Hey, I will be helping to host a tournament at a local library. None of these kids have ratings or anything. But, I decided that a Swiss tournament would still be the best way to do it. We could have tie-brak blitz at the end to determine 1st/2nd/3rd. So, my questions are: -Is there a better way tha

None of these software is likely to help to organize a tournament that happened 12 years ago.

The merits of the matter are not about the tournament 12 years ago.

Next and next people are looking for suitable software for swiss-system tournaments.

So the discussion is still relevant today.

No.

I have an Asus EEE netbook from 2009. It has Windows XP (please don't laugh). But Swiss Manager requires Windows7+. Furthermore, the Asus EEE has a screen resolution of 1024x600. Swiss Manager requires at least 1024x768. Because Swiss Manager waste of space, on some screens the window is cut off - right where the OK and Cancel buttons are.

And then the 150 EUR for one license.

For me: Swiss Manager is unusable.

And because I have already organized three years of rapid tournaments (i.e. 3 x 16 tournaments), I had to create my own program (VinczeSwiss).
