pascalg:
I've noticed that once you've entered a result for a pairing, it's no longer possible to return to a completely empty field.
Indicating a result and allowing you to return to a completely empty field if necessary could be useful in certain specific cases.
It is above all a principle of computer ergonomics: "any action can be undone".
Let's imagine a tournament director who gets the wrong pairing line when he wants to indicate a result. If he can't put back an empty field, he no longer knows which pairings are waiting for a result and which have received a real result.
There is therefore a risk of confusion and a possibility of introducing an imperceptible error (and pairing the next round with an uncorrected result) if the tournament director is not very attentive.
