The Individual and Team Finals, or Elimination and Final Rounds, are one of the most important |
|||
stages in a tournament. Though they can seem hard to be managed at first, once the user will learn the basic |
|||
management method, organizing national competitions will be much easier and flawless. |
|||
<languages/> |
|||
== Setting the Elimination Round == |
|||
The Individual and Team Finals, also called Elimination (up to 1/8) and Final (from 1/4 to medals) Rounds, are usually the most important |
|||
Before starting the Elimination Round, the user has to check for any tied scores, mainly, in the last place |
|||
stages in a tournament. Though they can seem hard to manage at first, once the user gets used to the basic management method, competitions will be much easier to manage as the process does not change. |
|||
granting access to the Finals. When there are tied archers, the user can check their ranking through the windows |
|||
that can be opened clicking on: |
|||
== Set up == |
|||
'''Individual Finals → Check shoot-off before final rounds''' |
|||
Settings are defined in [[Competition/Individual Events Setup]] |
|||
== Check and resolve tie scores == |

All the tournament Divisions and Classes highlighted in red concern tied archers (as in the first row of both |

|||
management, it simply points out the shoot-offs to be broken before starting Final Rounds. |
|||
Once the qualification scores are all verified, ties need to be checked and solved in order to send athletes from ranking round to the correct places in the brackets for individual match play. Ties can be solved through ''Shoot Offs'' (SO) or ''Coin Tosses'' (CT), depending on the rules of the competition. Usually SO are needed for the last positions in the "saved" places (the ones granting direct access to a different phase than the first one) or the last positions of the bracket places. Ties in other positions are usually solved with Coin Tosses. |
|||
{{Note|type=error|text=Once ties are resolved, redoing the procedure will reset the shoot off position. This will also void any matches that have already occurred and reset them to their default position!}} |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.1: The menu highlighting shoot-offs to be broken before starting Final Rounds> |
|||
The procedure starts selecting <code>Individual Finals => Check shoot-off before final phases</code>, the submenu differ if no events have been checked or at least one has been solved. The red highlighted events in the menu item show which events have not been checked yet. |
|||
To break shoot-offs and proceed to Elimination and Final Rounds, the user has to click ''OK'' on each screen, |
|||
</div> |
|||
after choosing ''All'' (or the wished Division) in the drop-down menu (meaning that the user has to confirm each |
|||
selected Division and Class), so that the program will save that there are no shoot-offs to break. In case of |
|||
shoot-offs, matches will be highlighted, and, once ties are shot, the user can simply input the scores of the |
|||
shooting athletes to break them (on the right) and modify the relative position in final rankings (on the left). |
|||
<div style="overflow: hidden">[[File:Individual-Finals-Ties-01.png|thumb|List of Events to check/checked]] |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.2: Shoot-offs to be broken, with tie scores and Final Ranking position.> |
|||
[[File:Individual-Finals-Ties-04.png|thumb|Events list after tie score check]] |
|||
The list of events to check is presented, on the left the dot shows the status of each event: a green dot means all done, a red dot means the check needs to be performed. |
|||
Once scores are entered, the user can click on ‘''OK''’ and break the tie (see Figure 4.2). To view the last updates |
|||
in the rankings and check for shot-offs, the user can click on the second item in the menu, '''Shoot Off/Coin |
|||
Toss Status Printout''', which will print a document with the names of tied archers (see Figure 3.11). |
|||
Checks need to be performed one event at a time. |
|||
==Setting the Field Layout== |
|||
Before explaining how to manage matches and the related printouts, the user has to set up a quick, but |
|||
important, section, related to the Field Layout for Finals, which could rise planning issues, as organizing |
|||
committees perfectly know. To manage the Field Layout setup, the user should open the page: |
|||
</div> |
|||
'''''Competition'' → ''Individual Finals Setup''.''' |
|||
<div style="overflow: hidden">[[File:Individual-Finals-Ties-PDF.png|thumb|Tie score and SO scorecard PDF]] |
|||
In this section, the user can set a list of parameters that enable organizing committees to manage all the tasks |
