This page allows Ladders Points Schemes to be set up and modified. Ladder Points schemes define how the ladder points of automically automatically calculated ladders are determined. Schemes are defined by the organisation managing the competition, and can be reused across any number of grades and seasons. In this way, 'standard' schemes can be defined which simplify the creation of ladders. Note that when configuring ladders, where there are more than one ladder defined within a grade/season, they all must use the same ladder points scheme. This essentially means that a match is worth the same points irresepctive irrespective of the ladder it is included in, not allowing for ladder adjustments appliable applicable to each individual ladder.

Editing a Ladder Points Scheme

Image Added

  • Click the Edit link of the Ladder Points Scheme you wish to edit.
  • Points Scheme Name - give a descriptive name, this will be used within the Ladder Configuration screen when selecting a Ladder Points scheme to apply
  • Automatically add bonus points to match points - if bonus points have been configured and entered (see below), then these bonus points are added to the ladder points which have been calculated based on the result type. The only time this would normally be unchecked where bonus points have been specified, is when using a ladder percentage within a Ladder Display Scheme that just relates to bonus points.
  • Points entry table: The table allows entry of points for:
    • Result types - e.g. whether a team won or lost. Items with a coloured background indicate that this result type has been disabled via the Competition Settings screen, and won't be available for selection when entering a match result. If the result type was disabled after the result type had been used in a match, you should still enter points for it.
    • Byes - if applicable for the fixture
    • Bonus points for various scores or milestones (if configured) - these are indicated with a coloured background as indicated within the table
  • Click the Update button to save changes, or click the Back to Ladder Points Scheme Management link to return to the main managment management screen.
Note: changing points where ladders are using the points scheme will affect the ladder the next time it is recalculated. To ensure that ladders from previous seasons do not get inadvertently recalculated when a scheme is changed, do one of the following:
  • As soon as the last match of a fixture is more than one month in the past, the ladder will not be recalculated overnight. However, the ladder can still be recalculated via the Ladder Management screen. If the grade/season is locked, this will also prevent this.
  • or, edit the ladder configuration of the previous season and change to MANUAL calcuation calculation mode.
  • or, create a new Ladder Points Scheme instead of editing and existing one.
