| Sheet | When | What is on it | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Export PDF report | after the tournament | places, points, both tiebreaks and the pairings of all rounds with results | the prize-giving, the wall in the hall, a report |
| List of players as PDF | at any time, from the player list | numbers and names, the points and tiebreak boxes left blank | a paper copy in case the connection drops |
The Export PDF report button appears for the organiser on the card of a finished tournament, next to Export TRF report. The sheet arrives as a document in the chat with the Vibe Chess bot - from there it is easy to print or forward. The list of players as a PDF is the PDF icon in the Players heading on the tournament's player list screen.
| Where | How |
|---|---|
| Prize-giving | the sheet with places - in the host's hands |
| The wall in the hall | those who do not look at their phones will find themselves on the sheet |
| A report to a sports authority or sponsor | an appendix to the report - the final standings |
| The club archive | a PDF does not get lost and is easy to find in the chat |
| No connection | a blank list of players - results by hand |
For rated tournaments there is a TRF report next to it: the arbiter's report after a tournament. For a sponsor's report - a report for sponsors and grant makers.

At the board since childhood: hazy about his rating, precise about every rook he has blundered. Counts an evening as a good one if the opponent stayed to talk afterwards instead of rushing off to check with an engine. Message →
