Tournament Results

Tournament results are normally added as new Pages with a type of UK Tournament Results or Foreign Tournament Results as appropriate. There will often also be a separate news Story with type of UK Tournament Report or Foreign Tournament Report.

The generation of the results cross-table is an automated process invoked by this page.

This will take an email address and a file on your machine, which should be the web file output from the godraw program, e.g. EastMidlands_11.web, convert it and mail back to the email address an email whose body is the converted file.

The Page should be created with an appropriate title such as "East Midlands Tournament Results". As well as the type field, enter the Tournament Name field and the Tournament Date in the fomat shown. If it lasts more than one day also enter the End Date.

Paste in the portion of the converted file from the email from below the skeleton date line to the end of the table. You can also add extra paragraphs of information about the event such as location, handicap system used or associated events.

If the event has many rounds you can narrow the width of the Country column by changing its title to "Cy" in order to reduce the width of the table.

Set the url of the page to be eg results/2011/eastmidlands

Add the new page to the results index for the year eg /results/2011 (access e.g. via Tournament Results tab, Year Lists). The link should be e.g. /results/2011/eastmidlands and is normally already there, commented out at the top of the page to allow easy cut and paste, for events that happened the previous year. This list should contain all UK and Ireland events where the results are available.

The winner should be recorded in the Tournament record itself. Accessed via Current title holders page and click on the previous year's winner.

If it is British Championship event then the /bchamp section will also need updating and possibly also the points tables in the /reps section.

If a youth event or young players have taken part, then the Junior Section may need updating - for a news item, the list of winners, or the Youth Grand Prix Points. Ensure the Junior Section editor is informed.
