New Standings Page 

We've implemented a new standings page based on user feedback and persistent issues with bugs on prior standings page. The goal in implementing a new standings page was to make it easier for users the building standings by allowing the ability to filter groupings, so that the information displayed in both accurate and accounts for various types of competitions structures (overall, stage/pool, conferences and divisions) are displaying accurate standings information.

Standings Configurations

There are 5 fields in standings configuration which influence how standings would be able to group after build. 

• Build type (OVERALL, ROUND) In current implementation 
• Build type ROUND is not supported.
• Build Conferences (Yes, No)
• Build Divisions (Yes, No)
• Grouping (None, Stage, Stage & Pool) 
• Build overall (Yes, No)

How to Build Standings

Before Building the Standings, you will need to make sure that the Season has been created and the Team, Fixture, and Standings Configuration have been added to that Season.

To assist with these processes, please read  Manage Seasons - Seasons, Manage Seasons - Teams, Manage Seasons - Fixtures, and Manage Organization - Standings Configuration. 

Also, you will need to check the Standings Configuration you have applied to the Season and make sure it is correct as per the Standings Table you want to display.

2. Use the filters to find a historic or upcoming Season as you wish

3. Select the Standings tab on the Season Dashboard 

4. Click the Build Standings button to build your Standings

**You will need to select this button to build your standings each time a round of fixtures has been played ** 

Standings Grouping

Based on standing configuration you will be able to select grouping for display standings. 

• There are two drop downs that control grouping options: Grouping Stage & Pool. 

• Based on field Grouping in Standings Configuration. 

• In case when None selected in configuration this control element will not be displayed. 

Grouping by STAGE allow you to view standings table for selected stage. 

Grouping by STAGE & POOL will display standings tables for each pool within the selected stage.

Grouping by Conf & Division 

Based on fields Build Conferences, Build Divisions in standing configuration. 

In case when no selected for both of this fields - control element will not be displayed.

Grouping by CONFERENCE allow you to view standings table for selected conference.

Grouping by DIVISION will display standings tables for each pool within the selected conference.

Grouping OVERALL. When all grouping selectors set to OVERALL you will see standings table with no grouping.

In current implementation CMAN does not support both Grouping Stage & Pool and Grouping Conf & Div. One of this controls always will be selected as OVERALL

Standing table columns

By default standings table has 16 preselected fields, but you able to select fields you need in columns control

There are 63 fields you can choose. For current implementation it will be reset after page reload

Final Standings Page

Prior to this release the Standings Page and Final Standings Page were displaying the same information which was incorrect. The page has since been updated to ensure that the FInal Standings ladder displays the order of teams in a season based on number of points.  On this page you be able to see all teams season have.

Final Standings Page (Edit Mode)

On the Final Standings page, you can edit standings columns using the Edit Mode functionality. Using Edit user have ability to specify Result Place, Points and Prize money for each team

Updated Season Official and Season Managers

Prior to this release, the Season Managers & Season Officials tabs within a season were providing the same information, making season roles redundant. Rather than keep both tabs, we added all Season Manager roles into the Season Officials tab, making all roles accessible via the Season Officials tab within a season. 

Once Season Managers and Season Officials were merged; the Season Officials and Assign Officials pages were refactored to improve overall performance.

Season Officials Page improvements (Filter, Sort and Bulk Edit Mode)
