Enhancements and changes by version

When creating a new tournament, the default for minimum rest time is now 30 minutes (instead of 45). We've added support for easy creation of any of the six new NFHS weight class options (14/13/12 weights for boys/girls).

TournamentSR, MatchScorerSR, and BoutRunnerSR now support Double Foreit as the result of a match. In this case nobody advances and both wrestlers don't contribute to the team score.

The tutorials on the Help page have been improved. They now include screen images and better instructions.

The program now reduces the spacing of controls when the display resolution is less than 1920 x 1080 pixels. This also works on scaled Mac displays. For scaled Windows computer displays, you may have to manually reduce the scaling closer to 100%.

If you have bracket Divisions and Classifications, the titles can get very long. The print Contestants by team window now includes a control to exclude these titles from the printout.

We've reworked our website. Older versions of TournamentSR can't upload results to this new site. You must use this version of the program to upload results.

Use [Start the Tournament] to move all wrestlers into their initial round matches. You are then asked to confirm you really want to start. As a result, this can be used even when you don't want to start immediately.

If you specify "Minimum" for the bracket size, and "1st, 2nd, two 5ths and two 6ths", ladders with 9 to 16 wrestlers will skip the consolation semifinals. Previous versions required you to set the bracket size to "16" for this option.

All bout cards for Round Robin brackets without a minimum rest can now be printed as soon as the tournament starts. Check the "Create all cards for Round Robin brackets w/ no minimum rest" box on the window that appears via the "File"/"Ladder/Misc. preferences..." menu.

We have renamed TableWorkerSR to BoutRunnerSR to better indicate who uses that program.

Place a computer running MatchScorerSR at each mat and stop using printed bout cards. Workers can practice using MatchScorerSR days or weeks before the tournament.

Importing wrestlers from a preregistration file now allows specifying a column for paid information. This can be viewed and edited on TournamentSR's contestant windows and in RegistrationSR. Printed registration/weigh-in cards indicate "PAID" if the field is non-empty.

When creating a tournament from scratch, choosing college scoring automatically sets the minimum rest to 30 minutes. The technical fall with near fall scoring entry has been removed from bout cards. Terms have been updated to match the NCAA 2017-2019 rulebook.

You can configure brackets with 2 wrestlers to use best 2 out of 3 to determine the champion. Competing only 1 match for such brackets is still an option.

If you use WiFi at the tournament, parents and coaches can highlight all wrestlers from their team on ladders and called match lists. Coaches use this to quickly identify where they need to be for upcoming matches.

You can now create "pool" brackets where the top placers automatically advance to elimination ladders that determine final placing.

You can assign the starting round number to each bracket. This allows you to start some brackets after others.

Brackets viewed in web browsers look correct - no matter which browser or device you use.

When configuring locations (mats) for a session, you have the option of assigning mats by bracket. Previous versions would always assign the first mat - even when others were selected. This has been fixed.

When you create a tournament from an existing file and save the new tournament, version 6.1.2 could corrupt the new file. It would fail to load the next time you used "File"/"Open..." This issue is fixed in 6.1.3.

When you create a tournament from scratch, we now have the correct the CA High School weights for girls and added the NY High School weights for boys.

Recent updates to Android broke the appearance of our bracket web pages. This version fixes the pages saved using the "File"/"Export results in HTML" menu and made available via the "File"/"Start web server" menu. The pages look good on all devices and common web browsers (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE, Edge).

Two different 32-wrestler/5 match limit ladders have been added. A 64-wrestler ladder has also been added. See the example brackets PDF for all possible options when double elimination is selected.

You can now change the bracket size and structure during emergency bracket repair. See the Reference Manual, section 4.10 for all of the new features.

This version changes the way several important features work. Please review Important changes in TournamentSR v6.0.0 for details.

You can now configure the program to automatically adjust down the placing point values if the number of actual wrestlers is less than the number of scored positions configured for the bracket. The option is available in the window activated by the "File"/"Team scoring preferences..." menu.

Make sure you use the new versions of AnnouncerSR, TableWorkerSR, and RegistrationSR with TournamentSR v6.0.0. Older versions of these support programs will not work well.

We've added a "Locations..." button to the session configuration window. When you click that button the resulting window allows you to assign mats to specific brackets or match types (championship or consolation).

The "View", "Staging brackets" window now includes a check box that places all wrestlers into their ladders during bracket creation/assignment. When this is checked you don't need to use the "Seeding" window.

You can now move matches from the unplaced list to suggested locations by double clicking. Double clicking a match in a location specific window moves it back to the unplaced list.

The Ladder/Misc. preferences window now has a check box titled "Fill contestants in round-robin brackets". When this is checked, brackets using Round-Robin format show the contestants in all rounds.

We've updated RegistrationSR and AnnouncerSR to version 5.0.1. Make sure to use latest version of these programs.

TournamentSR has been significantly enhanced to support open tournaments. You can now create brackets, teams, and wrestlers from a single preregistration file. You can enter wrestler's weigh-in weights and then automatically distribute them into brackets based on that information (Madison system).

