Um, to be clear, tio is working as intended. You must double click on the
ROW of the winner whose results you are reporting; tio then asks you how many times that person lost in the set, because it can figure out for itself how many times the person won. You cannot double click on the row of the loser because there is not enough information to determine a total score. Example:
Player A: "I lost to player B in pool."
Me: "Ok... double click on where Player A meets Player B... how many times did Player A lose? Twice!"
Tio: (internally) well, the set is best 2 of 3, and Player A won [BECAUSE YOU CLICKED ON HIS ROW], so he must mean that the player lost once. Ok, Player A wins 2-1.
Me: "WTF NO PLAYER A LOST 1-2".
Why does this happen?
Because telling tio that someone lost in a pool does not provide enough information to record the result; the program would know that Player B won two games, but it does not know how many games Player A won. I could fix this by having a SECOND prompt that would 100% confuse half of all users, or I could make the organizer work more and manually specify the exact score in terms of Player A.
... Or tournament organizers could take responsibility for learning the software they use. The manual and integrated tutorials are all very specific about this issue, and clearly state the requirement that you double click on the row of the winner in multiple locations.
I hope this doesn't sound mean, and I'm certainly not trying to stoke the fire or say anyone did a bad job... I just don't like to be blamed for something that isn't my fault

OH, and today is my birthday, so no one can take offense to anything I just said. It's the law.
