Show top 8 tournaments in a season

[Smort78]

We have a season with 12 tournaments, but in the rankings only the top 8 tournaments of each player (based on points) should count.
Is there a way to set this up automaticly?

I would be surprised if the software would be able to do that.

In case it can't, you may be forced to export each ranked tourney into Excel and manage it that way.

What type of point ranking system are you using? I have been just awarding points based on the number of players in the tourney, then counting backward. i.e. 35 players, #1 gets 35 points, and the 35th player gets 1 point. I may however add a base amount of points to everyone's ranking as it is pretty lame to only get 1 point for playing in a tourney. Maybe I'll add 10 points to the base so they at least get more recognition for actually playing.

Hi,

You can achieve this by setting the 'Top X Tournament' value to 8.
- Manage Leaguse Tab
- Select league and/or season
- Click on pen to edit league (if you are using league parameters for all seasons) or to edit season
- Select "Default Settings tab"
- enter 8 in "Top X tournament":
- Save
- voilà!!

I typically run 70+ tournaments per season, but I only award points for 8 tournaments which I call the 'Main Event'. I am looking to do the same thing as mentioned in this thread. I want to only have the Top 6 of these 'Main Events' count for a final score.

If I follow your instructions, will this automatically know to only use the Top 6 of 8 Main Events? If not, is there another way for me to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Hi,

how do you distinguish "Main Events" from your regular tournaments?? Are they in a different grouping, season or league?

If your main events are under a "2020 - Main Event" season, and you set that season to TOP 6 tournaments, the system will only count best 6 tournaments for every player for the standings.

Let us know if this answers your question!

Thanks for your response.

I am currently in Season 3 which started October 1st and runs through December 31st. All tournaments after Oct. 1st are logged into Season 3.

Creating a Season for these is interesting, but I have already logged two of these 30 player tournaments into Season 3 so it would be a little bit of work to log these into a newly created Main Event Season.

I may just end up calculating this by hand somehow. I don't have prizes associated with the final rankings, but I do have a special tournament that the Top 16 players get to play in.

Thanks,

If you wish to create a new season, we can transfer your tournaments to the new season if this makes it easier for you.

Let us know

I will definitely take you up on that offer, thank you!

I created a new Season named, 'Season *****'

My league is '***' and within my '***' season, you will see two Main Event tournaments that can be moved over to this new season.

Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me.

Thanks!

Hi,

your 2 tournaments have been migrated to the new season.

Please note that if you had any of the following data for your tournaments, they are still on old season, as only the tournament itselft has been migrated to the new season (Most likely, this is not an issue):
- Awards
- Emails
- Finances
- ForumTopics
- InternalMessages
- Season Events (Event Schedule)

[Supersonics]

Awesome! I just checked it out and everything looks good. Great idea, thank you SO much.

I love using your virtual trophies so that is one thing that I'll need to update in this new Main Event season, but that's easy.

You guys have the best customer service.

Thanks,

Hi, you helped transfer over my 'Main Event' tournaments into a 'Main Event' league so the ranking points are separated out.

By chance would you be able to do that for my prior two seasons if I built break out season for only the Main Event tournaments in those seasons? If not, not a big deal, but I'm just thinking how great this would be to be able to look back and see this separately.

Thanks,
