Hi,

Is there a way to import Team tournaments into WinTD? Is there a different formatting for this type of tournament?

This is an already completed tournament? What format is the information in right now?

It is completed now. Your information will be useful for which platform we use next year. We typically use Excel spreadsheet files, for when we use to normally input into WinTD. Is there a preferred format for team tournaments?

You can't currently import the board by board information from a team tournament because it's two layers of information. Could you send us a copy of what you currently have?

Here is the file. We had a file with contact information, along with a file with just player information, by boards. I can send the Excel files separately. The discussion board will not allow submission of *.XLS files. Of course, we could format these excel files whichever way we need. Let us know if there is a way to format and we could do it.

Questions:

1) Would it be best to import players into the master file and populate the tournament file that way?

2) Would it be possible to populate the tournament file template in two steps, importing the teams, and then the players?
