VERSION 2.4.0 UPDATES

VERSION 2.3.6 UPDATES

Fixed an issue that would cause a bottom player to vanish from the pairings under certain circumstances.

Fixed an issue that would cause you to have to reconcile temp or invalid STP Numbers even if you weren’t trying to report the event in which they were used.

Fixed a problem that would cause a few random errors if you started an event and dropped all but one player from it immediately.

Removed the “Export” button from the Standings dialog box because people were too easily mistaking that feature for the “Output Results to File” feature.
