Tournament Director for Windows

Tournament Director for Windows is software that helps you run and organise chess tournaments. It includes FIDE rating, swiss pairing and full integration with ECF grading.

Tournament Director for Windows is specifically designed to help you organise, run and report on a chess tournament run to the English Chess Federation (ECF) rules and regulations. It uses your player lists, the ECF Grading list, automatic swiss pairing or all-play-all pairing and a full range of reports including ECF grading submission files and ECF game fee calculation, which will help administer and run your chess tournaments.

For years chess tournaments have been organised using sheets of paper, pairing cards, wall charts and a lot of hard work. Now there is a choice!

Let Tournament Director for Windows take the hard work out of running your chess tournaments.
