29 | new | low | high | 2007-07-04 | open | John Chew | Commands should have alternate syntaxes. For example, the input for Addscore should be parsed as [[keyword(missing)],[keyword(division), division],[player score],[player score player score]]. |

40 | new | medium | high | 2007-08-16 | open | John Chew | TSH::Config::Export() should be removed once it is no longer necessary. |
41 | new | low | medium | 2007-08-16 | open | John Chew | ‘tshxcfg.txt’ should be read in and eval’ed, so that its code can have access to a lexical copy of $tournament. |
44 | new | high | high | 2007-08-19 | open | NSA Tech Committee | Connect to NSA ratings database so that player names do not have to be misentered manually, and so that current ratings can optionally be imported (though not for a ME after EB). Also connect to the player database to access/maintain contact information |
45 | new | high | low | 2007-08-19 | open | NSA Tech Committee | A command to move players between divisions before the tournament begins. |
46 | new | high | high | 2007-08-27 | open | John Chew | A command that automatically assigns players to divisions according to rules set out in the configuration file. |

51 | new | high | medium | 2007-08-19 | open | NSA Tech Committee | The “EditScore ” command should let the user set cumeadj. |

54 | new | high | high | 2007-08-19 | open | NSA Tech Committee | Optionally allow portrait/landscape orientation choice in tsh (without using Page Setup), by rendering as a PDF. This would also help give finer layout control, enable direct printing from tsh in OS/X, and would generally be a good thing. |
55 | new | high | medium | 2007-08-19 | open | NSA Tech Committee | Explain to specifications authors why it is impossible to prevent some fields in printouts from wrapping under some conditions. |
56 | new | high | high | 2007-08-19 | open | NSA Tech Committee | User interface should be intuitive to more people. |

58 | new | medium | low | 2007-08-28 | open | Stewart Holden | MISSING can be abbreviated to M only when invoked from within Addscore. |
59 | new | medium | low | 2007-08-28 | open | Stewart Holden | MISSING should not require its round number unless “config allow_gaps = 1 ” is in effect. |
60 | new | medium | high | 2007-08-28 | open | Stewart Holden | It would be nice to be able to specify the order of rounds in a round robin, so that, e.g., players who needed byes in specific rounds could be accommodated. |
61 | new | medium | medium | 2007-08-28 | open | Stewart Holden | The order of rounds in a round robin ought to depend on the division name, so as to reduce the likelihood of data entry confusion. |
66 | new | medium | medium | 2007-09-17 | open | Stewart Holden | The stats command incorrectly reports a large number of start/reply errors when round robin pairings are used. This problem may be resolved as part of a planned rewrite of the round robin code, or may need to be specifically addressed. |
67 | new | high | high | 2007-09-17 | open | John Chew | The following situation might be an example calling for a change to the current Chew pairing algorithm. With a flight cap of 4, there are four contenders with more or less the same record. All pairs have played each other except 1-3 and 1-4. As things stand, because the four require one repeat to be paired, this is accepted as the repeat tolerance, the players are split after second place and paired 1-2, 3-4. Although it would be computationally prohibitive for large flights, it might be worth trying to minimize the total number of repeats for small flights like this to achieve 1-4, 2-3 pairings. Also, when the top two places are Gibson-equivalent, it is imperative that 1-2 not play each other if 3 or 4 are in contention. |
69 | new | low | high | 2007-09-29 | open | John Chew | In order to use tsh to look after Scrabble clubs, the following features are required and likely more: the chronological concatenation of sessions (each with its own ‘.t’ file) into seasons, where the output ratings from one session become the input ratings of the next and only one session is active at a time; overall season statistics including performance rating calculations; and something like Washington Go first-available pairings. |
75 | new | medium | low | 2007-09-12 | open | Stewart Holden | An extra page break appears after the value of config html_top ” in the output of “ShowDivisionScoreCards ”. |
76 | new | medium | high | 2007-10-07 | open | John Chew | More basic statistical research is required to determine the distribution of scores as a function of player ratings, start/reply and playing environment. |
77 | new | medium | high | 2007-10-07 | open | John Chew | The research of issue 76 needs to be applied to more accurately model possible future outcomes in Chew pairings. |
78 | new | medium | medium | 2007-09-12 | open | John Chew | The research of issue 76 needs to be applied to more accurately determine Gibsonization thresholds. |
82 | new | medium | low | 2007-12-03 | open | Jim Hughes | “config repeats{DIV} ” should specify when repeats will be permitted. |
83 | new | medium | low | 2007-12-03 | open | Jim Hughes | The manual needs an index. |
84 | new | high | medium | 2007-12-05 | open | Jim Hughes | HTTP routines should use LWP where available. |

88 | new | medium | medium | 2008-05-15 | open | John Chew | It should not be too difficult to prepare a standalone Windows executable version of tsh, which would be helfpul for newbies but perhaps take up too much disk space for everyone else. |
89 | new | high | low | 2008-05-15 | open | Mauro Pratesi | Corrupt configuration file diagnostics may not be visible under Windows. |
93 | new | medium | low | 2008-07-27 | open | John Chew | Table reservation data belongs in “.t” files so that it can be edited using “EditScore ” |
94 | new | medium | low | 2008-08-24 | open | John Chew | Trying to enter a bye score as something-0 should cause tsh to prompt you offering to rewrite the game as a forfeit. |
95 | new | medium | medium | 2008-11-07 | open | Sherrie Saint John | It would be nice to be able to print result slips with player names. |
96 | new | medium | medium | 2009-04-19 | open | Tim Fukawa-Connelly | You shouldn't have to enter bye scores by hand. |
97 | new | high | medium | 2009-06-17 | open | Andy Saunders | best possible finishes are overestimated when flight sizes are small. |
98 | new | low | medium | 2009-07-20 | open | John Chew | SUBMIT.pm needs to be rewritten along the lines of WebUpdate.pm to use Win32 code for compatibility with older XP systems. |
99 | new | low | medium | 2010-06-19 | open | Pakorn Nemitrmansuk | Player photos should show different facial expressions depending on recent W-L history or overall standing. |
