Team Events

Team event is a special type of competition. Although IJF rules are clear there are national differences. For example it is not necessary to have a competitor for a certain weight class. If both teams miss a competitor in the same weight class the match result is a draw, hiki-wake.

Instructions for team events:

Make up a name for your event. We use here “TeamCompetition”.

Create a new tournament. While Tournament dialog is open click Categories/Properties.

Make a new category whose Age text is “TeamCompetition”. Fill in the weight categories you want to use. Highest age is 1.

Basically this is enough to run a tournament. JudoTimer shows reasonable information about the competing clubs and the ongoing weight class. However, JudoInfo does'n look good. You can define who is really Chikara's competitor in weight class -66 kg. To do so you need a team. It is easy to initialize by double clicking the team event category and selecting Create default members:

You can leave it as is or edit the names. Club, Category, and Reg. Category must be left untouched! Try JudoTimer and JudoInfo to figure out what kind of texts look the best. Also start new matches and check the JudoTimer display.

JudoTimer has a new option Hikiwake. This is for occasions when two teams do not have a competitor in the same weight class.

You can see all the matches of a category by clicking Matches under the sheet (scroll down) after creating results with statistics.
