I’ve just finished a small tournament. I click on “Make USCF Report” and I receive the following error alert:
“Section open has games without results correct this before doing report.”
I think I’ve found the problem, but I don’t know how to correct it. I have a player who withdrew while I was making the 2nd round pairings. However I made the mistake, the crosstables now show her being paired with someone else who withdrew after round one. I need to change her second round pairing to be a zero point bye. Any suggestions as to how one might do this? (The crosstables do not show the other person being paired with her.)
The down and dirty way (though not exactly proper) is to pair these two against each other (section–>enter manual pairing) in round two and give them a double forfeit (double click on the game) as a result. There are other better ways that take more explanation or a view of the videos I have on-line.
Edit: I am assuming you already deleted the game in round 2 that this player was paired in and then tried to give him a 0 point bye (with a 1 point bye going to the opponent).
A few years back I had some kind of glitch in Swis-Sys occur mid-way through the day of an event I was directing.
It locked up and required a reboot of the computer and when I brought the event back up at least two sections were corrupted.
I wound up redoing all four sections (with around 90 players) from the pairing sheets. I think it took me less than 20 minutes to redo the whole thing starting from the pre-registration file. Fortunately, I always keep written change orders for bye requests, withdrawals, etc. (Usually I make the players sign them, too.) Not a single round was delayed.
