Auto Generate Avoids

The Auto generate dialogue allows you to generate a set of avoid pairings based on a few standard criteria.

The left hand side of the dialogue allow you to define the criteria. The middle section of the dialogue provides buttons to allow you to create the avoid pairings. The right hand side of the dialogue displays all of the avoid pairings  that have been created.

To create a set of avoid parings, use the Reason drop down box at the top left of the screen. The criteria are:

• Surname
• School
• Club
• BCF Club
• BCF County
• BCF Union
• BCF Nation

When a criteria is selected, a list of the matching criteria are displayed in the Summary List (e.g. If you choose School and there are multiple players in the tournament from a schools, then  those schools will be listed in the Summary list. Each of the items in the Summary List will be ticked. If you don't want to include avoids for that summary level, un- tick that item in the Summary List. To generate the avoids for all the ticked items in the Summary List (without checking the details of the players) click on the 'Add Selected' button to the right Summary List after selecting the appropriate priority.

If you want to check the players effected for a particular summary item (e.g. school) select the an item in the Summary List. The list of players effected by the item in the Summary List will be displayed in the Detail List. Again all players in the Detail List will initially be ticked. To create pairing for all the players ticked in the Detail List, click on the 'Add Selected' button to the right of the Detail List, after selecting the priority. If you don't want to create avoids for some of the players un-tick them before clicking on the 'Add Selected' button.

If an avoid pairing is automatically generated for the same players for multiple reasons, the highest priority will be assigned.

If required the avoid can be manually updated in the avoid pairings list as required. To manually update the avoids just enter the player numbers for the avoid and the priority. See Avoid details dialogue for more details.

The 'Clear All' button will clear all the avoid pairings in the list.

The 'Remove' button will remove the selected avoid pairing from the list.

Validate Avoids will check for that avoids are complete and not duplicated.
