Swiss-Manager

Swiss-Manager is the world's most widely used chess tournament management software. Developed in Austria and FIDE-approved, it has been used in over 320,000 chess tournaments across the globe. Whether you're running a weekend club event or a major international open, Swiss-Manager handles the entire workflow: from player registration and rating list imports to automatic pairings and final crosstable exports.

The software supports all major tournament formats including Swiss-system (up to 1,200 players, 46 rounds), round robins (up to 150 rounds), team Swiss-system, and team round robins. Pairings are generated in seconds, following FIDE Dutch system rules, and results can be exported directly to the FIDE rating system.

Swiss-Manager is available in 10 languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Turkish, and Polish, making it the go-to choice for arbiters and organizers in dozens of countries. It integrates with FIDE and national rating lists for automatic player import, and supports simultaneous tournaments running side by side.

The software runs on Windows and has a long track record of reliability at top-level events. For any organizer running FIDE-rated events, Swiss-Manager is essentially the industry standard.
