<h1>The Crosstable window</h1>
<p>
The crosstable window shows the tournament crosstable for the
current game. Each time you refresh the crosstable window (by
pressing its Refresh button, by pressing the <b>Return</b> key in the
crosstable window, or by typing <b>Control+Shift+X</b> in the
<a href="MainWindow.html">main</a> or <a href="GameList.html">game list</a> windows), Scid
searches for all games in the same tournament as the current game.
</p>
<p>
Any game played up to <b>three months before or after</b> the current game,
with the <b>exact same Event and Site tags</b>, is considered to be in
the tournament.
</p>
<p>
A single left-mouse button click on any result in the crosstable
loads the corresponding game.
You can add all the games in the tournament to the
<a href="Searches.html\#Filter">filter</a>
with the <b>Add to filter</b> button in the crosstable window.
</p>

<h4>Crosstable window menus</h4>
<p>
The <b><font color="#007000">[File]</font></b> menu lets you print the current table to a file
in plain text, LaTeX or HTML table format.
</p>
<p>
The <b><font color="#007000">[Display]</font></b> menu allows you to choose the table format:
<b>All-play-all</b>, <b>Swiss</b> or <b>Knockout</b> or <b>Auto</b>.
</p>
<p>
The all-play-all format (for round-robin-type events) has a limit of 30
players, but the Swiss format (for tournaments with many players) can
display up to 200 players and up to 20 rounds. <b>Auto</b>, which chooses
the best format automatically for each tournament, is the default.
</p>
<p>
Note that Scid uses the <b>Round</b> tag of each game to produce a Swiss
crosstable, so you will not see any games in the Swiss table for a tournament
if its games do not have numeric round values: 1, 2, 3, etc.
</p>
<p>
The Display menu also lets you customize the data presented to
include or exclude ratings, countries and player titles. You can also
choose whether color allocations in Swiss tables are displayed.
</p>
<p>
The <b>Separate score groups</b> option only affects the layout of the table
when the players are sorted by score: it causes a blank line to be inserted
between each group of players with the same score.
</p>
<p>
The <b><font color="#007000">[Sort]</font></b> menu allows you to sort the players by name, rating
or score; by score is the default.
</p>
<p>
The <b><font color="#007000">[Color]</font></b> menu lets you turn color (hypertext) display on or off.
Since it can take a long time to format and display large crosstables in
hypertext, selecting <b>Plain text</b> for large events will save a
lot of time.
However, in plain text mode you cannot click on players or games.
</p>

<h4>Duplicate games in crosstables</h4>
<p>
To get good results with the crosstable, you should mark duplicate games
for deletion and your games should have consistent spelling of player,
site and event names.
See the <a href="Maintenance.html">database maintenance</a> page for help on
deleting duplicate games and editing (or spellchecking)
player/event/site names.
