Ladder NumberAutomatically assigned to the ladder within the grade/season - 1,2,3 etc
Filter matches in ladder by match formats

By default, ALL Formats is selected. If other match formats have been defined, by choosing the SELECT Formats.. option, one or more formats can be chosen. This has the effect of filtering the current ladder by only including matches of those match formats. All calculations for that ladder, including matches played, wins, losses, percentage etc will reflect this filtering.

Info

Only displays if an AUTOMATIC calculation method is selected below.


Ladder Points Scheme

A Ladder Points Scheme defines how points are awarded to teams and what formula and criteria are used.

Select a Points scheme to apply to this ladder, that is used to automatically calculate total points. A scheme must be selected if the ladder is AUTO calculated.

Changing the ladder points scheme will also change this for all other ladders within the current grade and season, as all must use the same Points scheme (i.e. a match must be worth the same points irresepctive of the ladder it is included in, not allowing for ladder adjustments appliable to each individual ladder).

The Ladder Points Scheme Management link can be clicked to open the Ladder Points Scheme Management screen.

Info

Only displays if an AUTOMATIC calculation method is selected below.

Ladder Display Scheme

A Ladder Display Scheme defines how ladders are displayed and in what order.

If no scheme is selected, defaults will be used (only summary information such as wins, losses points etc. will be displayed, and no percentage scheme or finals teams will be set).

The Ladder Display Scheme Management link can be clicked to open the  Ladder Display Scheme Management screen.

 

Pool Group

If pools have been set up for this grade/season (via the Pools tab), they can be assigned to the ladder by selecting from the dropdown list. This will display the ladder broken up into pools, as defined in the pool group.

Ladder Calculation Method

Either AUTO - every day overnight or MANUAL - per administrator's activation

    • AUTOMATIC methods.
      Ladders are automatically calculated based on the Ladder Points Scheme selected (and if applicable) percentage method selected in the Ladder Display Scheme. Ladder adjustments can be entered against a ladder to adjust various aspects of the ladder data (e.g. points, percentage).
      1. AUTO OVERNIGHT - Ladders are automatically fully calculated according to the rules* below once per day (usually overnight). All teams in the ladder are recalculated.
      2. AUTO REALTIME - Ladders are automatically partially calculated according to the rules* below approximately 10 minutes after match scores are entered or updated. Only the teams playing in updated matches are recalculated. Ladders are also fully recalculated overnight as well if the REALTIME option is selected.
      3. AUTO ONDEMAND - Ladders are only fully recalculated according to the rules* below when the Recalc AUTO ladder option is chosen from the Ladder Manager. Therefore, ladders from previous seasons can be recalculated in this way provided the season is not locked for the grade.

         

          *Rules (applies 1,2 above only) 
          The date of the last match of the grade/season is no more than one month ago (this prevents previous seasons ladders from being automatically recalculated even if their season is not locked)
          • A 'final' result is entered for a match ('in progress' results are not included)
          • The season is not locked for the grade
          • The fixture is not a 'knockout' type.

A recalculation can be forced at any time - see Other actions below.

    • MANUAL points entry
      All ladder data is manually entered and updated - see Other actions below.


Sort orderThis controls the order in which ladders display on public sites within the grade/season.
Visible on public sitesThis controls whether the ladder is visible on public sites. If unchecked, the ladder will not be visible.

Deleting ladders

Image RemovedImage Added

Click the Delete icon of the ladder you wish to delete.

The ladder and all points (whether automatically calculated or manually entered) will be deleted and the ladder will not display on public sites.

If only one ladder remains within a grade/season, this cannot be deleted, however it can be made 'not visible' to hide from public site display.

Ladders that have had ladder adjustments entered cannot be deleted. In this case, the adjustments must first be deleted.

titleCopy Ladder

Ladders can be copied in bulk from one season to another.

 

Image RemovedImage Added

Typically ladders are copied when allocating teams to the new grade/season. However, if this is not done at that point, then ladders can be copied here.

Info

Rules for copying ladders:

  • Teams must already have been allocated in the grade/season you wish to copy the ladder(s) to (the 'target' season).
  • Ladders will not be copied where they already exist in the target season.
  • Where pools are in use, attempts will be made to copy this information as well, however any teams that are different between the source and target will not be added to pools.
  • Any copied ladders will be set to 'not visible'. These new ladders must be reviewed, and the visibility enabled accordingly. See Add/Edit Ladder above - Visible on public sites field.

 

To copy ladders:

  • Select the season to copy from. All ladders in all grades for the season will be displayed.
  • Check the boxes of the ladder(s) you wish to copy from.
  • Select the season to copy to.
  • Click the Copy Selected Ladders button.
  • The results for each ladder will be displayed, i.e whether each copy succeeded or failed, with reasons.