We've added a new support program specifically for adding/changing wrestlers as they arrive at an open tournament. The program can also be used to enter the actual weight during and after weigh-ins.

You can now download a demonstration version of TournamentSR. Create an account if you don't have one and then log in. The resulting page will include a link to the demo download page. The demo version works for 5 days. You are only allowed to get a demo version once per year.

You can now create a tournament using NCAA weight classes and scoring rules. The bout card appearance changes when using college rules.

The team scores available via WiFi and printouts now include a finalist count column.

The Print menu now includes an option to print one biography sheet for each finalist. Wrestlers fill out and return such sheets for the announcer's use prior to and during the finals.

If the match end time is more than 2 hours different from the current time, TournamentSR asks you for confirmation. This helps prevent end time entry problems when you forget to change PM back to AM for matches that end very late in the morning.

We fixed the problem where team scores didn't always appear in descending order. We also fixed a problem with team scores for incomplete rounds.

The About window now shows the purchaser's name and the program serial number.

Fixed a problem when printing rosters by team or by bracket for use as weigh in sheets. Wrestlers that haven't been placed in the ladder are now correctly marked as needing to weigh in.

Round Robin brackets can now be used for between 3 and 6 wrestlers. Set the bracket "Size:" to "Minimum" and update the "Use Round Robin:" setting as needed.

Previous versions of the program didn't recognize double clicks on the name of the bracket winner and other placers on ladder displays. You can now double click on these names just as anywhere else in the ladder.

Previous versions of the program didn't take pigtail match end times into account for round 1 match earliest start times. Pigtail match winners now have their minimum rest accounted for on their round 1 bout cards.

Testing of 3.4.0 uncovered some odd behavior when the True 2nd and 4th matches were requested, but could not be contested. These have been fixed in this version.

You can now configure each bracket to include True 2nd and True 4th place matches. These get populated only when needed.

The headings and tables available via WiFi and via HTML export now include background colors and improved fonts for easier reading.

You can now print weigh-in cards (two per page) using the new "Print", "Registration cards..." menu option.

We have updated the export placers and team scores (WIAA format) feature so that it generates compliant HTML. We have received notification that files from this version of the program can be successfully submitted to the state tournament.

New controls have been added to the "Import previous tournament placers" window. These controls allow you to easily interleave seeds from multiple placers files. This makes creation of post-district tournaments very easy as you don't need to enter team or contestant names. The seeding can be done manually or automatically.

If your printer supports multiple paper trays (e.g. Epson WorkForce 7010), you can now specify which tray to use for each type of printout. Use the "Default" tray if your printer only has one tray.

You can now enter "Skipped" as the score for any match. This causes no advancement and no bonus points to be awarded. Use this with a larger bracket to allow a 1st round loser to re-enter the tournament in the consolation ladder instead of using pigtail matches.

We are in the process of adding a series of new features to the program. This version includes internal changes in preparation for upcoming features.

When you change the font used on contestant list printouts the changes are remembered. You no longer have to change the font each time print a contestant list.

You can select "Tie" as the result for placing matches (e.g. 3rd/4th). The program automatically averages the two placing points and awards them to both contestants. This option is also available in TableWorkerSR.

This version properly displays and prints consolation placing matches for small bracket sizes. Previous versions could sometimes cut off the results of these matches.

The web server option under the File menu now toggles between on and off. This is helpful when the WiFi router stops working for any reason (e.g. power loss). Rather than reloading the tournament file, you can now just turn off the web server and turn it back on.

The Quick Start Guide has been completely rewritten to better walk you through using the program. Even experienced users should find the new guide informative.

We now support a 3rd/4th place match for single elimination ladders. We have also added 4 new team scoring options for single elimination tournaments.

You can now specify if a wrestler withdraws due to injury or forfeit. The program also enforces the NFHS rule which requires no team placing points be awarded to a wrestler that forfeits his/her final match.

The program can now print result labels for award brackets without first exporting them. We support label template types 5366 and 5260 via the "Print", "Print result labels..." menu. Let us know if you need other label types supported.

The program now automatically saves a copy of your tournament data at the end of each round. You can turn this feature off through the "File", "Ladder/Misc. preferences..." menu.

You can now display and print a page that contains all the pigtail matches in the tournament.

You can now make "emergency" changes to a bracket after the tournament has started. You can add, remove, and reorder wrestlers in the bracket under repair.

If you attempt to import wrestlers for a team that already has some wrestlers, you will be presented with a warning. This helps prevent assigning the wrestlers to the wrong team.

You can now drag wrestler names into the first round matches list from the unplaced list. You can also use drag and drop to move wrestlers around in the first round matches list.

You can now choose to leave out the seeding information in the contestant by bracket and contestant by team printouts.

You can now specify an entire bracket and round number when printing selected (lost) contest cards.

You can now specify the font style and size used on the seeding window. Making the font bigger is useful when projecting the computer display at the seeding meeting.
