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.

Set up

Settings are defined in Competition/Individual Events Setup

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 checked and 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!

Scorecard Printout

Top of page

Individual Finals Scorecards, top of page

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

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

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)

Nameplates

Individual Finals Scorecards, Nameplates

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.

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.
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.

Data insert (Table view)

[NB: insert picture!] In table view scores can be entered by schedule or selecting a specific phase from multiple events.
