Tournament Managers

Post by Robert Pope »

Has anyone done a comparison of the pros and cons of the various Winboard Tournament Managers?

I like Pradu's PSWBTM, but it doesn't look like it prints crosstables, just how many points for each entrant. I've tried one or two others, but they seemed to have a lot more effort involved in getting a tournament going.

I want something simple that I can kick off quickly to test changes in my program. But that can do gauntlets or round robins, and can start from the beginning of a game or from a predetermined set of positions. Any suggestions, or comments on the preferred managers?
