Because my forum was used rather seldom, I have stopped it and have replaced it with this FAQ page.

Chess-Results.com FAQ

12 How to generate links to other tournaments?

13 How can the ranking lists of all rounds be enabled in Swiss tournaments?

The ranking lists of all rounds are offered automatically, if every round after entering the results the tournament is uploaded to chess-results.com. If e.g. first, the start ranking list and then the results of the 2nd round is uploaded, only the current ranking list is offered.

Important: During the tournament upload only the latest ranking-list will be updated / saved. So that the ranking-lists of all rounds are available, the tournament must be uploaded every round after making the new pairings.
