I set my most recent tournament (as vebu207596)for 18 boards in 9x2 board rounds. Tourney #85589.

Used the string +howell+ +Rounds9+ in description.

Had 7 full tables (14 pairs) and was somehat surprised to find we were playing 13x1 board rounds and not the 9x2.

Was the upper case R the problem? If not then why default to a full Howell of only 13 boards?

Unless someone with more experience says otherwise, I imagine you guess right: at least some of these strings are case sensitive, and if you had said "+rounds9+" I would expect it to work.

We fixed this sometime last year. They're all case-insensitive now.
