WELCOME TO TOP DRAW
The software used for the "most successful" World Veterans Table Tennis Championships,
held at the Exhibition Buildings, Melbourne.
Tournament Management Has Never Been Easier!
If you can turn on a computer you can use Top Draw
The Top Draw program is yours for the downloading. The product is not a Windows program, nor will it be upgraded. Nevertheless, it's still a very easy, efficient and accurate program to use.
Top Draw Tournament Management will speed and simplify the management of your sporting events. It allows you to create and maintain a permanent database of players entering your tournaments. From this database you will be able to produce event draws, match advice, score sheets, player and event lists, reports and customised mailing lists.
Primarily designed for tennis, Top Draw can be used for any sport that uses similar formats. Draws and seeding procedures accord with Tennis Australia or the International Tennis Federation. A special draw has been devised by Top Draw Tournament Management and is part of the program. This is the TOP draw format that allows extra matches for losing players and can be used as a grading event.
Player Details screens are designed to accommodate Tennis Australia National Tennis Player Ratings and Computer Code numbers. These fields can be utilised to meet local needs. The accurate format of draws is the essence of the Top Draw program. Facilities to edit the positions of unseeded players are included as options, but only within the constraints of the various draw formats.
The program includes many safeguards to prevent the incorrect entry of players into events. It checks on age and gender as entries are made, including partners. Time draw information appears on all draws, including Round Robins, and creates detailed score sheets and player advice.
Top Draw makes the tournament manager's life a lot easier.
The program is professionally written and is fast and accurate. Screens are pleasant to the eye and easy to read. Data is saved to hard disk as you exit each screen. All capacities are accessed directly from the Main Menu. Screen messages advise you if you have taken a wrong step. The manual is concise and depicts each screen as you move through the various steps.
Familiarise yourself with Top Draw by setting up small trial tournaments with small events. The manual, included with the software, provides special advice for this purpose. Add a time draw. Record results. Draw, undraw and redraw events. Print to printer or file and examine your work as you go. All data can be deleted or restored easily.
