[Organizers] The difference between “Scores” and “Win-Draw-Loss”

When entering the results for a match, you can set a score, and have to declare a Winner and a Loser (or a Draw between the participants if the structure allows it).
Even though entering the score is important and mighty useful, only the “Win-Draw-Loss” selection will really validate a match result.

[Organizers] The Pairing Table

Let’s focus today on an advanced feature of our League , RR Groups and Swiss structures: the Pairing Table, that allows you to fine tune your match days, deciding who plays aginast who, when, and how many times.
