Public pages, printing and TRF export

Last updated: 20 October 2026

What visitors see of your group and its tournaments, how visibility works, printing rounds and standings, and exporting a tournament as a TRF-2026 file.

Public pages

  • Clubs lists the public groups.
  • A public group has its own page (/g/ followed by its short name) with its tournaments, newest first, and its players with their current ratings.
  • Each tournament has a page (/t/ followed by its number): format, dates, the standings with tie-breaks, the round pages and the crosstable; a finalized group tournament also its rating changes.
  • Each group player has a page (/p/ followed by the nickname) with their tournaments and rating history.

Once a page exists, the manage pages link to it with Public page in their header.

Visibility

  • A group is public or private: Public group in its Settings. The pages of a private group are seen only by its members.
  • A tournament appears once it has a published round, or is finalized. Drafts, paired rounds that are not published yet and tournaments without a published round never appear.
  • An ad-hoc tournament appears only if you made it public. See Visibility of an ad-hoc tournament.
  • Never shown: the members, email addresses, invitations, pairing warnings and the record of changes.

What visitors see

  • Players appear by nickname, unless the owner shows full names with the players' consent. See Full names and consent.
  • Swiss pages say that the pairings follow the FIDE Dutch system (C.04.3), team Swiss pages the FIDE Swiss Team Pairing System (C.04.6), round robins the Berger tables.
  • Player pages are kept out of search engines; group and tournament pages may be found there.

Printing

The round, standings, crosstable, rating changes, teams and lineups pages have a Print button. The printout leaves out the buttons, tabs and forms. The public tournament pages print the same way.

TRF export

TRF-2026 is the FIDE exchange format that other chess programs read, such as pairing and tie-break checkers and tournament managers.

  1. Press Download TRF on the Schedule (or Rounds) tab or on the Standings tab.
  2. A draft holds its players only; a running or finished tournament holds its published rounds (a round robin up to its first unpublished round). A comment line at the top names anything a checker may read differently, such as late corrections or edited rounds.

The file carries the players' names as you see them, full names included: share it with care. The owner, the admins and the creator of an ad-hoc tournament can download it; arbiters cannot. The file is UTF-8.
