    Before starting the matches, ties need to be solved in order to send athletes from ranking round to the correct places in the brackets. 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.

    To break shoot-offs and proceed to Elimination and Final Rounds, the user has to click ''OK'' on each screen,
    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).


    Checks need to be performed one event at a time.

    Once scores are entered, the user can click on ''OK'' and break the tie (see Figure 4.2). To view the last updates
    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.
    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.


    ==Inputting results== <!--T:9-->

    <!--T:10-->
    Inputting results of Elimination and Final Rounds is a simple task. In the '''''Individual Finals/Team Finals'''''
    menu (see Figure 4.8) the software offers the following options.


    <!--T:11-->
    <placeholder: Figure 4.8: Individual Finals menu>


    ===Scorecard Printout=== <!--T:12-->
    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 '''Score 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.


    <!--T:13-->
    <placeholder: Figure 4.9: Finals Scorecards Printout page.>


    ===Athlete Numbers=== <!--T:14-->
    Similarly to the Qualification Rounds, the user can print Athlete Numbers for the Final
    Rounds (see Figure 4.10).


    <!--T:15-->
    <placeholder: Figure 4.10: Athlete Numbers Printout for the Final Rounds.>


    ===Data insert (Bracket view)=== <!--T:16-->
    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).


    <!--T:17-->
    <placeholder: Figure 4.11: Data insert in Bracket view.>


    ===N.B.=== <!--T:18-->
    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.

    <!--T:19-->
    For inputting scores, both in the ''Set System'' and in the ''Cumulative System'', the user has to click on the <code class="button">Enable</code> button on the wished column, to edit the scores fields. In case of Byes, the user has to choose the
    option ‘Bye’ in the drop-down menu beside the winner’s name. By default, the program will make the
    athlete advance to the following rounds. Should an athlete have no opponents, i@nseo will move the
    archer directly to the next round.

    <!--T:20-->
    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).


    <!--T:21-->
    <placeholder: Figure 4.12: Inputting Byes and Shoot-offs scores.>


    ===Data insert (Table view)=== <!--T:22-->
    Another way of inputting scores during Elimination and Final Rounds is using
    the Table view. In this case, the page won’t display brackets, but a chart, from which the user can input
    both ''scores of single ends'', and ''set/cumulative scores''. For a standard tournament, when
    electronic devices are not in use, the effectiveness of this scoring method is significantly lessened. Plus,
    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).


    <!--T:23-->
    <placeholder: Figure 4.13: Data insert in Table view.>


    ===Spotting=== <!--T:24-->
    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).


    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.
    ===Printout=== <!--T:25-->
    {{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}}
    See Par. 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.
    ===Speaker=== <!--T:26-->
    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).


    This is also the button to press to access the <code class="button">Reset Data to situation before SO</code> button.
    <!--T:27-->
    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.

    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 be managed at first, once the user gets used to the basic management method, competitions will be much easier to manage and flawless.

    Check and resolve tie scores

    Individual Finals Menu - no ties solved
    Individual Finals Menu - some ties solved

    Before starting the matches, ties need to be solved in order to send athletes from ranking round to the correct places in the brackets. 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.

    Once ties are resolved, redoing the procedure will void the matches already done!

    The procedure starts selecting Individual Finals => Check shoot-off before final phases, 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.

    List of Events to check/checked
    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.

    Checks need to be performed one event at a time.

    Tie score and SO scorecard PDF

    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 Individual Finals => Shoot Off/Coin Toss Status Printout menu item

    CT and SO panel
    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 Automatic Coin Toss Assignments 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.

    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

    An Advanced Mode 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.

    This is also the button to press to access the Reset Data to situation before SO button.

    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!

    Top of page

    Individual Finals Scorecards, top of page

    This section allows to print scorecards 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 items: very useful are the Barcodes printed on scorecards because it greatly 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 size of the section
