Checklist for weeklies
Running weeklies includes some admistration both before and during the competition day, so here's a checklist to help You remember the basics.
Before competition starts
-
Have all registered players confirmed their participation (and paid)?
- If yes, then you can set "Player registration = No" from Edit Competition --> Public
- You should also set "Show automated results = Yes"
- Remember you can also manually add players to competition and change their setting from Players list
- You can also use the Players list to save who has already payed (remember to save after changes)
- Does your competition have multiple rounds?
- If yes, then it's better to create the first round under "parent competition" before starting to enter scores
- Remember that you can copy players from parent or other competitions within the same tour (usually from parent to first round, if registrations were collected on parent level)
- Check that your competition and rounds are using groups: Edit Competition --> Details --> Use groups = Yes
- If you have different classes, also check Edit Competition --> Details --> Use classes = Yes
- Generate groups for first round.
- Now everything is ready to start a round
- To enter scores click "Entering" on the top right corner
- Then select group and starting basket and Start...
Between the rounds
- Check that all players have all scores recorded
- Or you can set DNS or DNF to a players from Players list
- Create next round by going to Edit competition --> Rounds --> Copy new
- More information on creating new rounds
- Check that all players and classes are copied OK
- Generate group for the round
- This time you might want to use "By previous round" option to get players sorted by their scores
- Check that "Show automated results = Yes" on the new round and parent competition
- Now next round should be ready to start
After all rounds - competition finished
- Check again that all players have all scores recorded or DNS or DNF set to a player from the players list
- Check that "Show automated results = Yes"
- At this point, you can close competition from entering or updating scores
- Edit competition --> Details --> "Closed for entering results = Yes"
- If you're using handicap calculations, check the settings from top competition level
- Edit competition (top level) --> Public --> Weekly tables
- WeeklyHC - basic average based handicap
- SkoorinRatingHC - skooring rating based handicap - this can be used already in the first competition if course has rating
- More information on different point systems available here
- Edit competition (top level) --> Public --> Weekly tables
- Go to parent competition to see total scores for rounds played today
- On this page you can also see the handicapped results
- Note! On WeeklyHC option, players that do not have a handicap yet, are not shown on the list
