League Points

Players get 1 point for each game they win. In addition the winner gets 3 extra points whilst the loser only gets 1 extra point (therefore there is an incentive to play every match as you always get 1 point just for turning up). However, for each game the eventual winner loses, they lose 1 point. For example:

David vs Jack – 3-11, 5-11, 11-9, 0-11

David – 2 points (1 game plus 1 played bonus)

Jack – 5 points (3 games minus 1 game, plus 3 winner bonus)

The possible results look like:

Result	Points A	Points B
3 - 0	6	1
3 - 1	5	2
3 - 2	4	3
2 - 3	3	4
1 - 3	2	5
0 - 3	1	6

Getting Started - Creating a Tournament

In this next article in the getting started series, we will walk through the process of creating a simple tournament.

Before a tournament can be created, there must be a Club record for the club that will be hosting the tournament. This can be simply created by navigating to the Clubs screen, clicking "Add New Club", entering the club name and clicking "Save". The other details on the club screen we'll leave for now as not required for a simple tournament.

Now to create the tournament.
Navigate to the Tournaments screen and click "New Tournament" and then enter each of the fields and click Save:

The Tournaments screen will now include your tournament in the grid - click on the tournament name link and the tournament summary will be displayed.

The next step is to "Add New Grade", filling in all of the required details and clicking Save:

Next we need to add players to the tournament - click on the Players tab and click "Add Player". Select each player (from the presented full player list) to add to the tournament. The players will now be in the "[Ungraded]" section:

Now we need to add the players to the grade by click on the arrow button and selecting the grade that you want to add the player to.

In the next article we will run the draw, schedule the matches and enter the results.

Getting Started - Creating a League

In the next of the getting started series, we will walk through the process of creating a league.

First you need to add a league by clicking the "New League" button.

The "number promoted" determines how many top players will be promoted and demoted at the end of each league.

Now navigate to the league and "Add New Division".

If there is a format you want to use that is not list, then please contact us via support. 

Having created the division, you now need to add players.

Add each player to the league, then drag each player to the correct division. Alternatively, you can move people between divisions using the drop down button to the right of the player name.

Once you have created the league, the divisions and added players to each one and ready, navigate to the league summary and click on "Start League".

Starting the league will send an email to all players in each division. It will confirm the date by which the matches should be played and will include a link to the public web page that they can view the current league positions.

The email will look something like:
