Handling Incomplete Brackets After Registration

Handling Incomplete Brackets After Registration

1. Go to Bracket Results:
   • Navigate to Main Menu > Brackets > Results.
2. Shuffle the Brackets:
   • Click on the Shuffle button. The shuffle status screen will show you how many full brackets you have and how many more players are needed to fill another bracket.
3. Decide How to Handle BYEs:
   • No BYEs Allowed: If you don’t want to use byes, select this option. Any incomplete brackets will result in refunds for the bowlers in those brackets.
   • Include BYEs to Fill One Extra Bracket: Select this option to use byes to complete just one additional bracket.
   • Fill [__] Brackets, Add BYEs as Needed: Choose this option if you want to specify the number of brackets to run. BYEs will be added with registered bowlers to fill all the brackets.
4. Assign Bowlers to Brackets:
   • Click Assign Bowlers to Brackets to start the shuffling process.
5. Optimize Competition:
   • BLS Pro and A/S programs use the S.S.F.L. (Single Stream Fair Line) shuffle system. This system reduces the chances of the same bowlers competing against each other multiple times, ensuring better competition across the brackets.
