The RTG is a freely available tool that, preferably run from a command prompt, can easily generate many simulated tournaments producing a full TRF (TRF16) file for each of them. Then, for each round, the checker must rebuild the tournament, pair the round using the embedded pairing engine, and output a report describing which pairings are or are not consistent with those produced by the pairing engine. The checker must be able to read FIDE_Report_File.fid when coded in TRF16 and should be able to read it when coded in TRF06 (within the limitations of such a format). What it is expected from a checker is the possibility to launch yourprogram.exe from a command prompt with some parameters, like in: yourprogram.exe -check FIDE_Report_File.fid The regular services it offers are not relevant from the (External Pairings) checker viewpoint. It is (normally) launched by a command prompt or double-clicking on it. See Annex-2/TRF16 or TRF06 for the descriptions of the current FIDE Data Exchange Format (version 2016, also called TRF16) or the old one (version 2006, also called TRF06).Īn External Pairings Checker is a tool, embedded in the main program and containing the pairing engine, that can be freely used by anyone (without the user interface).įor instance, be yourprogram.exe the name of the program executable. Should the error not be fixed within the stipulated timeframe, the endorsement of the programs will be automatically suspended until the error is fixed to the satisfaction of the “Systems and Pairings Committee Council” Major errors must be fixed within two weeks after from the time the secretary send the notification and within two months for minor errors.

If an error is discovered or reported in an endorsed software program, the secretary of the “Systems of Pairings and Programs” will send a notification to the supplier of the program to correct the error. In the latter case, the program reverts to the status of a new program to endorse. If, during the period of validity of the endorsement (see A.8), a breach of the above conditions is reported to the SPPC, and verified by the Commission, the endorsement may be immediately suspended (pending further investigation) or permanently revoked. The FIDE mode may also offer additional services or functionalities, provided that they are not explicitly prohibited by FIDE, on condition that those services and functionalities may not cause pairing mishaps for FIDE mode users.

The endorsement procedure for a pairing systemĮach author of a program that helps to manage a chess tournament can apply for the FIDE endorsement by submitting an FE-1 form (see Annex-1).įor an endorsement application to be considered, the program must be able to manage Swiss tournaments using the FIDE (Dutch) System (see C.04.3) or any other pairing systems approved by FIDE (see C.04.4.1-3). To avoid misunderstandings and to support both the organisers and the arbiters, FIDE recommends the use of computer programs endorsed by FIDE itself, after a successful endorsement procedure. To manage big Swiss tournaments, the use of computer programs, to handle players’ data, pairings and results, is necessary.
