Trf Files

SwissSys supports reading and saving files as .trf files (tournament report format), which is the format that FIDE uses.

SwissSys uses the current TRF standard from 2016.

Opening TRF Files

To open a TRF file, use the File | Open command.

Saving TRF Files

To save a TRF file (normally for submitting a rating report to FIDE):

  1. Select Utilities | Ratings Report for FIDE (Krause format)
  2. You will be prompted for specific tournament information such as:
    • Tournament dates
    • Arbiters
    • Other required details

Important Note

A SwissSys file holds much more information than is supported in TRF format. When sharing files with other tournament directors, use the SwissSys files themselves if possible to preserve all tournament data.
