Pairing System
Run a rated tournament yourself
Pairings, results, standings and printed sheets for any event in the district — a club league, a schools cup, an open, a rapid. Free, no licence, nothing to install. Results publish live as they are entered; only the Ratings Officer can rate an event.
How it works
Based on the FIDE system
Every player starts at 1200. Ratings update after each rated event using an Elo calculation with a K-factor that steps down as a player becomes established, and a monthly cap that prevents a single event from distorting a rating.
All district events count — including friendlies, derbies and arenas.
