Extension of the structured sorting criterion for the FFE (nation region CID department club name first name).
Displays

Possibility to put or not a frame around the flags ("Report" menu).
Team Placement
The default team placement is the one that has been set up for Budapest 2019: the team with the most right-handed players is placed on the right - if a team does not have a substitute, a dummy right-handed substitute is added to the team.
It is possible to use instead "First team on the right" using the menu "Competition | Team placement".
Match entry
A poule or tableau match can be recorded in the "in progress" (i.e. not finished) state with scores and cards. To do this, check "in progress" before clicking OK in the match entry window.

Web
Possibility to send matches in progress on engarde-service for a few competitions each weekend (as it was at the Budapest World Championships). Contact us.
Engarde Auxiliary Sender
Sending data on engarde-service can be done by a particular mode of Auxiliary Engarde called Auxiliary Engarde Sender. To do this, use the menu to the right of the arrow of a competition to be opened in a green banner and choose "Open in client-server for sending data to the Web".
This reduces the workload of the Engarde Main and does not disrupt it in the event of a problem in data transmission.
Auxiliary Sender cannot make an entry and cannot connect to the pistes. It is just used to send the data to the web server with the Web Panel.
Cards
When Engarde is connected to a piste apparatus, the cards provided by the piste apparatus can be disconnected and put in manually mode ("Cards" menu in the piste windows).
Added non-combativity P-cards in the match entry.
There is no special end-of-match treatment for non-combativeness, it is necessary to make the match win to whoever is entitled.
Cyrano 1.1
Version 1.1 of the Cyrano protocol for communication with piste apparatuses has been created for Budapest 2019. It includes two additions: P-cards and time to the hundredth of a second.
Engarde allows you to choose between Cyrano 1.0 and Cyrano 1.1 (blue or yellow button on the piste table). Currently, only Favero apparatuses with software version of July 2019 or later can use Cyrano 1.1.
The stopwatch is sent back to the piste apparatus when a PREVIOUS is made.
DiapoEngarde
When you click on the small blue button to launch the slideshow, a menu allows you to display on a half screen, or a quarter screen or the current position of the window.
When not displayed on the full screen, a small grey frame is displayed around the window.
Automatic update of the screen of the drawing of the positions 123-456 of the teams. You can start the display on "a tableau" or "all tableaux" and then draw lots to see that the draw is live.
Adding banners, flags and short names in Team Matches.
Possibility to put or not a frame around the flags ("Display" menu).
Changing the automatic adjustment, for DiapoEngarde, the three possible values are:
- 0 (yellow), there is no adjustment, you adjust as usual
- 1 (green), there is an automatic adjustment for each screen. It is calculated before the screen is displayed. From one screen to another, the font size and field widths can change if there are long names or not. Names are reduced when they are very long.
- 2 (blue), there is a global automatic adjustment, calculated when the first screen is displayed. There is stability of font size and field widths in this mode. Names are reduced when they are very long.
Modes 1 and 2 have been very useful for remote control of the DiapoEngarde screen at Budapest 2019. This feature will be available to all soon.
Showpiste
Possibility to put or not a frame around the flags.
Display without window edge when hiding the toolbar even if you are not in full screen.

A border on the right and a border at the bottom can be set with the "margin" menu.
It is possible to change the port with the menu item "Change Port". When using Marciano piste apparatuses, avoid port 50101 on which the piste apparatuses are broadcasting.
Showpiste accepts Cyrano 1.0 and Cyrano 1.1.
In Cyrano 1.1, when the time is >= 10 seconds, it is displayed in yellow without the tenths, format mm:ss - when the time is < 10 seconds, it is displayed in red without the minutes, format ss.d
Whether or not to activate photos with the "With photos" menu. In basic mode, the photos must be placed in the "Resources1\Photos" directory and the Cyrano protocol must work with the IDs (choice to be made in the piste table instead of "Engarde Keys"). It is also possible to use photos placed on another computer with the "With photos of another computer" menu. The name of the file that contains the photo of a fencer is the ID of the fencer plus .jpg
EngardeSwitch
Introduction of application groups (buttons A B C D). When you ask to display an application of a group with "Show", all the applications of this group are displayed. This is useful for example to make a screen with the left part showing the current poules and the right part showing the temporary ranking. Scripts are done with groups or application numbers (for applications that are not in groups).
It is possible to uncheck "Only one visible App/Group" from the menu. In this case, when you ask to show an application or group with "Show", EngardeSwitch does not hide the other applications and you must use the "Hide" button to hide the applications and groups you want to hide.

By teams, the display of "who is 123, who is 456?" is completed with the piste number.
DiapoEngarde allows you to search for a competition on the Internet in the same way as Engarde Smart: tick the "Open on the Internet" box in the home page; change the encoding (displayed in the home page) if necessary to correctly display tournaments and competitions from another language region.
The absence of a FIE license is reported when creating FIE XML files but does not prevent the files from being produced.

- "Manual" to manually enter or modify certain hours/pistes.
Search for "pistes and hours" doubloons in the manual assignment and when exiting the piste and hour assignment panel.

Marking poules and matches "locked" or "checked"
Implementation of a blocking system with an icon "locked" or "checked" on poules and tableau matches. When a poule or a tableau match is locked or checked, it cannot be modified by Engarde Smart, by Engarde Auxiliary and by the piste apparatus.
A verified poule is displayed in blue with an icon "checked"; a locked poule is displayed in orange with an icon "padlock"; an ended poule, but neither locked nor checked, is displayed in green with an icon "locked padlock". Analogous for the tableau matchs.
The use principle is the following one: when we want to verify an ended poule, we begin by locking it, then we verify (we correct if need), then we mark "checked". It is not mandatory to use this system.
Gauges indicate percentages of poules completed, blocked and verified. Tableaux show their percentages of matches completed and verified.
Versions

Engarde10 is mainly a more visual and ergonomic version of Engarde.
Several windows have been integrated into the main window as tabs. The main tables can be used as well. They can also be detached from the main window to have a view of two windows at the same time.
As with all tabbed applications, you can switch between tabs at any time (provided you do not open a modal window such as assigning tracks or referees). It is possible to close a tab. In this case, it can be found using the WINDOWS menu.
The poules of the current round and the tableaux are displayed in the state of the moment, in the form of maps that can be dragged. Poules and tableaux can be reduced or extended. It is possible to zoom in and out. A search mechanism can be used to find the poules and the tableaux of a fencer or referee.
The Formula tab provides a view of all the parameters of the formula and allows you to modify them. The formulas are loaded by choosing from a list in which each formula is described on 2 or 3 lines. The list can be obtained in French or English. It is possible to save personal formulas and load them with the same mechanism.
The pistes used are entered ("Pistes - Referees" button then "Names of the Pistes" menu). They are used for the assignment of pistes and referees (use of the whole list or a part). The connection to the pistes is facilitated by the ability to assign IP numbers to all pistes at once in two situations: (1) when the numbers follow one another on the last field of the IP numbers; (2) when using the FIE SEMI 1.0 standard.
