An offline application written using Python 3 that allows the management of a Swiss' rules based chess tournament.

The code is written on a Model View Controller (MVC) system to allow a clear and easily maintainable code. It is written using the PEP8 directives.

The application allows to :

• create new tournaments with informations such as location, name, date, description
• create players' profiles with informations such as name, gender, age, rank
• serialize and stock these informations in Json files
• deserialize them into the application from those files
• generate reports about previously played tournaments, player's database, rounds and matches played in a previous tournament

The user can then create a new tournament, add 8 players to it and manage a full tournament following the swiss' rules.

The application generates automatically the match making by itself.

The user enters the winners at the end of each round (4 matches each). The application will then give the results of the tournament at the end of the 4th round, with updated ranks for every player.
