can review results before continuing. When unchecked, all sections are processed in batch and a single combined summary is shown at the end.

Review changes

SwissSys searches for each player online. If a player’s data differs from what is in the tournament, a confirmation prompt appears:

• Skip - Leave this player unchanged
• Update - Accept changes for this player
• Update all - Accept all remaining changes without further prompts
• Cancel - Abort the entire operation

View results

When complete, a results dialog shows two lists: Updated players (left) and Players not found (right). Click OK to close.
