How to use this library

Parse TRF files to objects

var trfFile = "C://TrfFile.txt";
var content = File.ReadAllText(trfFile);
var tournament = Sandberg.Chess.TRF.TRFParser.Parse(content)

Create TRF file from Tournament object

var content = tournament.ToTrf();

Pairing a tournament

Sandberg.Chess.TRF is using bbpPairings for pairing tournaments.

https://github.com/BieremaBoyzProgramming/bbpPairings

Create settings (TempPath is optional. Will use System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName() if not present

var settings = new Sandberg.Chess.TRF.BbpPairingsSettings
{
    BbpPairingsExePath = "C:\\bbpPairings\\bbpPairings-v5.0.1\\bbpPairings.exe",
    TempPath = "C:\\Temp",
    PairingType = Sandberg.Chess.TRF.PairingType.Dutch // Burstein or Dutch
};

Create a tournament or parse a TRF file.

var content = File.ReadAllText(trfFile);
var tournament = Sandberg.Chess.TRF.TRFParser.Parse(content)

Create an instance of Sandberg.Chess.TRF.Pairing (Pairing can take a few seconds..)

var pairing = new Sandberg.Chess.TRF.Pairing(settings);

pairing.OnPairingComplete += (sender, pairing) =>
{
    // Your pairing is ready
    // The pairing object contains alle matches for next round
};

pairing.OnPairingError += (sender, args) =>
{
    // Something wrong happened.. 
    // Most likely your TRF file is corrupt.
};

await pairing.CreatePairings(tournament, 20);

I will work on better error handling in the next version.
