Mode: Competition Management Menu: Competition -> Grades -> Re-grade Team |
This page allows to upgrade or downgrade one team from the existing one to a different division after the season has started and matches played. Typically this occurs in competitions that allow re-grading to occur if a team is winning or losing to many matches. Re-grading can only occur during the Current Season.
Regrade can be used for the following main purposes:
- To copy played matches & ladder points of a team and get displayed in a TO grade ie. Simultaneously hide this team from ladder ordering of FROM grade
- To replace an existing team/byes in TO grade for the upcoming matches
- To be added as a new team for redrawing of TO grade
- To replace moving team with a Bye in FROM grade
- To fix team seedings for both FROM & TO grades
The follows are 03 major steps involved in re-grading procedures
Step 1 - Denominate team to regrade
- Start by selecting the grade that currently has a team in it that needs to be moved.
- This will populate the "Team to regrade" drop down box with all teams that are currently in that grade for the current season.
- Destination grade will be shown for selection
| Terms | Descriptions |
|---|
| Source grade | - Grade from where target team is currently with
|
| Team to regrade | - Target team for migrating purposes and process
|
| Destination grade | - Grade to which you would like to move the team that requires regrading
|
***It is crucial to review target team & associated grade thoroughly before clicking update since it's more complicated to reverse the action & requires manual manipulation
Step 2 - Decide on regrade options
With the overhaul, regrade options are pretty straight forward for selection and action upon. However, there are a few underlying business rules attached that may need attention and understanding when making decision
| Regrade options | Descriptions |
|---|
| Create as a new team in destination grade | - Add migrated team to new grade for redrawing purposes from rounds XXX.. ie. Rounds without scores entered
- Should be used if no bye or no team available for swapping grades in the upcoming matches
- Need to restart draw creator wizard to reflect the team change in fixture
- Seeding for teams will be auto adjusted in both destination & source grade
|
| Replace future byes (if any) in destination grade with migrated team | - Allow to slot migrated team in bye match for the upcoming time
- May not need to re-run draw creator
- Perfect in case bye is available for the upcoming matches
- Seeding for teams will be auto adjusted in source grade
|
| Replace an existing team in destination grade | - Allow to swap migrated team with a particular team in destination grade
- May not need to re-run draw creator
- Perfect in case moving out team is available for the upcoming matches
- Seeding for teams will be auto adjusted in source grade
|
| Copy played matches & ladder points into destination grade | - Duplicate a copy of played matches from source grade & display in destination grade
- This helps to recalculate ladder points for destination grade including match played by migrated team
- There might be a missing or surplus of matches played in case the timing of two grades involved is different ie. team may play more or less matches than those in destination grade
- This will at the same time hide the team from source grade's ladder display
- Seeding for teams will be auto adjusted in both destination & source grade
|
| Replace migrated team with Bye in the source grade | - Adjust the vacancy due to team migration with a bye match in case no team is coming in
|
***Match results & statistics are still actually in source grade
Step 3 - Confirm & review outcome
After making all selections through step 1 & 2, you hit Submit button & will see a success message as above image which lists out all underlying actions done by the system. You may want to open a new window for double checking on
