Please allow me to introduce Tornelo.com - it is an automated Chess Rating System, tournament management software and results publishing website.
Tornelo has been designed for use by National Chess Federations. They have envisaged the use of Tornelo to easily replace your existing junior rating system or establish a new National Junior (or Scholastic) Rating System.
The benefits for the Federation are:
- Revenue stream through ratings of the many junior and scholastic events
- Free pairing program for all organisers and schools (enabling easier submission for ratings, and more revenue for you!)
- Instant rating updates (players can see a rating after just one tournament and see changes during the event)
- Ratings based on either ELO or Glicko formula
- Minimal time required to run the system
- Control and access the entire system from any internet connection
Benefits for the players:
- Live tournament results, pairings and games
- Online archive of all tournaments (including PGN files of games) and history
- Player profiles and social interaction
- Greater player engagement in chess leading to more players playing more chess!
Benefits for the tournament organizers:
- Spending less time organizing each event means more events can be run!
- Fully automated tournament entry, pairings and results
- Free pairings software 'on the cloud'
- FIDE rating output files generated if required
Other uses for Tornelo:
- A searchable and structured archive for all tournament results and associated PGNs (game scores) for the entire history of the Federation
- A rating system for senior events or rapid events
- We are open to hear ideas for any other use as you imagine!
