Each row refers to a player indicated by the ID number. Then follows his score. The red box show a
whole score group (players having the same points). Each score group is separated by a blank row.
The ‘Col’ column indicate the color preference for the new pairing (in our case it is the round 9).
These are the used codes:
W : absolute white preference
B : absolute black preference
wW : almost absolute white preference (A7.d – odd round)
bB : almost absolute black preference (A7.d – odd round)
w : strong white preference (even round) or weak white preference (odd round)
b : strong black preference (even round) or weak black preference (odd round)
Aw : variable white preference (A7.e – even round)
Ab : variable black preference (A7.e – even round)
A : no preference (if never played)
The color history shows the color given to a player. The sign ‘-‘ means that in a round he didn’t
play. This sign appear always at the beginning of the list irrespective of when it really occurred.
The column pF and lF shows the floater history at the penultimate and last round respectively. ‘V’
means he was a downfloater; ‘A’ means he was an upfloater.
The columns ‘Cur’ indicate the new calculated pairing (opponent and assigned color).
The remaining columns Rx refer to the opponent at previous rounds.
32. I can’t get the first pairing from JaVaFo
Please install the Java runtime at 32 bit.
33. The tournament I run used the FIDE rating as principal rating. However the national
history card show still players with FIDE rating instead of the national one.
The National History card is based on the rating used for pairing purpose. In your case it is the
FIDE rating. In case you run the tournament using the national rating then the history card will look
as you expect. In other words I do not recommend to show the history cards in your case.
34. How can I enable/disable the virtual opponent in Buchholz tiebreak?
