TIO Integration Almost Done

So I've finished the bulk of the code for TIO Generation. You can now import TIO results in to Manny Tracker, and you can no export the player list into a empty TIO file ready to generate brackets. One cool trick is that I generate the TIO player list using the TIO skill levels so that it should generate a balanced bracket. Here are some screenshots:

 


As you can see, TIO generates brackets based off a players assigned Skill Level (1-10, 10 being highest) derived from each players current TrueSkill rating and their current ranking compared to all other players.

TIO Intergration

The local fighting game community here in Washington State uses TIO for almost all of our tournaments. What is TIO you ask? Well it's one of the best tournament/bracket programs you can find on the web, and best of all it's free!
So, after poking around in the save files from some of our past tournaments, I found that the information is stored in an XML format. Which is very awesome, because now I can add TIO intergration into Manny Tracker.
This should allow some very cool features such as the ability to automatically seed the brackets based on current ranks and also the ability to automatically record tournament results.

If you havent seen TIO yet, check it out!