|||
For each Event, a recap of the number of SO and CT to be done is shown. A PDF with the scorecards for the SO can be printed to hand to the judges. Instead of a single status per Event, a global status can be printed from the <code>Individual Finals => Shoot Off/Coin Toss Status Printout</code> menu item |
|||
related to Individual and Team Finals (see Figure 4.3). |
|||
</div> |
|||
< |
<div style="overflow: hidden">[[File:Individual-Finals-Ties-02.png|thumb|CT and SO panel]] |
||
[[File:Individual-Finals-Ties-03.png|thumb|Tie score panel after CT and SO]] |
|||
Clicking on an Event, the ranking round results of the qualified archers is shown, with selects in case of CT (yellow rows) and selects+input fields to insert the points of the SO. |
|||
An <code class="button">Automatic Coin Toss Assignments</code> button at the bottom right of the page helps speeding the CT by assigning randomly a position to the CT. SO need to be assigned manually based on the rules. |
|||
===Manage Events=== |
|||
{{note|type=info|text=World Archery rules state that the SO points only serve to exclude or include archers from the brackets, the actual ranking inside/outside the brackets is done as usual based on regular tie breakers and CT}} |
|||
This option shows the list of all the Individual Events that can be edited row by row. |
|||
Obviously, the most important item is the Initial stage. Using the drop-down menu, the user can |
|||
customize the first event (Session) in the Elimination and Final Rounds (see Figure 4.4). |
|||
An <code class="button">Advanced Mode</code> button on the bottom left of the page comes in handy if specific situations arise: you will be able to manually change all the positions to use in assigning archers to the bracket. |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.4: Managing Individual Events> |
|||
This is also the button to press to access the <code class="button">Reset Data to situation before SO</code> button. |
|||
===Archers on Targets=== |
|||
Clicking on this item, the software will open an empty page, where the user can |
|||
choose the wished event. Clicking, then, on ‘''OK''’, the software will enable the user to manage the |
|||
number of athletes per target (see Figure 4.5). By clicking on '''Field of Play Layout''', the user can |
|||
print the ''Layout of the Final Matches Field''. This view is really useful for organizing committees, |
|||
since it enables the user to intuitively arrange targets for the final rounds in a fast way. |
|||
{{note|type=error|text=Once the ties are solved, tampering with these items will bring up warning popups. Read carefully as unwanted actions will not be able to be undone!}} |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.5: Managing Targets (after choosing Division and Class).> |
|||
</div> |
|||
===Arrows per Set=== |
|||
Generally, this screen is used only as informative reference, since the number of arrows |
|||
and ends doesn’t change from tournament to tournament, but it’s always defined by the existing rules |
|||
(see Figure 4.6). |
|||
==Export Text File== |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.6: Managing the number of Arrows per Set (after choosing Division and Class).> |
|||
All the matches will be exported as semicolon separated values (.csv) |
|||
===Targets Number=== |
|||
It enables the user to manage the Targets Number (in Grid View mode) for each |
|||
event. Starting from the first step, the user can input the Targets Number to arrange the Finals Field |
|||
Layout for each set of matches (see Figure 4.7). |
|||

===Top of page=== |
||
<div class="nofloat"> |
|||
From this section, the user can create the tournament agenda (''Scheduling'') for the Elimination |
|||
[[File:Individual-Finals-Scorecards-01.png|thumb|Individual Finals Scorecards, top of page]] |
|||
and Finals Rounds. It is a major step, but it is not vital for the tournament management (see Par. 5.5). |
|||
This section allows to print scorecards for all matches of an archer on a single page, all matches of a single event or all matches of a single phase. |
|||
Checkboxes activate some options: very useful are the Barcodes printed on scorecards because it speeds up the score control and validation after the matches. |
|||
===Warm Up Schedule=== |
|||
In this section the user can manage, if needed, the number of targets on which archers |
|||
can shoot the scheduled Warm Up Ends (see Par. 5.5). |
|||
To print the scorecards of a specific phase (provided a schedule has been created), select the phase from the dropdown item on the middle of the right side of the section |
|||
