I think that's because in the USA, they refer to boards and tables,
instead of just tables. The above example assigns boards 1 and 2 to table
1, boards 3 and 4 to table 2, and boards 5 and 6 to table 3.

What they call "boards" in the US are referred to as "tables" in the UK,
so the above example would translate to:

config tables{'A'} = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

Good suggestion.

Also a good suggestion.

Run tsh with the name of the folder containing the event you want to open.
If for example, you have two folders, called "durham2007"
and "romford2007", where Romford has a newer config file, then running
tsh like this:

tsh.pl durham2007

will make it open the Durham event instead of Romford.
