Competitors fixup

It was seen already, it will happen again: somebody gave you the wrong name, or you misunderstood or whatever, but now you have a tourney with the wrong player and you need to manually tweak the list of competitors.

Important

You may fix the problem at any time, even after the price-giving. However be sure to do that before sharing the tourney's data with another instance of SoL, otherwise the same manual fix shall be repeated on the other side(s) as well.

The tourneys window offers a Competitors button that will show the usual grid window with the competitors of that particular tourney. You cannot insert or delete players from here (use the Competitors panel functionalities for that), you can just replace any player with any other one.

Warning

Little to none verifications are done, so you better be sure of what you are doing, checking twice before confirming the changes. For example, the combos let you insert the same player twice, that won't be accepted by the database and will cause an error.

Position

In special cases, in particular in knockout tournaments, you may want to explicitly set the position of each competitor: it will be used to determine the initial ranking that in turn influences the generation of the first round.

The values are arbitrary, and they are relative, not absolute: competitors will be sorted accordingly, in ascending order.

If inserted, the positions have priority over the rating of the competitors.
