👉 The swimming season. Follow the bread crumbs to set the date... Tools ➡ Options ➡ Club ➡ Season Starts. 👉 The current session date. Some of your club members will change their age mid season. This may effect what division they fall into when swimming the session. If you aren't using divisions, then from start of season would be acceptable. You must decide. Calculate the leader board score as of the ... This option has been disabled. Scoring will only be done for the current selected session. Future versions will allow for an accumulative score across multi-sessions. This would be useful if you wanted to know who were this years club champions for each division. Or overall best performer. Details you might like to know when handing out swimming ribbons at your awards night. Find the entrant's placing for ... 👉 The heat. For each heat, the swimmer is placed and scored. 👉 The event. After all the heats in the event have been swum, SCM lists each swimmer, fastest to slowest. Then based on their place within this list, they and scored. Placement is calculated ... 👉 Absolute A swimmer is placed as ordered in the race (be it the heat or the event). 👉 Relative (overall position within the division) With the close of the event, swimmers are sorted and ordered into separate lists for each division.

The setup might appear complex a first. Clubs don't all score championship in the same way. The above schema give you the flexibility to chose a method that is best suited to your club.
(DEVELOPER: This layout is horrible - in future releases expect
changes.)
The first 32 places can be given a score. The logic behind this madness goes a bit like this.. If the settings are EVENT - ABSOLUTE or EVENT - RELATIVE In an event that has 4 heats with 8 swimmers, with this crazy number of editboxes, it's possible to give everyone points. Most school carnivals like to give all participants a point or two. It makes the leaderboard light-up. If the settings are HEAT - ABSOLUTE or HEAT - RELATIVE You only need values for the first eight places (assuming your pool has eight lanes.) If you want more than 32 places to assign points, then pop into the database and append additional records. (WARNING: Experience needed.) Tenths of a point are allowed. Using tenths can make for better competition. Leave the field empty (00.0) for a place to be unscored. The last thing to mention is Unplaced points ... here we can assign a value to the swimmers who came 33rd or greater. (I don't believe I typed that.) This option is disabled. Currently these swimmers are scored zero. In future version of SCM you will be able to edit it and you will also be given an option to set the cut-off point for swimmer placement. |
A division is an age range for a given gender. Ages are inclusive.
The
Age From value must be less or equal
to the Age To value.
Divisions are used when the score setup is RELATIVE. You may have division that form INTERSECTIONS and INCLUSIONS. An example
A .. Girl's 8 years (8-8) Both A and B are a subsets of C. (Division C holds the 'grand finalists' for the under 12 girl's.) Members in this example will be scored twice. this will be delineated in reports, as each member's scores will be described within the division that derived the score. The power of divisions are - you can mix everybody into an event, without consideration to age or gender, and out spits all the correct placing and scoring. Magic. |

Pressing Update will refresh the leaderboard display.
What the leaderboard displays is determined by your setting in the preceding tabsheets (wit. SetUp, Score and Division).
IMPORTANT : Only events that are CLOSED are scored.
WARNING : Dead heats are score incorrectly. In future versions of SCM this will be fixed.
NOTE: the description text in the top header that describes the setup that produced the display.
To print the leaderboard go to the report tabsheet. A re-calculation (or data refresh) is always done prior to printing.
The Reports build by the core application are for diagnostics.
