How to Create a True Swiss Style Tournament
On this page you can find a step by step tutorial on how to create a True Swiss Tournament and you have got a picture with each step too.
What Is A True Swiss Tournament
In True Swiss System format, the number of rounds is preset by the TD before the tournament starts and regardless of the number of participants, the number of rounds does not change once the tournament begins. After all the rounds are completed the player with the most points wins. If there is no conclusive point leader there is no winner of the tournament.

3. Select Ladder
Click on the little arrow and select td training. I have underlined it for you too. This will be the league that you´re a td for when you do a real tournament.
4. TD Administration Centre
Now you are logged into the TD Administration Centre. Click on Create Tournaments. I have put a square around it for you too.
5. Choosing Your Tournament Format
Now you´re in the tournament Setup Center. If you click on the little arrow you will see that you have got 3 different formats to choose from. These are Single-Elim, Double-Elim and Swiss System.
I have chosen to use Bracket Swiss System as this is what I´m helping you on and then just Click on submit. I have underlined submit for you.
6. Tournament Calendar
On this page you will choose the date you want your tournament to run. For Example: If you wanted a tour on the 30th April 2011 you would click on that date. Today´s date is always highlighted in Red.
7. Choosing Your Tournament Time
On this page you would choose what time you want your Tournament to run. For Example: I have chosen to run the fake tour at 04:00am and I have put a square around it for you.
8. Creating Tournament (Part One)
Now we need to do the Tournament Settings and this is what the page looks like.
9. Creating Tournament (Part Two)
Now you can see I have added the information that i need to add. I have added a name of the tournament, what the game is, where the tournament is being held, number of rounds, and how many minutes between rounds and LADDERBUX´S SETTINGS. I have also put a square around what I have edited. For Example: TD JUNGLE GIN TOURNAMENT as the name, Jungle Gin as the game, JUNGLE GIN/ADV/BUTTERFLY PALACE as where the tournament is being held, number of rounds 9, 15 minutes, True Swiss No. LadderBux Settings: Because this is a fake tour you will not charge an entry fee and I have underlined this for you. In a real Tournament your League will tell you how many Ladderbux´s to charge for each Tournament so For Example: you might charge 100 LadderBux for a Swiss System Tourney so you would mark LadderBux entry fee; LadderBux to top finishers and click on little arrow and select 100. Now click on Create Tournament.
You might want to add a backdoor link to your tournament page and to do that you will need to Click Here to get your backdoor URL. Now once you have found your game and the room name you will need to right click on the room name and click on Copy Link address. Now you will need to paste it in the box by Game Room Link.
10. Your Tournament Is Created
You will see this page so you will know that your tournament has been created. Now click on Return to TD Centre. I have put a square around it for you.
