tsh is a Perl application that manages the logistics of running a Scrabble tournament. It has been used to help run the World Championship, the U.S., Canadian and U.K. National Championships, the Players' Championship, the Dallas Open, the Boston Area Tournament, and is used at several tournaments most months somewhere in the world.
tsh is platform-independent. It is developed using OS/X on a MacBook, but tested regularly with Windows, and it has users from the Mac, Windows and Linux communities.
The current version of tsh is numbered 3.300 and the tsh distribution ZIP archive is available as a free (1Mb) download. The version number is incremented a few times a year, when significant changes have been made and reasonably well tested. The next version will be 3.310, portions of which are available in a testing ZIP archive or through the built-in update command. Unsupported older versions can be found in an archive directory. If you'd like to find out more, the tsh manual is available at this web site, and it is also included in the distribution. If you are not an expert user, you will in particular need to read the installation instructions before you get started. You may also join the tsh-users mailing list to stay informed about what’s new with tsh, request new features and discuss tsh with fellow users.
If you want to use the program, I will do what I can to support you. If you give me enough lead time, I'll help you set it up on your computer, and set up the configuration files. If you want to set it up yourself, please read carefully the manual section on configuring tsh. If I do not have other commitments, I’ll make sure I’m reachable by phone during your event.
