Development and purpose

The DraughtsArbiter program was created by the International Draughts Federation to standardize the process of organizing tournaments. Its main purpose is to automate the drawing of lots, maintain results, and simplify reporting for updating the international ranking.

Key Features

  • Draw systems: Support for a wide range of tournament systems, including Swiss (in various modifications), round robin, Olympic and others, allows the program to be used in competitions of any format.
  • Automation of results: The program automatically calculates the tournament standings after each round, taking into account all existing rules, which minimizes referee errors.
  • Integration with FMJD Rating System: DraughtsArbiter directly interacts with the FMJD rating server. It generates official reports that greatly simplify the submission of results for updating the international rating.
  • Security and transparency: The program protects against manipulation by marking any manual changes to the draw.
  • Real-time results publishing: One of the main advantages of DraughtsArbiter is the ability to instantly publish results to the FMJD server https://results.fmjd.org/viewpage.php?page_id=1, creating a dedicated tournament page. This allows players, coaches, and fans to follow the progress of the competition.
