Tournament Overlord
Tournament Overlord is Ranking HQ's custom built tournament administration software. It is a Windows based application designed in consultation with tournament administrators and players over several years. Tournament Overlord provides many tools, functions and features that remove the mundane and time consuming elements out of running an event.
A fully functional version can be downloaded and used for up to 12 players. For tournaments greater than 12 players tournament specific licenses can be purchased and downloaded instantly.
We had our first interclub challenge for Perth, Western Australia in some time and we used Tournament Overlord. This was one of the easiest ways to score. All results were available each round and at the end we had both our individual winners and the team winners without all the extra work normally associated with running team events.
We had the results less then one minute after the last score was entered, and a definite winning feature was the ability to ensure that no two players from the same team played each other. On top of that we were able to ensure each player played different armies, and it was so easy.
This really made the day a whole lot smoother. As a club we have voted to use “TO’ as the only official scoring system for all club tournaments and in house scoring.

Hi, Chris Townsend here, you might know me from such places as Pup-con '10 or '09. I am here today to talk to you about Tournament Overlord, the new program out there for all tournament organisers. I will definately be running this at pup-con in years to come. It made very light work. A must have for any tourny over the 20-30 player mark.