===Manage Running Events=== |
|||
</div> |
|||
This section is meant for managing ''Running Events''. |
|||
===Middle of page=== |
|||
The description sequence is based on the events order, or, following the explanation of each command, the |
|||
<div class="nofloat"> |
|||
user can create a schedule for a tournament in a simple, complete and fast way. |
|||
[[File:Individual-Finals-Scorecards-02.png|thumb|Individual Finals Scorecards, middle of page]] |
|||
On the left side is the 'all matches on one page' scorecards for the different events |
|||
On the right side is is phase by phase scorecards, showing which scorecards can be printed (big icon) and which are not ready yet (little icon). |
|||
Underneath these it is possible to print blank versions of the scorecard varieties, useful for club sessions, or pre-printing and overlaying stickers if needed |
|||
{{note|type=info|text=If you have a 1/64 or 1/48 round then you will also have an option to print the Final match scorecard separately as the all on one scorecards only carry 6 phases to a page (i.e. 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 finals on the page, and the Medal Match is separate) }} |
|||
==Inputting results== |
|||
</div> |
|||
===Nameplates=== |
|||
Inputting results of Elimination and Final Rounds is a simple task. In the ''Individual Finals/Team Finals'' |
|||
<div class="nofloat"> |
|||
menu (see Figure 4.8) the software offers the following options. |
|||
[[File:Individual-Finals-Scorecards-03.png|thumb|Individual Finals Scorecards, Nameplates]] |
|||
[[File:Individual-Finals-Nameplates.png|thumb|Individual Nameplates]] |
|||
Prints the nameplates to be put on the shooting line or at the targets. The targets of the following phases after winning the match can also be printed. |
|||
</div> |
|||
==Athlete Numbers== |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.8: Individual Finals menu> |
|||
Similarly to the Qualification Rounds, Athlete Numbers specific for the Final rounds can be printed ([[Qualification#Athlete_Numbers|see Qualification => Athlete_Numbers]]). |
|||
==Data Insert == |
|||
===Scorecard Printout=== |
|||
There are many ways to insert results data in the system. |
|||
As per its title, this command enables the user to print Scorecards for the Final |
|||
Rounds (see Figure 4.9). The software upholds two types of scorecards: '''Single score with all |
|||
matches''' (on the ''left'') and S'''core for single match''' (on the ''right''). These two types of scorecards |
|||
only differ for their convenience. The right templates combine all Elimination and Final Rounds for a |
|||
single athlete on a ''single sheet'', as the archer will have to keep the scorecard up to the last match shot, |
|||
the other templates are divided per ''match'', as shown by columns divisions. |
|||
From the ''graphic'' point of view, it is recommended to print a blank scorecard each time, without |
|||
previous scores from shot Elimination and Final Rounds. It is, then, suggested to avoid using these |
|||
scorecards, except for tournaments in which electronic scoring devices are in use, or when enough |
|||
volunteers are available to collect and rearrange scorecards, for the data inputting before proceeding in |
|||
the tournament might be significantly time consuming. |
|||
As for the previous printouts pages, the software offers all the needed files, divided by Matches in the |
|||
''first row'', Division and Class, in the ''second row'', and for the user selection in the scroll-down window |
|||
''in the lowest part''. The user can also print Labels for each single athlete for the Final Rounds, just |
|||
as for Qualification Rounds. Similarly, in the single scorecard area, the user can print scorecards with |
|||
all the values from single arrows (available for tournaments in which electronic scoring devices are in |
|||
use). Scrolling down the page, the software offers other printouts, including blank scorecards without |
|||
names and, eventually, the chance of printing participants to Elimination and Final Rounds, by choosing |
|||
to print all the archers, or just the wished athletes. |
|||
===Data insert (Bracket view)=== |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.9: Finals Scorecards Printout page.> |
|||
This is the fastest way of data input for Matches: Select the event to manage, and if ties need to be managed, and a bracket will appear. |
|||
===Athlete Numbers=== |
|||
<code class="button">Enable</code> the phase to manage and insert the final score of each match. Results are immediately saved and the archers transferred to the following phases when you press tab. |
|||
