How to use Dual Divisions
- Create an event as normal and check the Dual Division checkbox. The event code you give will be used for generating 3 events: the Inter-Division Finals Event, and each of the 2 Division Events. An event code of
dual
will result in an Inter-Division Finals Event with codedual_0
, and Division Eventsdual_1
anddual_2
. - Use the Inter-Division Finals Event to manage the divisions as a whole. If this is a League Tournament, then the next step is to import league data. This is the same process as a non-Dual Division event, but takes place in the Inter-Division Finals Event.
- Add the teams to the Inter-Division Finals Event, and then assign the teams to a division. You can assign manually, or use the random assignment button at the bottom.
- Once divisions have been assigned, go to each Division event and generate the match schedule as normal.
- Play through each division as if it were its own event. Once a winner for each division has been determined, return to the Inter-Division Finals Event Dashboard and select "Generate Inter-Division Finals". From there you will be presented with the winning teams and asked to assign them to Red and Blue Alliance (coin flip!). Then generate the finals.
- Then, use the Inter-Division Finals event to play the finals. Any display connected to the system for the Divisions will automatically redirect itself to show the Inter-Division Finals, but referees need to manually change events.
- Once a champion has been determined, use the Inter-Division Finals event for the Advancement Report. The Advancement Report will correctly follow Dual-Division advancement criteria.
Exporting Dual-Divisions
Divisions can be exported and played on different machines, and then imported to generate finals. Use the "Export Divisions" button on the dashboard after assigning teams to download the files. There will be two. It is possible that Chrome blocks the second one as a popup, so disable pop-up blocking and try again. Take these files and import them into other copies of the server on different machines using the Server Management Data Import feature. When the division is complete, download its archive, and use the Generate Inter-Division Finals page to import the division archive. NOTE: Running all divisions with one server is still the recommended way to run a Dual-Division event. Do NOT add teams to the event or change division assignments after exporting divisions!
