The Automatic Prizes file is great, it saves you time by adjusting the prizes as the number of players go up Is there any way of making a new xml file.
Hoe do i make a new config File. I can see that you can alter it, Is that making a new config file?
What i would like to do is to make a new file as the i would like to alter it.
* I would like to adjust the percentages awarded.
* Increase the numbers of players / payouts in each section etc
* Delete some sections, as i dont think i will ever get more than 100 players. Dont think i could do with the hassle
Thought i would be able to alter it and save it as a an xml. file. I am using microsoft word 2008, and thought i could save it as an xml.fle as its very versatile o what it can save files as, but this was a no go. Then I saved it as an HTML file, and tried to cut and paste from this to the autoprizes file and that didn't work.
What program do you need to replace or alter the autopriizes file, if this is possible
Cheers.

I know you've already figured this out, but for anyone else reading this, you have to modify your Automatic Prizes file, which is the file "autoPrizes.xml" in the "lib" folder of where your TD is installed (usually C:\Program Files\The Tournament Director 2). The "problem" right now is that the user manual has not been updated yet for 2.6, so there's no instructions on how to do this. I did, however, change the autoPrizes.xml file so that it has the new section that you can modify to use a formula for determining prize levels. (I assume that's how you figured this out.)
Please let us know how it works out for you. And post any questions or issues you have...