Similarly to the Qualification Rounds, the user can print Athlete Numbers for the Final |
|||
Rounds (see Figure 4.10). |
|||
* In case of a bye or a disqualification, the appropriate item needs to be selected from the dropdown menu. You will then be taken to the IRM management page if needed for: DNF, DNF (No Rank), DNS, DSQ, DQB. |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.10: Athlete Numbers Printout for the Final Rounds.> |
|||
* In case of SO, after inserting the SO result you should select "Tie Winner" from the dropdown. Indicating a closest to the centre if appropriate. |
|||
Remember to <code class="button">Disable</code> once you have finished. |
|||
===Data insert (Bracket view)=== |
|||
This is the most efficient way of inputting data for Elimination Rounds. |
|||
Clicking on this command, the software will open a drop-down menu, from which the user can manage |
|||
the wished event. After choosing and confirming the selected option, the application will display a |
|||
bracket template, with the same framework of Elimination and Final Rounds, but with names and boxes |
|||
for inputting scores (see Figure 4.11). |
|||
[[File:IndivudalFinal Bracket.png|none|605x605px]] |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.11: Data insert in Bracket view.> |
|||
===Data insert (Table view)=== |
|||
===N.B.=== |
|||
Before choosing any event, the user should select any shot-offs that need breaking from the dropdown menu on the right (''Manage Tie-Break''), to input any scores from the corresponding shoot-offs. |
|||
In table view scores can be entered by schedule or selecting a specific phase from multiple events. |
|||
For inputting scores, both in the ''Set Systems'' and in the ''Cumulative Systems'', the user has to click |
|||
You can select either: |
|||
[Enable] on the wished column, to edit the scores fields. In case of Byes, the user has to choose the |
|||
* The timed phase from the dropdown box (1) or; |
|||
option ‘Bye’ in the drop-down menu beside the winner’s name. By default, the program will make the |
|||
* The Event and Round (2) |
|||
athlete advance to the following rounds. Should an athlete have no opponents, i@nseo will move the |
|||
archer directly to the next round. |
|||
You then need to select if you want to manage shootoffs (and the DNS/DNF/DQB status) (3) and if you want to enter the scores of event set for the set-based matches (4). |
|||
In case of tied matches, the user has to input the score of each shoot-off arrow in the last empty box on |
|||
the left of each row and, then, select ‘Tie Winner’ in the drop-down menu beside the winner’s name. |
|||
In case of tied scores, usually, a star is added after the score of the shoot-off arrow of the winner athlete |
|||
(for it is the closest to the face center; see Figure 4.12). |
|||
{{Note|type=reminder|text=Remember the new rules for WA events require that the average arrow of the match an athlete lost in is used to give their final rank, so unless you are using electronic scoring you will need to enter the scores of every end for set-based competitions anyway to successfully fulfil the criteria.}} |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.12: Inputting Byes and Shoot-offs scores.> |
|||
[[File:SelectTableEntry.png|none|605x605px]] |
|||
Once all scores are entered, pressing save at any point on the page will save all the results that are visible on the page and progress the winners to the next phase. At the top of the table there are some useful quick links: |
|||
===Data insert (Table view)=== |
|||
* '''previous phase''' go back one phase for the same event |
|||
Another way of inputting scores during Elimination and Final Rounds is using |
|||
* '''next phase''' go to next phase of the same event |
|||
the Table view. In this case, the page won’t display brackets, but a chart, from which the user can input |
|||
* '''brackets''' switch to the <code>Data insert (Bracket view)</code> |
|||
both ''scores of single ends'', and ''set/cumulative scores''. For a standard tournament, when |
|||
* '''Next phase Scorecards''' prints next phase scorecards of this event if you are using match-by-match scorecards |
|||
electronic devices are not in use, the effectiveness of this scoring method is significantly lessened. Plus, |
|||
* '''Next phase Names''' prints the next phase nameplates, if you are using them |
|||
in the first top row, the software offers a list of commands to browse the wished round of matches, as |
|||
the user can move to the ''Previous Phase'' or to the ''Next Phase'', view the ''Brackets'' up until then, |
|||
and print the ''Next Phase Scorecards'' (even for a single match, obviously), or the ''Next Phase |
