Circuits & Rankings
The Circuit feature lets you organize tournaments with seasons, regions and tiers, and is available with all plans starting with the Pro one.
Firstly, head into your Project, and open the Circuit menu. You will be able to create a new circuit, and will be asked for its name.
Once created, you will be able to edit the Circuit information, to add a description and logo via the Settings > Circuit item. You will see alongside this the Seasons, Regions and Tiers items, that let you create the respective classificiations in your circuit.
Tournaments can then be created directly in the circuit, or associated with the circuit; if they belong to the same project, and are not part of a circuit yet. Multiple circuits can be created within a project, but a tournament may only be part of a single circuit. When adding a tournament to the circuit, you can edit its classification to assign a Season, Region and/or Tier to it. This can be modified at any point.
Finally, the Circuit can be linked to a website to display its information, and its tournaments' details, on the website. To do so, simply edit the Website settings to link the right circuit to it.
Circuit rankings
You can also create Rankings within a Circuit, that will calculate poinst earned by participants across several tournaments. Give it a name, and select which discipline and participant type it applies to. It is important to note that team-based rankings are only populated with teams that have been created on the platform by participants before registering, and not short-lived teams created only for a tournament. The same goes for single players, who need to have a valid platform account to be accounted for.
You may then select the Season and/or Region this ranking is for (or have it be for all of them).
Finally, create the points scale to be used to distribute points to participants depending on their standing at the end of each tournament that is part of the Season/Region you selected. You can create separate points scales for the different tiers of your circuit, so that tournaments are worth more or less points depending on your rules.
The points scales are to be written under the form:
1=100
2=80
3-5=50
In this example, the 1st place of a tournament earns 100 points, the 2nd place earns 80 points and the 3rd to 5th place earn 50 points each towards the ranking.
