Welcome to WinTD, a Windows-based pairing program for chess tournament directors. You can use this program to:
Set up Swiss System or Round Robin tournaments for individuals and teams
Compute and print pairings for each tournament round
Enter and print game results
Generate and print prize lists
Set up and maintain databases of players and teams
The on-line help is divided into the following main sections. If you are new to the program, we recommend that you begin with "Getting Started." Note that almost all the dialogs and windows are set for "contextual help" if you hit the F1 (help key).
If you've used earlier versions of the program, see the list of New Features in Version 4.2.
