TioEX is a program I originally had to create for a final project in my GUI class at school. I've been using Tio for quite a while now, and I feel that some of the process in making a tournament can be simplified and done faster. So I present to you, TioEX.

I probably wouldn't rely on using TioEX for big tournaments yet as it's still in beta form. Use it now for testing and wait for a final release.

So at the moment, all tabs are functional except for the Matches and Output tabs. Most error handling is present, except some is not. There is no error checking for putting an invalid date in the date box for the tournament (use the format MM/DD/YYY), and technically you can enter players into doubles and teams into singles which you probably shouldn't do lol. Also I forget to make the venue fee doubled for teams (since there's two players), but that will be fixed in the next release.

The open function doesn't work on the tournament tab. A file chooser comes up but doesn't really do anything and will be finished when the Matches and Output tabs are done since that is really needed for those tabs and nothing else.

It's still a little bare bones, but what's there now can get your events set up really fast, with pre-populated drop down lists for location, manual seeding set up at the time of entrant creation, and entering players into events at entrant creation with keeping track of the cost to charge the player. TioEX also keeps track of all of the venue fees you have collected so far (and supports giving people free venue fee) so you can keep track of your money.

Looks pretty good so far.

Maybe you should post some more information about differences/advantages to the normal version of tio.

Do you have an idea how long you will take to finish it?

Will it also have Swiss Brackets?

yea my write up was a lil brief, i was bored and did it during class after i presented it and before the other people went lol

not sure how long it will take to finish, theres going to be a more updated version by sunday for sure.

it wont have any new brackets atm as it merely just creates tio files for tio to use, so if tio doesnt support swiss, then this wont either. well, it could... i actually thought about including swiss and triple elim brackets somehow, which il definitely look into to see if its possible.

did it run for you guys? i had someone else download it and say it errored when he tried to run it, but i have a feeling it was a problem with his java, since it runs fine for me.

It works for me. Maybe he doesn't have the latest Java.

If you finish it by beginning of 2010, I'll maybe switch to that instead of Tio. It looks pretty good so far.

are u planning to fix certain algorithms when doing seeding from randomness and such? not to mention the current glitch where a player is placed in the bracket twice

also, try to bring back the click to open new window to display another bracket so it's suitable for dual screen setups (a removed feature)

this program is not meant to replace tio, nor will it ever have the ability to create bracket. its a tool for creating .tio files and entering players much faster than the current tio is able to do, with some special things u can do after the tourney is over dealing with results

oni - itl be done by 2010 lol. next version will be out early next week

I'm liking what your extension offers, it makes things a lot easier for the most part. I'm interested to seeing your complete program.
