Results and prints

The last stage of a competition is turning what was shot into a result: medals against names, a final classification, and the paperwork that goes on the noticeboard and into the archive.

Medals

Section titled “Medals”

The Medals tab holds one league at a time, in three sections — individual, team and mixed team — each listing gold, silver and bronze with who took them and where the result came from.

The Medals tab of a finished competition in Velos, with Clear all medals and Auto-award medals buttons at the top and a league dropdown reading RECURVE MEN. An Individual Medals section marked 3/3 lists a table of Medal, Athlete and Source: Gold to Tyler Nash of Pennsylvania State University, Silver to Sean Doyle of the same club and Bronze to Matthew Foster of Lakeside Archers, each tagged Qualification and each with a Revoke link. Below it Team Medals 0/3 and Mixed Medals 0/3, the latter noted as shared with RECURVE WOMEN, both reading No medals awarded yet above an Auto-award from standings button.The Medals tab of a finished competition in Velos, with Clear all medals and Auto-award medals buttons at the top and a league dropdown reading RECURVE MEN.

One league's medals. The tag against each says where the result came from — these were taken off the final qualification standings.

Medals arrive one of three ways.

  • Automatically, from a match. When a gold or bronze match finishes, its medals are awarded there and then. This is the normal path for a competition with eliminations.
  • From the standings. For a league that stops at qualification, Auto-award from standings takes the top three off its final ranking. Auto-award medals… does the same across every league at once, and shows you what it is about to award before it does. Leagues running eliminations are listed but locked — their medals come from the bracket.
  • By hand. + Award Medal records one, for the cases the automatic paths cannot know about. Revoke takes one back.

A league’s medals only open once its qualification has been finalized. Until then the tab says so and points you at the Leagues tab to close it.

Provisional medals

Section titled “Provisional medals”

A medal awarded automatically is marked Provisional until the match that decided it has been checked against the paper scorecard. Open that match in Score Entry and Validate it, and the medal is final. Anything still showing Provisional when you publish is a medal nobody has verified.

Closing the competition

Section titled “Closing the competition”

There is no separate publish step: a competition is finished when every league is. Close each league as its work ends — Mark complete on the Leagues tab — and the competition’s own stage follows to Completed once they all are.

Mark Completed, on the Overview, forces the whole competition closed in one go, including any league still in progress. Keep it for the end of a day that has run out of road, not as the normal way to finish.

Prints

Section titled “Prints”

Prints is the paperwork. Every document a competition can produce is here, grouped by the stage of the event it belongs to.

The Prints tab of a competition in Velos, headed Reports & Prints. A scope bar offers a League and a Shift filter, and a row of league chips sits under it. Documents are grouped into four stage cards — Elimination marked as the current stage with 7 documents, Setup with 6, Qualification with 4 and Awards with 4 — and each document shows a state of Ready, Partial or Locked next to a Print button.The Prints tab of a competition in Velos, headed Reports & Prints.

Documents are grouped into four stage cards — Elimination marked as the current stage with 7 documents, Setup with 6, Qualification with 4 and Awards with 4 — and each document shows a state of Ready, Partial or Locked next to a Print button.

The four stages match the run of the event:

  • Setup — the lists and assignments you need before shooting: leagues, athletes, teams, team entries, target assignments and match cards.
  • Qualification — the scorecards to hand out, and the qualification results that come back from them, individual, team and mixed team.
  • Elimination — bracket sheets, per-match scorecards for each bow style, and the elimination results.
  • Awards — the medal lists and a competition summary.

Every document carries its own state, so you can see what is worth printing:

  • Ready — everything it needs exists.
  • Partial — it will print, but not everything is in yet.
  • Locked — it needs something that has not happened, and it says what.

Scope once, print anything

Section titled “Scope once, print anything”

The scope bar at the top applies to everything below it, rather than being asked for document by document. Set the league, and optionally the shift, and every document inherits it.

The scope bar now reads RECURVE MEN, and a card for that league appears with its bow type, 35 athletes and its phase, a Print RM packet button counting 17 documents, and a rail of stages — Setup current, then Qualification, Elimination and Awards each showing a padlock. The Setup documents below now carry a League · RM tag.The same Prints tab in Velos after choosing a league.

Picking a league scopes every document to it, and offers its whole packet as one print.

Choosing a league also unlocks two shortcuts:

  • Print <league> packet prints everything that league currently needs, in one go — the fastest way to get a category’s papers onto the field.
  • Field packet does the same for the whole competition.

Documents open as PDFs, ready to print or to send on.

Final classification

Section titled “Final classification”

There is no separate results screen: the final classification of a league is its printed result. Print Individual Elimination Results for a league that ran a bracket, or Individual Qualification Results for one that did not, with team and mixed team versions of each.

By default, archers eliminated in the same round share the same final place, as World Archery intends. Some federations instead require every archer to be given a distinct place, ties broken by qualification seeding, and print their results that way.

Records

Section titled “Records”

Where a competition is marked as an Official Event, the scores shot in it are checked against your federation, club or academy’s records. New ones show on the competition’s Records tab, in the More menu, and in Archery → Records. A competition that is not marked official is invisible to the record book — which is exactly what you want for a club night.

Showing results on a screen

Section titled “Showing results on a screen”

A competition can drive a public display — a scoreboard for the venue, or an overlay for a stream — from a Graphics controller reached from the button at the top of the competition. It has its own scenes for standings, brackets and live matches.

That’s the run

Section titled “That’s the run”

You have taken a competition from an empty form to a published result. If you came here in order, the rest of the story is the people in it: Clubs for rosters and transfers, Training for what happens between events, and Performance for what the numbers say over a season.
