Hello All:
I would like to create a rated tournament here at home with about seven weaker engines and actually play in it-- I have some questions:
Winboard or Arena?
Which additional programs (for rating calc., automated play for the engines, crosstables, general management) should I get?
I want total control over the schedule-- is it possible to play or schedule one or two games at a time?
I would appreciate any information from those who have actually tried this-- any tips or tricks would be great!
Lou

Re: Creating Tournaments and including myself?
I do that for over 6 years now,so my answer is definitely Arena 
You can start the tournament,take a full control over the schedual of the tournament,edit the tournament file,generate a beautiful tournament table,etc.

Hi Louis
I would recommend Arena too. I have another suggestion though and that is just use one engine like TSCP and play over a period of time say at least 20 games. Then Arena can give you a more accurate rating for yourself.
