Fixed Seating in WER

Hi everyone,

I've seen a lot of judges saying that WER doesn't do fixed seating, and while they are correct that it doesn't do it easily, it is possible if you're willing to do a little bit of extra clicking.

I've uploaded a video to youtube to show you how to do it, which you can find here: http://youtu.be/Z-1JlBHtvtc

One thing that you'll need to know though, sometimes when you're editing matches in a larger tournaments WER will give the appearance that it just unpaired your entire tournament. Don't panic, it's just tricking you. If you click on one of the other tabs at the top (like Standings or Penalities), and then click back, your tournament will have the proper pairings again.

Hopefully someone will find this helpful!

To add to that, the bug that he mentions happens when you try to unmatch a pairing while there is anything in the search box on the left hand side. If there is nothing in that search box, it will not occur. If you do not clear that box before changing tabs, it may not correct your problem.
