A Better Way to Pair

Pairing a round is the one job every organizer has to get right, usually while the room fills up and the clock runs down. We rebuilt the pairing page so you can generate a whole round in a few clicks, or build it by hand when you want full control.

The New Pairing Workflow

Auto-Generate

Open Configure Round and the Auto-Generate dialog appears.

1. Tick the competitors taking part. Uncheck late drops and no-shows.
2. Enter the number of tables available.
3. Click Generate.

Pairings appear instantly, with tables set to Auto. Tables are assigned in order when the round is confirmed. Click Proceed, review the summary, and click Create.

Build By Hand

Prefer full control? Dismiss the dialog and add pairing slots yourself.

• Drag competitors from the Excluded area into a slot.
• Drop only one competitor into a row and they receive a bye.
• Pin a pairing to a specific table, or leave it on Auto.

Editing Existing Pairings

Returning to a round that already has pairings loads them as they are. Move competitors between slots, change the table count, or replace everything with a fresh auto-generated set. A confirmation step makes sure you never discard pairings by accident.

Subsequent Rounds

From round two onward, pairing rows show history. A red indicator warns when two competitors have already met, or when two pairings share a table number.

The full walkthrough lives in our Creating Pairings guide.
