The order should already be set, as team positions where allocated when teams where entered into the draw surely ? Obviously there will be team members drop out and others step in, but thats going to happen anyway!
i think anything that makes finding out your next opponent between rounds easier has got to be a good thing, at the NAF championship earlier this month there where approx 200 (ish) coaches fighting to read the fixture list before ever round...double that and add a second venue and its going to take time to sort it all out...
just my thoughts..... |

| AFAIK they are planning on using Score! for the WCII, so I don't know what its capabilities are for ordering coaches within teams. |

| The best answer IMO is run a local wireless access point and get the tournament software to display the draw on a webpage. Enough coaches will have a smart phone so can access the web page and don't need to see any paper. |

We're going to organise Swiss within Swiss.
In a nutshell:
Mooooooooooooost likely we'll get the teamcaptains to pick up the match sheets with 6 matches on it. They then go to the designated tables and can tell who's sitting on which table.
After all 6 matches are finished, the teamcaptain(s) will sign for the results and hand them in.

Not sure whether it's been tested, or whether Joris has updated it, but according to the Score help file, it can only(!) cope with 250 coaches (found that out when there was a mild panic about a week before the NAFC!). |

| personally I don't like playing on rollup/soft pitches unless they are secured very well which usually at tournaments that is kinda tricky |

I'm not sure why you'd think it would take anymore time?
If the software* is capable of drawing the teams per round via swiss, it can just as easily do the individual players at the same time.
*At least it should be able to.
Can (or could in WC1) you play a coach in rounds 1-3 (the individual rounds), then play them again in one of the team rounds?
Dream Teams Cup in here in Spain is doing so. So I also guess it is possible. As said, it was in WC1
More than 100 players and two (three) organizers can deal with that with no increase in time between rounds...
Moreover, probably the venue already have a projection board to set up the results. If you join this with all the stuff proposed. I think you have it. |

That's a good question but as has been commented on, when the table is too short it is a problem. The organisers will need to confirm that. I am pretty sure they have allowed the board size when looking at size for the tables. |

Are you kidding? You guys have played in tournaments where even a 29mm board might not fit squarely on the table? That's crazy, I've never played Blood Bowl on a tv tray before. |

Do you play with the pitch horizontal or vertical? |
