What's New in Chess Caddy Tournament Manager
1.0.5
September 19, 2026
The App Store now lists all 25 languages Chess Caddy speaks, and the app has grown since the last update: • Paste a whole roster — names and ratings from a spreadsheet or group chat become players in one go. • Late entries — add a player after round 1 and they join the next round. • Requested half-point byes — a player who has to miss a round can keep half a point. • More tiebreaks — Buchholz Cut 1, Median, and head-to-head join Buchholz, Sonneborn-Berger, and Cumulative. • A round timer for the wall, and a QR code that opens the published standings on any phone. For clubs: every new club page now starts with 60 days free, no card needed, and includes certificates, a saved roster, and a TV display. Running tournaments stays free. No account needed.
