Arbitools is a collection of programs that allow chess arbiters to manage a chess tournament. This is something that traditionally was possible only with non-free software. Arbitools tries to set the GNU way to do it.

It is written in Python 3. It should work in other platforms apart from GNU/Linux.

FEATURES: Up to here, the following tasks are possible:

• Updating the players data in the database file. You can add missing data like the ELOs, FIDE and nat ID, etc. Supported formats for the database are: .csv, .txt (fide official), .veg
• Adding a list of extra players to an existing database file.
• Produce output for standings: a .txt file and a .tex file, ready for pdflatex

TODO:

• Detect duplicated players in the elo list and warn the user about it.
• Appliying tiebreaks.

DEPENDENCIES

• python3
• lxml -> only if you need xml files from FIDE.
• xlrd -> only if you need xls files from FEDA.
