Chess Arbiter Tools

Project description

# arbitools Chess Arbiter Tools **************************************************************************************** arbitools —— Version 0.9 ***************************************************************************************** Copyright David Gonzalez Gandara 2015 This is free software. Read the LICENSE file for details.

Arbitools is a collection of programs that allow chess arbiters to manage a chess tournament. This is something that traditionally was possible only with non-free software. Arbitools tries to set the GNU way to do it.

It is written in Python 3. It should work in other platforms apart from GNU/Linux.

FEATURES: Up to here, the following tasks are possible:

  • Updating the players data in the database file. You can add missing data like the ELOs, FIDE and nat ID, etc. Supported formats for the database are: .csv, .txt (fide official), .veg

  • Adding a list of extra players to an existing database file.

  • Produce output for standings: a .txt file and a .tex file, ready for pdflatex

TODO: - Pairing engine. Arbitools doesn’t do the pairings in this moment. The Dutch algorithm is tricky to implement and difficult to get officially endorsed by FIDE. I recommend the use of JavaPairing (javapairing.sourceforge.net). The program is able to do a pairing from arbitools output. - Detect duplicated players in the elo list and warn the user about it. - Generate PGN files. - Appliying tiebreaks. - Producing FIDE reports.

DEPENDENCIES - python3 - lxml -> only if you need xml files from FIDE. - xlrd -> only if you need xls files from FEDA.

For more details, refer to the manual.
