Competitors fixup

It was seen already, it will happen again: somebody gave you the wrong name, or you misunderstood or whatever, but now you have a tourney with the wrong player and you need to manually tweak the list of competitors.

Important

You may fix the problem at any time, even after the price-giving. However be sure to do that before sharing the tourney's data with another instance of SoL, otherwise the same manual fix shall be repeated on the other side(s) as well.

The tourneys window offers a Competitors button that will show the usual grid window with the competitors of that particular tourney. You cannot insert or delete players from here (use the Competitors panel functionalities for that), you can just replace any player with any other one.

Warning

Little to none verifications are done, so you better be sure of what you are doing, checking twice before confirming the changes. For example, the combos let you insert the same player twice, that won't be accepted by the database and will cause an error.

Position

Some system of tournaments, in particular when used with the standard seeding pairing method, require competitors to be sorted by their strength, usually their rate.

When a rating is not associated to the tourney, or when multiple competitors have the same rate, then an explicit position may be assigned manually here: the values are arbitrary, and they are relative, not absolute: competitors will be sorted accordingly, in ascending order.

The Assign positions action in the menu automatically reassigns an incremental number, starting from 1 (one), to all competitors in the exact order presented in the grid.

If inserted, the positions have priority over the rates of the competitors.
