Guidelines for the Use of DCI Reporter 1.5 with Netrunner tournaments
Preliminaries
Before the program ist even started up, I should be informed that a
tournament is going to be held. Tournament data should include: - date
(in the format dd.mmm.yyyy, e. g., 12.Feb.2001) - name of the
tournament - tournament format (Constructed/Limited) - city, country,
ZIP code - phone number (complete with country access code, please) -
head judge's DCI number in the 8-digit format (only if head judge does
not participate in the tournament; otherwise, make a note that the
3-Judge-System is being used). Please email these tournament data to:
nagy@darkpact.de. If you have
contact to your local DCI Administrator or somebody who can upload
tournament results of Magic tournaments you can give him this
information instead.
Setup for a new Tournament
Select Create New Tournament in the menu file (or press Ctrl-N). Now
check the box that says "Netrunner". The option for team play does not
work in connection with Netrunner just now, but will be enabled as
soon as possible. The tournament should then be given a name,
corresponding to the one mailed to me earlier. As sanctioning number,
enter WO-99-999999. I will then replace it with the correct number.
Afterwards, also enter the number of rounds to be played. In a pinch,
this can be altered later if you select Tournament Setup in the File
menu (or press Ctrl-S).
Player Registration
Select Players in the Edit menu (or press F2). Here, all players are
simply entered. PIN is a player's DCI number. Please do not enter TRC
tags, since they are not needed for the transmission of the data. All
players must have a DCI number. In case a player does not have one, a
new number must be assigned. If a player refuses to be assigned a DCI
number, he or she may either not participate in the tournament, or the
tournament cannot be considered for the world ranking list. After the
tournament, players' data can be saved for future tournaments in an
individual little file by selecting Local Players in the File menu (or
pressing Ctrl-L) and using the Add Tournament button. Should such a
file already exist and be currently open, the program will
automatically supply the corresponding name if given a PIN number.
The Tournament
Select Pairing in the Perform menu (or press F7). Pairings for a new
round will now be generated. The pairings can be reviewed once more or
printed by selecting Pairings by Player either in the View menu (or
pressing F5) or the Print menu (or pressing F9), respectively. If
needed, paper slips to be filled out by the players after each match
can be printed out by selecting Result Entry Slips in the Print menu.
The results are then entered after selecting Results Entry in the Edit
menu (or pressing F3). Just enter the corresponding results for each
player and generate pairings for a new round when all results have
been entered.
The Winner
During the tournament as well as afterwards, an actual ranking list
can be reviewed by selecting Standings in the View menu (or pressing
F6) or printed out by selecting Standings in the Print menu (or
pressing F11). This list also incorporates the points scored as Corp
and Runner by each player, in case they should be of interest.
After the tournament
Just pack all files related to the tournament (recognizable by the
tournament code in the filename) and email them to me
(nagy@darkpact.de) or wherever
you sent your registration data. This should be done within seven
days after the tournament.
