EPM
    Keywords: Software

EPM, also known as El Pimp Masiin (pimp=Pairing In McMahon Pits and I'm sorry for the joke in the name) is a pairing program by Tapio Vuorinen. After trying several different pairing programs along the years, few of the Finnish tournament organizers decided they needed something better and I (Tapio Vuorinen) decided to deliver it.

The software is currently in continous testing and simultaneously under heavy development. First two tournaments have been paired with EPM already and results have been encouraging. The next tournament to be paired with EPM is Takapotku on February 28-29th in Helsinki, Finland.

The software is currently only in Finnish, however internationalization is underway. EPM runs in text console and tested platforms include Solaris/Sparc, Linux/x86 and Cygwin. Windows' text console cannot be stretched big enough, sorry :-)

Test runs have been promising, EPM can deliver pairings for tournaments with up to 2000 players in a reasonable time on a standard PC.