|||
Names'' to prepare athletes name stands (see Figure 4.13). |
|||
[[File:EnterTableEntry.png|none|605x605px]] |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.13: Data insert in Table view.> |
|||
===Arrow by Arrow (Advanced users)=== |
|||
===Spotting=== |
|||
It is possible to edit the arrow by arrow results of all matches on the field either in a particular event and phase, or a total round. it is slower than the other methods, but useful if you need to validate scores or if some has messed up a scorecard (as sometimes happens at learning/domestic events) and you need to swap two athletes back round because they have the incorrect all in one scorecard. |
|||
This function is used for the '''Arrow by Arrow''' inputting. It enables the user to input the match |
|||
results live, and, consequently, on sight. This method is meant for national tournaments and |
|||
international competitions (see Par. 5.9). |
|||
* You can select by schedule in the left side or you can select the Event and Phase in the middle |
|||
===Printout=== |
|||
* Select which end number and the number of arrows to show (if you say end 2, and 3 arrows you will have arrows 4,5 and 6 shown to you) |
|||
See Par. 4.4. |
|||
* Click <code class="button">Ok </code> to load the screen |
|||
You can then enter or check the arrow values, enter any shootoff result, and also set the Tie/Bye/IRM status. |
|||
===Speaker=== |
|||
After entering the data click on the <code class="button">Next Phase</code> button to move the winner to the next phase. |
|||
This page enables the announcer to read the general overview of all the running Elimination |
|||
and Final Rounds, both ended or not, to promptly announce the results to onsite spectators. It is |
|||
meant for international competitions and national tournaments (see Par. 5.10). |
|||
[[File:IndFinArrbyArr.png|none|941x941px]] |
|||
Likewise, the user can also manage Team Matches. The procedure is similar, as it starts by setting the |
|||
tournament field in the same way of the Individual Finals, opening the command |
|||
'''''Competition'' → T''eam Finals Setup''''' |
|||
and printing ''Brackets'', ''Scorecards'' and ''Results'', using the menu for '''Team Finals'''. All the tasks follow |
|||
the same procedure that has been previously described for the Individual Finals management. |
|||
===Swap opponents=== |
|||
==Final Rounds Printout== |
|||
The swap opponents feature is used if it is allowed for a ranked athlete to pick a shooting side in a match (i.e. the high rank may choose who is shooting first, and the other athlete may pick their target). Load the page, select the Event and phase of the match, and then next to the match click the <code class="button">Swap Opponents</code> button to reverse the order. |
|||
This menu integrates all Printout commands and templates available in the software. Opening the main page |
|||
[[File:IndvSwapOpponents.png|none|947x947px]] |
|||
and clicking on ''Printout'', the following commands will be displayed (see Figure 4.14): |
|||
===Spotting=== |
|||
<placeholder: Figure 4.14: Printout menu.> |
|||
This view allows you to insert scores on a match by match basis - used mainly in the finals range situation with spotting, or for editing the result of one match if needed. |
|||
When loading the screen you will need to select: |
|||
===Participant Lists=== |
|||
* 1. Individual or Team |
|||
It enables the user to print all the Participants in the tournament (see Figure 2.40 and |
|||
* 2. The event |
|||
Figure 2.41 in Par. 2.4). |
|||
* 3. The Phase |
|||
* 4. The Match |
|||
* 5. If you want the target face to appear so you can plot arrow positions |
|||
then click <code class="button">Ok</code> to load the scorecard. |
|||
===Statistics=== |
|||
This command prints all the Statistics about the competition (see Figure 2.37 in Par. 2.4). |
|||
[[File:InputMatchSC.png|none|975x975px]] |
|||
===Div/Class Result List=== |
|||
From this function, the user can print rankings for Qualification Rounds (see Figure |

The Individual and Team Finals, also called Elimination (up to 1/8) and Final (from 1/4 to medals) Rounds, are usually the most important stages in a tournament. Though they can seem hard to manage at first, once the user gets used to the basic management method, competitions will be much easier to manage as the process does not change.

This section allows to print scorecards for all matches of an archer on a single page, all matches of a single event or all matches of a single phase.
Checkboxes activate some options: very useful are the Barcodes printed on scorecards because it speeds up the score control and validation after the matches.
