Dialog Box: Game Result

The Game Result dialog box allows you to enter, change, or view the result of a game. This is the standard version for a paired game.

Entering Results

WinTD will bring up this dialog box whenever you do one of the following

•double-click on a game in a Games Window.

•double-click on a game field in a Players Window.

•select a game in a Games Window, and do Games>Enter Scores...

•if you type an "F" (for forfeits) while using Quick Keys to enter results.

•if you enter (using Quick Keys) a result that differs from a result already entered for that game.

As you can see, this dialog box provides radio buttons for the various possible outcomes of the game: a win by either player, a draw, an unplayed draw, a forfeit win by either player, a double forfeit, or no result. To enter a result, click on the appropriate radio button and click on OK.

The player listed on the first line (Sarah Anderson in this example) played White.

Viewing/Changing Results

If a result has already been entered, this will be shown by the position of the radio button when the dialog box appears (i.e. if a draw result had already been entered, the "Draw" radio button would be on when the dialog box opens). You can change the result by simply clicking on a different radio button and hitting OK.

Forfeits

A "forfeit" here refers to an unplayed game. A time forfeit is scored as a regular win or loss.

Withdrawals

You can use this dialog box to withdraw (check out) players as well—just turn on the check box for the player who is withdrawing. If necessary, you can use the check in operation to put withdrawn players back into the tournament.

Note that WinTD will automatically turn on the "player withdraws" check box for any player who forfeits. If you don't want that player withdrawn, be sure to turn off the withdrawal check box before clicking on OK.

Note: You can also enter game results using the Quick Entry keys.

Game Result for Byes/Unplayed Games

This is the version that is popped up for an unplayed game (if you select a bye or a round with no game). You can choose the desired result using the buttons.
