Settings for Competitions

	Type of Competition
	This setting determines whether ScoreManager will see this competition as a club, regional, or international competition. If it is a club competition then ScoreManager will show a list of clubs when new entries are being created or imported into ScoreManager. Similarly if it is a regional or international competition then ScoreManager will show a list of regions or countries which have been saved in ScoreManager.

	Scoring Paradigm
	The scoring paradigms chosen here will determine whether ScoreManager calculates an athlete's scores using either 2017 - 2020 if FIG Code of Points or the 2013 - 2016 FIG Code of Points.

Teams Paradigm

The method by which scores are calculated for teams events is determined by the setting for Teams Paradigm. If the FIG teams paradigm is selected then the scores for teams events will be calculated in accordance with the Scoring Paradigm chosen in the previous setting.

Scoring teams competitions has not yet been implemented in ScoreManager but will be included in a future version.

Include Time of Flight

There may be some competitions where the organiser does not want to include Time of Flight in the scores for Trampoline and Synchronised Trampoline. Such competitions could include: recreational competitions where Time of Flight is not important; internal club competitions where the club does not have a Time of Flight or Horizontal Displacement machine; competitions for young athletes where the organiser wishes athletes to concentrate on factors other than their Time of Flight.

This setting enables ScoreManager to accommodate these competitions by allowing the competition organiser to specify whether they wish Time of Flight to be included in the scores.

Include Horizontal Displacement

There may be some competitions where it may not appropriate to include horizontal displacement in the scores for individual trampoline. Such competitions could include: recreational competitions where horizontal displacment is not important; internal club competitions where the club does not have a horizontal displacement machine; competitions for young athletes where the organiser wishes athletes to concentrate on factors other than horizontal displacement.

This setting enables ScoreManager to accommodate these competitions by allowing the competition organiser to specify whether they wish horizontal displacement to be included in the scores.

The setting is automatically disabled if the if FIG 2016 Code of Points is selected as the scoring paradigm.

Horizontal Displacement Method

Where scores individual trampoline include horizontal displacement, the competition organiser can specify here whether displacement is to be scored by machine or by judges. Changing this option will affect the input fields available when entering an athlete's scores manually.

This setting is automatically disabled it the FIG 2016 Code of Points is selected as the scoring paradigm.

Synchronisation Method

For synchronised competitions the competition organiser can specify whether the scores for synchronisation are to be calculated using a machine or manually by synchronisation judges.

Changing this option affects the input fields available when entering scores for synchronised trampoline manually.

Late Entries

This option allows the competition organiser to specify where late entries will be placed in the starting order of athletes if a late entry is received after the start order has been drawn and published.

The options available to the organiser are:

•Place First in Grade - the late entry will be placed as the very first athlete to compete in the grade. The athlete will be placed at the beginning of the first start group if there is more than one start group for the grade.

•Place Last in Grade - the athlete will be placed as the very last athlete to compete in the grade. The athlete will be placed at the end of the last start group if there is more than one start group for the grade.

•Redraw Grade - the starting order for the grade will be redrawn each time a late entry is received for the grade.

•None - ScoreManager will take no action when a late entry is added to the competition. The competition organiser will manually have to redraw the starting order for the athlete to appear in the competition.

Ties in Semi-Final Round

This option allows the competition organiser to automate the process of progressing athletes from the Qualifying Round to the Semi-Final Round.

Where two or more athletes have tied for the final place in the Semi-Final round the organiser can specify whether all of the tied athletes will be added to the start list the Final round or whether all of the tied athletes will be removed from the start order for the Semi-Final round.

For example: if the organiser specifies that sixteen athletes are to progress from the qualifying round to the Semi-Final round but two athletes are tied for sixteenth place in the qualifying round, setting this option to Add Tied Athletes to Semi-Final will cause ScoreManager to progress nine athletes to the Semi-Final round.

Ties in For Final Round

This option allows the competition organiser to automate the process of progressing athletes to the Final round.

Where two or more athletes have tied for the last place in the Final round from either the Qualifying round or the Semi-Final round, by using this setting the competition organiser can specify whether or all of the tied athletes will be added or removed from the starting order for the Final round.

For example: if eight athletes are to progress from the Qualifying round to the final round but three athletes are tied for eighth place in the Qualifying round, setting this option to Remove Tied Athlete from Final will cause ScoreManager to progress only five athletes to the final round (eight athletes minus the three tied athletes).
