Features:
- Player index
To be able to cross reference matches with players and results which are needed to complete the daw through to a final, you need to add the players to your database using the forms within this software. Then when creating a list of the players to be included in a draw you can simply tick their checkboxes.
- Event list
The name of the event, the country and state is to be added to your event list before creating a drawsheet so that Match Codes can be assigned to each match in a draw. It is most recommended to commence the name of the event with the year so that when you create a new drawsheet for the next year you won't have to delete the previous one (safeguards are in place to prevent duplicating drawsheets).
- Match Codes
Match codes are comprised of the Event title, the year, the country, the state and the game number depending on its position in a drawsheet.
- Creating a new drawsheet
Once you have created an Event and have a list of Players to include, creating a new drawsheet is as simple as following the prompts though the process. Along the way you can sort the players according to their rank/seed in the tournament. It is most recommended to double check your entries before clicking onto the next step because once a drawsheet has been completed it cannot be edited and if any errors have been made you will have to start again from the beginning.
- Drawsheet seed order
Once your players have been added for the Event you can sort the seed list by either click-dragging rows or by entering their rank number from 1 to whatever number of entries you have. Click-dragging rows may ensure that there are no errors in the sequence however the numbering option may be more suitable when you have a long list of players.
- Drawsheet byes
The software will total your players and automatically place them in the draw according to seed order allowing for any byes. It will also select the type of drawsheet to be used whether it be for 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 player drawsheet.
- Drawsheet progression
When each match is filled by two (2) players a hyperlink will become active for that match. When that match finishes you need to use that hyperlink to open the appropriate form to update the score results. Each winner will then automatically go through to their next round and when that round is filled by 2 players another hyperlink will become active and so on until you reach the final of the draw.
- Drawsheet print outs
At the bottom of the drawsheet display page there is a link for Printer Friendly Version to end the page to your printer. Alternatively, the drawsheet can also be exported by using one of the Save links.
