FFG Tournament Management Sofrware

By Tekwych, in Living Card Games

I know the software is in beta and not ready for public discussion yet but I want to make a final request, Please, FFG, make sure this software is fully cross platform. Support Mac and Windows and iOS as well. Being able to gather results and assigning matches from a iPad in the middle of the gaming floor is almost a must for 'usable' tournament software.

That said. Can anyone comment on how tournaments have gone that are testing the software?

I would not suggest any TO use it at a Regional Event in it's current form. It is to prone to base errors presently, such as pairing players that have already played in the Swiss Rounds. Given that some events can be large in size, the Premier level of the events, and fact that some players are driving considerable distances; I think it would be inappropriate for a TO to utilize beta software. As such I think it was inappropriate for FFG to ask TOs to do so.

Additionally TOME purposefully calculates SoS in a manner contradicting the established tournament rules and FFGs own event inserts. While it is FFGs product that shouldn't supercede the established and available event rules.

Is NRTM up to the task of running a regional? I don't think i've *ever* been to a premiere event that didn't have some kind of management frakup.
