CSV Pairings Import - Use TopDeck.gg as a Backup Software

Tournament software crashes happen. When they do, every second counts. Today we're unveiling CSV Pairings Import, a feature designed to make TopDeck.gg the perfect backup for your events.

Many organizers are stuck using unreliable tournament software but want a safety net. Manual re-pairing during a software failure wastes time, creates errors, and frustrates players. You need a way to switch platforms instantly without disrupting your event.

Import round pairings from any CSV file directly into TopDeck.gg. What used to take 15-20 minutes of manual work now takes seconds.

How It Works

  1. Navigate to the Round Manager in your TopDeck.gg event
  2. Click "Import from CSV"
  3. Upload your pairings file (format: table, player 1, player 2, ...)
  4. Our system automatically matches players to their assigned tables
  5. Hit save and continue and you're ready to go

Run TopDeck.gg as a Backup

Keep your TopDeck.gg event synced by importing pairings each round via CSV. If your primary platform crashes, switch to TopDeck.gg instantly. What used to take 15-20 minutes of manual work now takes seconds.

Perfect for High-Stakes Events

This feature is invaluable for competitive tournaments where downtime isn't an option:

  • Qualifers and Regionals: Keep high-level events running smoothly
  • Convention tournaments: Avoid embarrassing technical failures
  • Large locals: Ensure quick round turnovers even with software issues
  • Any critical event: Have peace of mind with a reliable backup plan

No more panicking when your tournament software crashes mid-event. No more manually re-entering dozens of pairings. Just seamless failover in seconds.
