Massive update
It's been over a month since my last update. This hasn't been due to lack of progress, but rather, laziness! In fact, quite a bit has taken place since my last update!
Here's a quick summary of the features I've added in the past month:
- Support for repechage from 16 or 32
- Scaling of the DE tree view. You can view the tree on-screen in five different sizes, which is especially helpful for small screens (such as on a laptop). Printed trees can now be printed in three sizes too. In both cases, the current size that FT uses is now the "medium" size.
- Tables on the DE trees now have titles associated with them ("Table A (32)", etc.)
- Printing DE bout slips is now more flexible - you can print slips by quadrant or octant, and you can print "partial" slips (where one opponent is not yet known). You can also now have FT fill printed pages with blank slips - this is a nice way to avoid wasting paper when you have only one bout to print.
- Fencers that withdraw during a non-pool round can be "un-withdrawn"
That's the bulk of the changes. Last month a tournament at NYAC was run using a pre-release version of FT and was able to test out the new seeding by points and repechage features. I received a lot of great feedback as a result of that, and am in the process of making a lot of suggested changes.
Work is ongoing, of course... I have a large list of fairly random things that I'm currently chipping away at. Hopefully I'll also keep the blog more up-to-date!