To print the scorecards of a specific phase (provided a schedule has been created), select the phase from the dropdown item on the middle of the right side of the section
Middle of page
On the left side is the 'all matches on one page' scorecards for the different events On the right side is is phase by phase scorecards, showing which scorecards can be printed (big icon) and which are not ready yet (little icon). Underneath these it is possible to print blank versions of the scorecard varieties, useful for club sessions, or pre-printing and overlaying stickers if needed
Nameplates
Prints the nameplates to be put on the shooting line or at the targets. The targets of the following phases after winning the match can also be printed.
Athlete Numbers
Similarly to the Qualification Rounds, Athlete Numbers specific for the Final rounds can be printed (see Qualification => Athlete_Numbers).
Data Insert
There are many ways to insert results data in the system.
Data insert (Bracket view)
This is the fastest way of data input for Matches: Select the event to manage, and if ties need to be managed, and a bracket will appear.
Enable the phase to manage and insert the final score of each match. Results are immediately saved and the archers transferred to the following phases when you press tab.
- In case of a bye or a disqualification, the appropriate item needs to be selected from the dropdown menu. You will then be taken to the IRM management page if needed for: DNF, DNF (No Rank), DNS, DSQ, DQB.
- In case of SO, after inserting the SO result you should select "Tie Winner" from the dropdown. Indicating a closest to the centre if appropriate.
Remember to Disable once you have finished.
Data insert (Table view)
In table view scores can be entered by schedule or selecting a specific phase from multiple events. You can select either:
- The timed phase from the dropdown box (1) or;
- The Event and Round (2)
You then need to select if you want to manage shootoffs (and the DNS/DNF/DQB status) (3) and if you want to enter the scores of event set for the set-based matches (4).
Once all scores are entered, pressing save at any point on the page will save all the results that are visible on the page and progress the winners to the next phase. At the top of the table there are some useful quick links:
- previous phase go back one phase for the same event
- next phase go to next phase of the same event
- brackets switch to the
Data insert (Bracket view) - Next phase Scorecards prints next phase scorecards of this event if you are using match-by-match scorecards
- Next phase Names prints the next phase nameplates, if you are using them
Arrow by Arrow (Advanced users)
It is possible to edit the arrow by arrow results of all matches on the field either in a particular event and phase, or a total round. it is slower than the other methods, but useful if you need to validate scores or if some has messed up a scorecard (as sometimes happens at learning/domestic events) and you need to swap two athletes back round because they have the incorrect all in one scorecard.
- You can select by schedule in the left side or you can select the Event and Phase in the middle
- Select which end number and the number of arrows to show (if you say end 2, and 3 arrows you will have arrows 4,5 and 6 shown to you)
- Click
Okto load the screen
You can then enter or check the arrow values, enter any shootoff result, and also set the Tie/Bye/IRM status.
After entering the data click on the Next Phase button to move the winner to the next phase.
Swap opponents
The swap opponents feature is used if it is allowed for a ranked athlete to pick a shooting side in a match (i.e. the high rank may choose who is shooting first, and the other athlete may pick their target). Load the page, select the Event and phase of the match, and then next to the match click the Swap Opponents button to reverse the order.
Spotting
This view allows you to insert scores on a match by match basis - used mainly in the finals range situation with spotting, or for editing the result of one match if needed.
When loading the screen you will need to select:
- 1. Individual or Team
- 2. The event
- 3. The Phase
- 4. The Match
- 5. If you want the target face to appear so you can plot arrow positions
then click Ok to load the scorecard.
Now you can select a series of other options:
Alternate Match - This will allow you to set a shooting first, and when you enter a value and press 'Tab' the cursor will move to the next archer and the arrow as appropriate.
Keypad Input - This will allow you to enter the scores by using the numpad on a keyboard, faster for spotting with scopes, but requires practice.Set live flag- used when broadcasting matches on the web, this will make the match appear as the running match.
Other Options
Confirm Endfor both sides, this will confirm the result of the end. After both is confirmed the right shooting first archer is picked for the next end (if Alternate Match is selected). If the match is over the:Confirm Matchbutton activates and allows you to confirm the match result.
Move Winner to Next Phaseactivates once the match is confirmed, and will progress the winner to the next round.
