The following operations are available from the Master (Player) menu. Most are only enabled if a Master Player Window is the active window.
New Master List...
Creates a new Master Player File. You will be prompted for the name you want to assign to the file. We use the extension .ppl for the player lists.
Open Master List...
Opens an existing Master Player File and displays the contents in a new window.
Add a Player
Adds a player to the active master player file. This brings up the Add/Edit A Player Dialog Box.
Add to section
Adds players from the Master Player Window to a tournament section. To use this operation, you must first:
a) Select (highlight) a section from the active Sections Window, and
b) Select one or more players from a Master Player Window
Doing Add to section will add the selected players to the selected tournament section. Note that menu operation will reflect the name of the current tournament section. For example, if the selected section is "High-School" the menu operation will read Add to High-School.
See How To: Add Players to a Tournament for other (and often simpler) ways to add players from a master file into your tournament.
Update from Tournament
For players in the active master player file who are entered in a tournament, this computes updated local ratings for those players using the results of the active tournament. See Local Ratings for details.
Update Grades
Looks at the "Prize Group" field, and if it finds numbers, this increments them by one. It will also convert a K (for kindergarten) to the number 1.
This allows you to generate unique "local" ID's for players who are new to your master file and don't have USCF ID's.
This allows you to import player information into WinTD from a tab-delimited text, comma-delimited text, Excel (XLS or XLSX) or Lotus WKS format file.
Convert SwisSys Club File...
This imports players from a SwisSys club file into a WinTD master player file. Note that WinTD master files include some fields not present in SwisSys club files, and vice versa. Thus you should review the imported records and add or edit information as needed.
