Now
let's record the match results from your tournament
drawsheet.
Click the Edit
Match Results for this Bracket... link
on the Bracket
List page. This opens the Match Editor page:
You record matches
by rounds starting with Round 1.
Make sure the Match Length is set correctly for each round.
Select
the loser name from the drop-down list next to each winner
name. If a player has a "bye" leave
the result blank. When all matches
are recorded, click the Save
Round 1 - Start Round 2 button. Continue for each round:
As you add rounds,
the results for previous rounds are clearly shown. If you notice
a mistake in an earlier round, click the column header link
to change the results for that round. Just be sure to save
each
round
after editing.
Note: The program
will prevent you from entering invalid match results (not to
be confused with erroneous results). For example, a player
cannot play himself, win or lose twice in the same round, etc.
If an invalid result is detected, you'll be prompted to
fix
it
before the round can be saved.
If you are recording
a swiss bracket, it may be more convenient to sort the bracket
list by player name instead of number. To do this click the
Player column
sort link. To go back to bracket list order click the # column
sort link.
What about
"byes"?
A "bye" on
the drawsheet is just a place marker, there is no opponent,
no match played,
and no data of any consequence for the database. A player with
a bye merely advances to the next round. If a player has a "bye" leave
his
result blank for that round.
Very
Important! Do not arbitrarily create bogus players to use
as place markers
for byes in the bracket results. This just screws up the ratings
calculations, and makes a mess of the database!
Finishing
up....
When matches are recorded
and you've double checked the bracket results against the drawsheet,
click the Finished With Match Results button. This
will take you back to the Event Editor:
If there
are other brackets (2nd chance, finals, etc.) for this event,
add them now. If not, you're ready to update the final standings
and master points for this event.
