File Names and Location

You will need to know where the result files are (until we can futher automate the process) in order to upload them. Typically this is c:\compassv6\SRXML.

The naming convention is shown in the following examples:

Duplicate Events

File names are like 27thu.xml, where 27thu is the name of the session inp file.

Swiss Events

File names are like 37mon_Session_ 2_Round_ 4.xml, where 37mon is the name of the session file and session 2 is the current session number and Round_4 is the current round number.

Accumulated Result of Duplicate Events

File names are like Monday Pairs - Overall Result.xml, Monday Pairs - Overall Handicap Result.xml, where Monday Pairs is the name of the competition and Overall Result.. indicates the results type.
