I open sourced the project this week:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pairfx/


enjoy!

indeed, thanks a lot!

Hi everybody,

I wrote a new chess pairing program free for you to use.
The program is completely It is translated in Dutch, English and French.

The pairing system allows to add and remove players 'on the fly' and still give it tries to let people play as much against the same level of opposition as possible.

It was written to be used in schools, but it suits just as well in the chess club for youth tournaments and ladder competitions that last all year and every week who is there can be paired.


It has already a lot of features but is in the same time super simple in use (it was one of the main ideas during development since it had to be used in schools).

You can start tournaments, add,edit,remove players and put them absent. You can pair according to percentage or points (and adjust this), there are tournament exports to print. 
For bigger tournaments: The program can even start a web server so that you can surf to it and see the new pairings (to project somewhere in the tournament hall). 

I totally plan to open source it but I'm not there yet.

Please have a look, try it out, spread the link in your club. I was a lot of work, I hope it is useful to you.

Since I'm new here I can not yet post a link. But if you google 'PairFX' it is the top hit. (click 'this site in english')

Feedback is welcome!
