Event Reporting for a MultFormat Tournament

Good Evening Fellow Judges!

I hope you can help with this!

In a few weeks my local store will be running a multiformat Competitive tournament with the prize being an airline ticket to a European GP.

With WER not really being an option for a multiformat tournament that includes a Draft, what is the best reporting tool to use?

Thank you in advance!

What you can actually do is use WER and create 2 separate tournament. One for your (I assume) swiss portion, and you go by the number of rounds the tournament would usualy have for the swiss portion (Look in the MTR if unsure) and create a separate event for the draft portion where the store registers only the people that makes it through their cut. This is what we did at a place for his launch event, and it worked out great. Just make sure you set them up in WER ahead of time (depending on the store level) and you will be good.

WER does support multi format, but you have to create the event as a draft. You can then run some rounds as swiss and some as draft.
