Create a section in the normal fashion, but in the "Section Type" area of the Add/Edit a Section Dialog Box, choose "Team" (or "Board-Weighted Team" for a board-weighted tournament) . This will activate a box asking for the number of boards. Enter the desired number of boards. It will also activate the "Play in Rating Order" check box. Switch that on if your rules require that teams play in rating order. If you allow the teams to play in an order of their own choosing, make sure that that is switched off.


  1. Make the other choices in the normal fashion. Your choice for rating priority for pairing numbers will be applied on a player by player basis in computing the team average rating and board order.


  1. The "Pair Teammates?" choices now apply to the team versus team matches. If a school can field more than one team, and you don't want them to play each other, you can use these choices to restrict the pairing process. Just set the team or club fields for the entries for the separate teams so they match for teams whose pairings are to be restricted.
