SOSS
SOSS is software which pairs the players in chess
tournaments, a so called "chess pairing program".
SOSS is a bit different from other chess pairing programs in
that it has a strong focus on the complete event, not only the pairing.
Allegro is used as the graphical platform for SOSS.
Features include:
- The method for entering the results can be chosen to any
(or a combination) of: keyboard, mouse click and bar code reader(s)
- Manage multiple groups in the same session (e.g. different
age-groups in youth events)
- Carries out splitting into multiple sub groups based on
average rating if necessary
- Clubs are real objects. This minimises the risk that
players from the same
club appears as coming from different due to mis-spelling of the club
name. This is important if team competitions are used
- Multiple competitions in one event
- Simple to define different types of team competitions,
based on individual competitions
- Manages the "Schack-4" (chess-4) type of tournament
- Also manages leaders etc. (especially useful in youth
events)
- Administrates e-mail and web addresses
- Can also be used for bookings like entrance fees
- The print outs can be adapted in an arbitrary way
concerning the format as well as the content
- Generates attractives web pages with customised content
(e.g. the current standings, the final results etc.)
