Manual Cut Lines provide unparalleled flexibility for tournament managers in handling multi-round events with cut lines. The Manual Cut Lines with Bulk Changes introduces a new cut adjustment option, enabling managers to manually override the automated cut line, when the round is marked as "Completed."
For example, multi-round tournaments utilize cut lines to narrow the field, ensuring only top performers advance. However, certain situations demand a more nuanced approach:
Playoff Scenarios: Deciding who advances based on playoffs.
Multi-Cut Criteria (Equity for Participants): Ensuring representation across diverse skill levels, the Adaptive Open exemplifies the need for flexible cut line management. To guarantee all impairment categories are represented in the final round with a realistic chance of winning, the competition is structured with two cut criteria:
Overall Tournament Cut (R2): Top 10-20 golfers + ties.
Impairment Category Cut (R2): Top 2-3 golfers + any golfer within five shots of the leader in their category.
The Manual Cut Lines feature allows you to manually mark golfers as having made or not made the cut, accommodating such intricate scenarios and ensuring fairness and accurate categorization of players eligible for upcoming rounds. Further, the leaderboard dynamically updates to reflect these manual adjustments and seamlessly integrates with subsequent rounds.
In this article, we will discuss how to set up manual cut lines and make changes to the leaderboard.
Cut Line Setup
To set up a cut line with the optional manual adjustment, follow these directions:
Navigate to the event/league.
Go to Event/League > Multi-Round Tournament.
Click "Add New Multi-Round Tournament."
Enter the details for your tournament.
In the "Advanced Option" section, click "Cut Lines & Sections."
Click "New Cut Line."
If you want to set up a traditional cut, you can fill in the details. For example, if you have a cut line for the top 20 players, plus ties, fill in the cut for the low 20 plus ties.
In the Section "Cut Line Adjustments," select the option to "Tournament Manager may manually adjust the cut line before all rounds are completed" (as shown below).
Click "Continue."
Click "Save" to save the tournament.
Notes:
Manual adjustments are automatically cleared when transitioning a round to "Not Started."
When manually re-scoring a leaderboard with manual adjustments, the changes persist.
A tournament can have both manual cut adjustments and regular adjustments. However, regular adjustments “lock” the leaderboard from manual adjustment while it is "In Progress."
Manual Cut Adjustments on the Leaderboard
To make a manual cut adjustment on the leaderboard, follow these directions:
Within your event/league, navigate to Round.
Set the round status to "Completed."
Navigate to Rounds > Display Leaderboard.
Click "Re-Score / Print / Adjust Leaderboard / TV Display."
Click "Adjust Leaderboard."
Select the player who made the "Cut" that is below the cut line, and click "Made Cut" (as shown below).
If you have a player who should not make the cut, select those player and click "Did Not Make Cut"
Click "Done Adjusting," and the adjustments will be made to the leaderboard.
