How to use Dual Divisions

1. 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 code dual_0, and Division Events dual_1 and dual_2.
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.
3. 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.
4. Once divisions have been assigned, go to each Division event and generate the match schedule as normal.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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!

New This Release

• Account changes
  • Default passwords now have 3 digits instead of 2 for added security.
  • There are now default display accounts and the Display pages have been changed to use the Display permission. The eventadmin account has also been given the display permission, so users wishing to continue using eventadmin will be unaffected. Note: if you encounter any issues with the new display accounts, please revert to the eventadmin account.
  • Added inspector accounts (see below)
  • If you import an event into 0.7.0, the system attempts to create these new accounts, and also resets all previous accounts to the new default password under the scheme described above. However, there can be complications with this. If you encounter any errors logging in with a default account from an imported event, please manually re-generate or reset the account using the buttons on the Default Account page. This will fix the issue. Note: newly created events will work correctly.
• Inspection
  • The new inspector accounts (see above) can be used to inspect teams.
  • From the event home page, there are now inspection links for hardware and field. After selecting a team, the inspector is presented with the same form that is in the Game Manual and can run down the checklist. At the end, the inspector and student representative "sign" by entering their name and each hitting "Agree", and the inspector can add additional comments before passing or failing the team.
  • From the event home page there is now a link to "Judging & Inspection Status" that pulls up a table with each Team and their current status. This page then has links to "projector friendly" versions of the page which have no background and scale to full-screen.
  • We will be adding more documentation on how to use the inspection features soon.

New This Release

• Dual-Divisions
  • Divisions can now be exported and run on a separate server and the imported back to generate Inter-Division Finals. We still recommend running one server, but this may not always be possible based on physical event set up. See the note below on exporting divisions.
• Judging/Inspection Scheduling
  • From the dashboard, the "Create Judging/Inspection Schedule (Optional)" button now takes you to a page where you can generate a schedule. You can specify start and end times for different blocks in which Inspection and Judging will take place, the different types of activities (default are Judging, Robot Inspection, and Field Inspection) and the number of stations and time for each type of activity. We have some additional tweaks and enhancements for this which will be in next week's release.
• Changed the Randomization Display on the Audience and Field Display to match Figure D-2 from Game Manual Part 2
  • The scoretracker inputs remain the same and are still as viewed from the outside of the field.

Note on Release Schedule

Going forward, we are setting an official goal of having the weekly release up by 12pm Eastern on Thursdays, similar to the deadline for the Q&A forums. This week we are an hour late as we ran into some hiccups with testing and wanted to get it right before release. If for whatever reason we have to delay a release on a given week, we will post on the previous week's release with an update on the ETA. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion.
