PAIRING CARD

Saya mendapat email pertanyaan daripada Pn. Nooaziah daripada Sabah untuk mendapatkan contoh kad Pairing.

Pairing kad ini adalah sistem manual swiss-paring yang asas di gunakan sebelum pengunaan komputer untuk Pasukan dan Individu.  Sekarang penggunaan program swiss-46 (individu), swiss manager ( Pasukan & Individu) meluas digunakan untuk mengendalikan kejohanan.

Saya mula mempelajari pada awal 90-an di Kejohanan Catur Merdeka berpasukan  dan Individu BPM (PCMM Event) di PWTC.  Guru terawal saya adalah IA Ibrahim Yaakob. Selanjutnya pemahaman daripada IA Hamid majid & IA Latif Mohamaed.

Cara pengunaan manual
- Digunakan kadang kala sebagai back-up jika berlaku black out (terputus bekalan elektrik)
- Sesuai digunakan jika bilangan kurang daripada 36 pemain.

Cara-cara pengunaan
Semua pemain  menpunyai No Ranking mengikut susunan kekuatan rating.

Contoh jika ada 16 pemain bermain 4 pusingan.
Pusingan 1
No 1  bertemu No 9 ( Putih vs Hitam)
No 2 bertemu No 10 (Hitam vs Putih)
(Dan seterusnya).

Pusingan Ke-2-4
1.Kad pairing akan dimulakan daripada  ' 2 kad pair' mata teratas
2.Diikuti pairing dengan '2 kad pair' mata yang paling rendah
3. Pairing  '2 kad pair' mata dibahagian diantaranya
Pastikan pemain tidak mendapat warna hitam/putih 3kali berturut-turut
Note: Exp: 3.5 vs 3 mata, 3 Vs 3 mata, 3 Vs 2.5 mata..  pemain tidak akan bertemu dengan 4 Vs 3 mata jika ada pemain lain mempunyai 3.5 mata. Pemain juga tidak akan bertemu 3 Vs 2 mata jika ada pemain mempunyai 2.5 mata.

Final standing (penentuan kedudukan terakhir pemain)

Sistem Tie Break (jika mata sama)
1. P.E. (pertemuan kemenagan jika pernah bertemu)
2.Cumulative Score (Kutipan mata turutan)
3. T. Break-  Kutipan mata 'oppenent' lawan

Baru-baru ini sistem manual ini saya gunakan semasa sambutan Hari Wilayah - Integrasi bersama pemain OKU di Dataran Merdeka.  Memandangkan bilangan yang sedikit dan tiada power point elektrik untuk komputer dan sebelumnya tiada perancangan  untuk diadakan kejohanan.

CATATAN PERIBADI:
Geraldine: Pertama kali saya bertemu dengan beliau semasa di Wisma Belia, Kuala Lumpur pada tahun 1991, 20 tahun yang lalu.  Pada masa itu berlangsung satu Kejohanan Catur Merdeka berpasukan.  En Latif Mohamad selaku setiausaha Kehormat MCF  pada masa itu.  Saya mewakili Pasukan Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).  En Latif menempatkan saya satu bilik dengan Geraldine. Pada pandangan saya beliau sangat cantik (Bedarah campuran  India & Cina) dan peramah.  Saya bertemu dengan ibu  dan kembarnya.  Kami bermain satu game, di pertengahan permaianan  beliau offer draw.  Tapi  kini beliau telah berhijrah ke Australia dan bekerja di Hong Kong.
Eliza Hanum:  Pertama kali saya bertemu beliau semasa  di Kejohanan Catur Terbuka di MPSA Shah Alam 23 tahun lalu.  Ketika itu saya tinggal di kawasan Balai Bomba Section 15 Shah Alam  dan juga merupakan  kejohanan catur Terbuka pertama kalinya saya sertai.  Beliau mempunyai ramai peminat dan popular di kalangan pemain lelaki yang seangkatan dengannya. Kali terakhir berjumpa beliau pada 2 tahun sudah di keluarganya. Kini beliau , ayahnya Hj Ibrahim (Timbalan Presiden MCF) dan adiknya NWM Eliza Hanim menetap di Shah Alam Selangor.
Wan Khye Teng:  Saya mengenai beliau ketika kecil lagi.  Pertama kali saya melihat beliau  di Kejohanan yang sering dianjurkan oleh Persatuan catur Selangor di Klang Valley Club di Subang Jaya dan di Sunway College.  Ibunya Pn Ester sangat peramah dan beliau juga sangat aktif dan  perwatakannya sangat periang, manis  dan sering bertanya.  Kini beliau sedang belajar di United State.
