How to upload a tournament to Chess-Results.
To publish a tournament on chess-results.com, open the event in Chessido Pairings and choose to publish. Rehearse first if you like, then go live — and the page keeps up with every result you enter.
What Chess-Results is, and why it matters
Chess-Results (chess-results.com) is the world's largest archive of chess tournament results, with more than a million tournaments listed. It's where players search their own names, where parents check the next round's pairing from the car park, and where coaches and associations look up how a player has been doing.
A tournament that's on Chess-Results is easy to find, easy to share and stays on record. For a young player, seeing their name next to a real ranking on the same site as national championships is a small thrill — and for an organiser, it ends the stream of “what's my next board?” questions.

You don't need your own Chess-Results login — every tournament you publish stays grouped under you.
Rehearse first with a test page
If it's your first time, start with a rehearsal. It's clearly marked as a test, so you can see exactly how your page will look without creating a real record.
When you're ready, publish the real tournament and it's listed where players and parents will look for it.
Live sync: the page keeps up with you
Once you're live, every result you enter and every round you pair flows through to Chess-Results on its own — and you can always see at a glance that the page is current.
Need it updated this second, just before you announce pairings? You can. And if the venue Wi-Fi drops, the page simply catches up when you're back online.

Tips for a smooth tournament day
- Enter results promptly. Live sync is only as fresh as your data — entering each board as it finishes keeps parents off your shoulder.
- Print the QR code. Put it on the notice board and at the entrance so parents can follow every round.
- Check the page yourself. Scan the QR code on your own phone after round one to confirm everything looks right.
- Fill in the details. A complete page looks professional and is easier to find.
- Right event, right tool. Chessido Pairings is for club, school, academy and district events; FIDE-rated tournaments need FIDE-endorsed software.
Chessido Pairings also handles pairings, sections, tie-breaks, print-ready sheets and certificates. See chess tournament pairing software for the full picture.
