Overview

An organisation can setup any number of awards whereby authorised users can enter votes for players which participate in each match. The system tallies these votes and presents a public 'ladder' and a round by round view.

Awards features

  • Awards are based on an individual season (ie they apply to matches played within the application grades for that season). Once the season is over, an award can be copied to the next season.
  • Awards may apply to all grades, or a selection of grades.
  • The votes may be 'combined' across the selected grades (i.e. votes earnt in different grades go towards one overall ladder), or there may be separate ladders for each grade under the same award name.
  • Flexible validation rules (eg number of votes entered, maximum, minimum votes) can be entered per award, and even per grade within an award.
  • The public reports can be disabled and enabled at any time - however the principle user of the organisation can always view.
  • For organisation that manage competitions, awards can be set up in both 'Competition Management' and 'Competition Participation' modes (i.e. depending from which Menu the Awards Management page is accessed from). The main differences are:
    • Competition Management mode : Votes entered for an award in can be for players of both competiting teams, and can optionally allow umpires/referees that are allocated to the match to enter votes.
    • Competition Participation mode: Votes entered for an award can only for only players from the organisation the created the award. For example, a club may set up an award for their own 'MVP' whereby only votes are awarded to their players in a given match.
  • Different user groups and the principle user can be given access to enter votes in accordance with these access rules:
    • The principle user may enter votes on behalf of themself or another voter, and edit or delete existing votes (even those entered by other users).
    • Other authorised admin users may enter votes on behalf of themself or another voter, and edit only those existing votes which they have previously entered.
    • If applicable, logged in umpires/referees may enter and edit votes for themself only. They cannot enter votes on behalf of another voter.
    • Note: Once the maximum number of 'Vote Entries*' for a particular match has been exceeded, no new entries can be made, and existing entries can be edited or deleted within the rules set above.
  • All voting is audited.

Awards management

To create a new award click the Add new award link. This will open the Award Edit screen where award details can be entered. Existing awards (if any) for the selected season are displayed in the table which displays:
  • Award Name
  • Status - i.e. whether the award can be viewed via the public websites
  • Grade List - the list of grades that apply to the award, with the number of 'Vote Entries*' for that grade
  • View link - a link to the public reports (ladder, round by round) for that award. The principle user will always be able to view by using this link, whereas any other user (or visitors to the public pages) will only be able to view if the public view status has ben enabled.
  • Edit link - a link to edit the award definition. This will open the Award Edit screen where award details can be modified.
  • Enter Votes link - access to enter votes in accordance with the access rules above.
  • Delete link - An award can be deleted only if there have been no votes entered against that award.
*Note - a 'Vote Entry' is a set of votes entered by a single voter for a given match. It may consist of votes for one, or more, players dependent of the configuration of that award.
