Splendid City Lite specifications

Added support for Swiss Style Tournaments rounds. Users can specify the number of rounds and may create a point allocation scheme using the updated standing preferences ensuring that all teams get a fair distribution of games. To learn the number of games required for a number of swiss rounds, users may use the Splendid City total games calculator which now comes with support for swiss round tournaments.

New project schedule merge panel allowing users to combine some or all project schedules into one complete schedule for incorporation into auto generated published representations of Splendid City projects.

New schedule game calculator to make it easier to calculate the number of total games needed for certain schedule criteria.

Schedule teams are now monitored for number of early and late game slots and are more evenly distrubuted through out the schedule.

Improved handling of object pools. Fixed a bug with regards to the auto import/export preference feature of pool objects.

New Splendid City Publisher panel that replaces the older export and ftp panels. Users may now choose to publish a project and all of it's schedules as a full blown web site in a few clicks.

• No prior knowledge of HTML or web design is necessary to produce a complex navigational web site with printable schedule views, current standings, game results, individual team, location, official schedules with appearance attributes like fonts, font sizes, table background and foreground colors can be custom-tailored in the easy to use Splendid City preference panels.
• Users may choose to create a homepage and customize that home page with an decorative banner, and special announcements column.
• Users may choose to publish the home page once or every session
• The new feature gives users the option to publish some or all schedules to a local folder on disk or to a remotely hosted web space via FTP. Say goodbye to special online sports sites that charge monthly fees. Using Splendid City Professional and the new Publisher's built in FTP client, users can do the same thing with their free ISP allotted web spaces.
• Added new 'Publish' sub menu to the File --> Project.

As the response to many requests, Splendid City now supports prioritized field constraint resolution. Based on user defined location constraints, users may specify an option in the preferences to find a replacement location, in the event that a location's constraints could not be satisfied. The substitution choice can be modified by defining a priority attribute in the location creation/edit panels. This is done in such a way as to always allow for an even distribution of fields through out the schedule.

Users may now copy dates in one click from one schedule to another if they share the same number of games, dates, and games per date information. ( Common when interdivisional play is required ).

Pool objects are now lexicographically sorted and can be searched by typing the requested entry into the list.

Expanded schedule result point allocation choices as well as tie breaker algorithms.

Improved handling of uneven teams that play partial confrontation cycle schedules. Now all games are distributed evenly across the teams.

Improved double header handling of uneven teams that play partial confrontation cycle schedules.

Double clickable project files. Now users can launch project files from their filesystem by simply double clicking on the splendid City project files.

Fixed a bug where location directions would not persist when projects were reopened.

Fixed bug that would not enforce unique schedule names within a project.

Fixed a bug that would not update objects constraints across a project when used in another project schedule.

Fixed an inactive help button in the email client.

Updated the Intermediate tutorial section of the online and offline help documentation.
