Setting Up Bracket Options

Setting Up Bracket Options

1. Title of the Bracket Set:
   • Change the title to something that clearly describes the type of bracket, making it easier to identify.
2. Games Used in the Bracket:
   • Choose which games will be used for this bracket set and set the order. You can even create "reverse" brackets by starting with Game 3 and ending with Game 1.
3. Scratch or Handicap Brackets:
   • Decide whether the bracket winners are determined by scratch scores (actual scores) or handicap scores.
4. Tie-Breaking Rule:
   • Select the rule for resolving ties. You can refer to the HELP file for details on how to override this option if needed.
5. Limiting Brackets:
   • You can limit the number of brackets available in each set and restrict how many brackets a bowler can enter. Set these limits as appropriate for your league.
6. Byes:
   • If there aren’t enough bowlers to fill a bracket, a bye occurs. Indicate whether byes are allowed for this bracket set.
7. Additional Qualification Options:
   • Configure brackets based on age, average, or other criteria. Options include:
     • Minimum/maximum age
     • Minimum/maximum average
     • Adults only, kids only, or both
     • Separate by gender
     • Restrict to a single division if divisions are set up
