Locate the 12th digit in the barcode. If the check digit is not yet in place, this is the last digit from the left. If the check digit is in place, this is the second to last digit from the left.
For example, if your EAN-13 was 97 35940 56482 4, the 12th digit is the No. 2.
Starting with this 12th digit, move from right to left across the code adding every second digit to it. Using our example code of 97 35940 56482 4, this means starting with the No. 2 and adding to it the numbers 4, 5, 4, 5 and 7, giving a total of 27.
Multiply the sum obtained in Step 2 by 3. Using our example above, this means the multiplying of 27 by 3, giving a total of 81.
Locate the 11th digit in the code. Using our example code of 97 35940 56482 4, this would be the No. 8.
Starting with the 11th digit, move from right to left across the code adding every second digit to it. Using our example of 97 35940 56482 4, this means starting with the No. 8 and adding to it 6, 0, 9, 3 and 9, giving a total of 35.
Add the results from Step 3 and Step 5. In our example this means adding 81 and 35, giving a total of 116.
Round the result of Step 6 up to the nearest multiple of 10. In our example, this means rounding 116 up to 120.
Subtract the result of Step 7 from the result of Step 6. In our example, this is 120-116, giving us a difference of 4. This 4 should be the 13th number in the EAN-13, otherwise known as the check digit.

How to Organize a Tournament ChecklistIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Brainstorm major tasks that need to be accomplished on and before tournament day. Examples include reserving event space, placing an ad for participants in a local newspaper, purchasing or arranging for prizes, preparing a registration list and collecting entry fees.
Place items in the order of when they need to be accomplished, starting from tournament day and working backward to today. Ask vendors how much time they need to deliver products to determine where to put ordering from those vendors on the time line.
Break the list down into days, weeks or months, depending on how much time you have before tournament day --- a checklist for a simple tournament two weeks away may have the same number of tasks as a major charity function that takes six months of planning, so knowing that certain tasks need to be done today, tomorrow, next Monday, etc. will help you accomplish tasks quickly.

Separating tasks by when they need to be accomplished will ensure you hit deadlines and keep you from focusing on later tasks at the expense of immediate ones.
Enter the list into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet software isn't just for complex math equations --- the built-in grid is perfect for formatting a list and can help keep tabs on expenditures and entry fees.

Separate tasks based on the type of skill they require. For example, tracking entry fees or operating costs would fall under Money/Finance, registering a charity tournament as a 501(c)3 would fall under Legal and building goody bags and making signs for the event would fall under Crafts.
Enter items on the list into a spreadsheet organized by category.

Computerized spreadsheets offer built-in structure, helpful to organizing your checklist.
If you enlisted help planning your tournament, print the checklist by section and put people in charge of each section based on their skill sets.

How to Open an FTP Site in ExplorerIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Open an Explorer window by going to Start>My Computer.
Make sure the address bar is showing. If not, go to View>Toolbars and select Address Bar (this is more likely to be necessary in XP).
Type the address of the FTP server into the address bar, starting with ftp://. So to access yourftp.com, for example, you would type in ftp://yourftp.com.
Enter your user name and password if prompted. If this is the case, in the Log On As dialogue box that comes up, make sure that 'Log on anonymously' is unchecked. If the site is not secured, you will not be asked for this. A new window should open showing all the available folders in the FTP site.
Drag files from your desktop into the FTP folder to upload; drag them from the folder onto your desktop to download.
