Competition Image Management

The Main Institution logos should be placed top right, while the Competition logo should be placed top left.

Bottom banner is usually used for advertising sponsors and partners. It will be resized to be 1 cm high (0.39 inches), so take this into account when creating the bottom banner. The width of the bottom banner for A4 should be 19 cm (7.48 inches), 20 cm (7.87 inches) for Letter.

Remember to remove transparency if using PNG images!

Session

Competition => Edit Competition Info => Session page sets up the number of shooting sessions and their scheduling. Shooting sessions can be one after the other (like in many indoors) or simultaneous (like in field or 3D with multiple fields) or a mix of them.

Session Management - Top part

Top part: Session definition

On the top part, after selecting the number of sessions (up to 9), the number of butts per session and archers per butt need to be set. If only 2 archers per butt are set, one can choose if they will shoot "AB" (at the same time) or "AC" (one per line) or "AD" (one per line on each side of the butt).

Don't forget to save your setup!

Advanced Session Management

Advanced

The :Advanced: link leads to a page where some details of each session can be adjusted. The main "Session" page was referring to the "Qualification" part of the competition, in the advanced page the "session" is more related to the shooting moments of the competition: qualification, elimination rounds, elimination matches, medal matches, etc. The image shows an example of Qualification Sessions and Matches Sessions.

Don't forget to save your setup!

Session Management - Bottom part

Bottom part: Scheduling

On the bottom part of the page, session per session and distance per distance, some settings are mandatory:

• Ends: number of ends for the distance
• Arrows: number of arrows per end

The other fields are optional and will be used both for Scheduling and for the field layout

• Date: date the distance will be shot
• Warm Up: time when the warmup will start
• Length: duration of the warmup in minutes
• Starting Time: time when the distance will start
• Length: duration of the distance in minutes. If no values are set for the other distances, consider placing the full qualification time here.
• Schedule notes: comments that will be put in the schedule

modifications in these fields are automatically saved leaving the field: the value will change in blue or green to show the change

Advanced

Clicking on the Advanced button two more fields will appear:

• Ends to Shoot: number of ends to shoot in that distance: 0 means all
• Ends Offset: End offset from which to accept scores: 0 is the first end, 1 is the second, etc

These fields control situation like, for example, a field of 60 targets to shoot in 3 days, 20 targets per day: instead of creating scorecards with 60 lines, it is better to divide in 3 distances, the first ranging from target 1 to 20 (20 Ends to Shoot, 0 offset), the second distance from 21 to 40 (20 Ends to Shoot, 20 offset), the third distance from 41 to 60 (20 Ends to Shoot, 40 offset),

• Manage Divisions/Classes: through this section (see Figure 2.11) the user can manage Divisions and Classes. When the user is setting a new tournament, the software automatically compiles this section based on the National Federation rules. Except for some special instances, it is NOT recommended to edit any default value on this page.

The Manage Distances and Manage Targets commands are to be explored separately, for they are automatically compiled by the program, using the National Federation rules and, based on that, it is NOT recommended to edit any default value. The Scheduling and Warm Up Schedule options will be described in the Advanced Tournaments Management chapter (see Par. 5.2 and Par. 5.5).

Advanced Parameters
