Submit For Grading

This displays the results of submitting a tournament for BCF Grading. It displays a summary of the tournament and any problems with the submission. Colour coding is used to highlight the different type of messages.

Summary Tab

The Summary tab displays key information about the submission. Event code, number of players, number of results, number of players with at least one result, number of new players, submission index and most importantly the number of errors.

If the system identifies any errors, it will not create the submission file. Details of the errors are displayed on the other tabs. These errors must be corrected and then the process re-run to create a valid submission file.

If you double click on this tab, the system will display the Tournament details dialogue, and the details will be updated. These details will not be refreshed.

It is recommended that you use the BCF provided submission checker before sending in any files. This software is kept up to date, so that any file created by Tournament Director will be a valid BCF Submission file. However this can not be guaranteed as the rules change over time.

Event Tab

The Event Tab reports if there are missing details for the tournament. If all details are correct a simple confirmation message will be displayed.

Full details are displayed for the tournament. Any missing details are displayed in red. To update the tournament details, double click on the dialogue and the Tournament details dialogue will be displayed and the details can be updated. The details on this tab will not reflex the updates.

Players Tab

The Players Tab is the main tab and displays key details about the players in the tournament.

It lists each player and the tournaments and reports:

• If the player has a BCF Code, their details are checked against the details held on the BCF Grading List. Any differences are highlighted. Any additional data is acknowledged.
• If a player has not got a BCF Code the system looks at the BCF Grading list for potential matches. All potential matches are listed with a 'percentage' match to show the likely hood of a correct match. The data is also validated to make sure it is complete.

If you double click on a player, the Player details dialogue is displayed and player details can be updated. Any changes will not be reflected on the details on this dialogue.

Results Tab

The Results tab display details of the total number of results included on the file and a cross table for the results. The cross table can be compared back to the cross table from the tournament to check that it is complete. However this cross table does not include points for byes (as these are not included on the submission file).

Double clicking on this dialogue will display the Pairing and Results dialogue so that the details can be updated if required. Any updates are not reflected on this dialogue.

File Tab

The File Tab allows you to view the contents of the file (if required).
