Tournament Registration

[rriazi]

Hi,

I need to restart my server to install windows updates. I have some players registered into the weekly tournament. Is there anyway that I can restart the server before losing the registered players? I did this once before, and I lost them all.

Best Regards,
Reza

Use the Registration Saver program:

Run this from another PC (that isn't affected by the reboot) to grab the current registrations. Then reboot the server and restore the registrations.

Hi,

What If my server suddenly crashes and I need to hardware reset it? This happened to me now, And I couldn't predict it to backup current registrations.

The players would get their buy-ins refunded automatically on the restart. A record of this will be written to the Event Log. You could manually re-register them or send out email notices letting them know.
