Does anyone know of any software that can be used to help with running an X-Wing tournament? I'm looking for something that will do the round assignments and score tracking in accordance with the FFG tournament rules.

Okay, a second later I found something in the works, SWSwiss. Not downloadable anywhere, but a found a mention on A few Maneuvers that referenced SWMGamers . No mention on if or where that software is available, so if anyone knows anything else I'm still interested.

I found an Androind app called Swiss System Tournament by Daniel Hintze. I like it because it auto-populates each round based on scores, and the player registration is a seperate list from your tournaments, meaning once you enter a player's info, they are always available for future tournaments (just select their name to add to another tournament).

It's not the prettiest app, but it does what I need.

Thanks,

Don

I went to SWMGamers, registered, confirmed the e-mail and it still would not let me log in. Did you have any luck getting the software?

I seem to remember having some registration problems as well, but eventually got in. Check your PMs.

I grabbed this and at first glance it looks interesting. I see you can assign points for win/lose/draw, so how do you differentiate for the "modified win" that X-Wing uses?

I e-mailed the developer to request the feature be added for a modified win. He's working on it. Until then, assign a win 1 points and give a player 5 "wins" for a win and 3 "wins" for a modified win.The points may not display correctly, but the pairings should work OK.

Apparently the developer has OK'd a release of the software, as I saw it posted on another forum:

Please remember, it is a work in progress.

While I was waiting to get a copy of SWSwiss I had a crack at making my own tournament organiser.

It is a HTML and Javascript application. The most recent version will be available at http://houseofholden.net/xwing/app/xwing.html

At the time of this posting the GUI still needs some working on. The tables are to spaced out and I think the round results tables should be added back to the round they were calculated in. There is no support for the elimination bracket at the moment, just seeding rounds. There is no undo function. Data isn't saved yet, so hit the back button on the browser and you lose everything (I'm planning on trying the local storage API to save games per browser)

The application handles separating family or group members in the first round if desired. Adjustments can be made to the round ordering and error markers will appear if the match has already occurred at least once. The final round sorts on points, then winners and then strength of schedule. The ranking rounds sort on points and then assign matches based on the FFG tournament ordering (i.e. based on order of name entry).

This is just a playing application (I wanted to get familiar with jQuery and do some more Javascript programming). If I continue developing it I'll add a proper back-end to make it easier to load player names, save competition status and undo changes.

The latest version of this software can be found on AFewManeuvers.com .

I heard that FFG made one. If so, anyone have the link?
