Record final places and tournament points

Use Tournament → Results to record the official final place and tournament points for every entry in each event. This is the final-outcome screen: Match results is the journal of completed matches, Standings controls group order and qualifier progression, and Activity shows whether players still have unfinished matches.

Before you start

Create the events and add every required entry. See Manage entries, doubles pairs, and seeding.
Check all required match results on Draws → Matches and correct any mistakes. See Record match results and monitor tournament progress.
Lock the official group standings and push the qualifiers into the playoff where required. See Lock standings and progress qualifiers to playoff.
Finish and check the playoff bracket before using it as the source of a complete final order. Fill from playoff can run earlier, but it will fill only places supported by winners already recorded.
Check the current Tournament points scheme in Tournament → Overview → Edit Tournament.

Navigate event results

Open Tournament → Results. The first event is selected initially. A direct link that contains a valid event selection opens that event instead; an invalid selection falls back to the first event.

Select an event tab to show only its entries, playoff draws, places, and points.
The number beside an event name is its entry count. No number is shown when the count is zero.
Use the left and right arrow controls when the event tabs do not fit across the page.

The table is sorted by place first and entry name second. Entries with a place appear before entries with No place. Each row shows Place, Points, the entry name, and its players.

There is no separate Save button. Changing Place or Points starts saving that value immediately.

Understand final-place values

Place offers three forms:

an exact place such as 1 or 2;
a shared range such as 3-4 or 5-8;
No place, when no official final place is stored for the entry.

For an event with N entries, the Exact group offers every value from 1 through N. The Group values follow bracket bands up to the next power-of-two size: 1-2, then 3-4, 5-8, 9-16, and further bands when required. For example, an event with five entries offers exact places 1 through 5 and ranges 1-2, 3-4, and 5-8.

The list of choices does not enforce a complete or internally consistent official order. Tabminton does not prevent duplicate exact places, overlapping ranges, missing places, or a combination that accounts for more or fewer entries than the event contains. Check the whole event yourself.

Assign a place manually

Use manual assignment for an event without a suitable playoff draw, for an official decision outside the bracket, or to correct an individual place.

Select the event on Tournament → Results.
In the entry’s Place field, select an exact place or range.
Check the reordered table and the Points value.

The place is saved immediately. The screen then looks for a matching rule in the current tournament-points scheme and separately saves that result. If the matching rule has no points, or no rule covers the selected place, the entry’s saved points are cleared.

Select No place to clear the place. This also starts a separate request to clear that entry’s points. Because the two values are saved separately, an error can leave one change saved without the other. Reopen Results and check both fields after any error.

Fill places from a playoff draw

Use Auto-fill from playoff when one playoff draw represents the final order you want to record.

Select the event on Tournament → Results.
Under Auto-fill from playoff, choose a specific draw from Select draw….
Select Fill from playoff.
Review every resulting place in the table.

This is a manual operation. Saving the final match result does not fill final places automatically, and there is no confirmation before Fill from playoff runs.

For the selected draw, the operation derives these places from saved winners:

the final winner receives 1;
the final loser receives 2;
semifinal losers receive 3-4;
quarterfinal losers receive 5-8;
losers at each earlier bracket level receive the next corresponding range.

A match without a winner is skipped. An automatic bye with no losing side also produces no loser place.

Only playoff draws from the active event appear in the selector. If the event contains several playoff draws, each is treated as a separate bracket: selecting another draw calculates places relative to that draw’s own final. Choose the draw that represents the official event result.

Understand Fill from playoff limits

Fill from playoff does not require a completed bracket. It fills every place that can already be inferred from recorded winners and skips the rest.

Existing places for skipped entries are not cleared.
Running the action again overwrites only entries for which the selected bracket currently produces a place.
A manual place is overwritten when that entry is found in the selected bracket.
Old manual or previously filled places can remain for entries that are no longer derived from that bracket.
The operation fills places only. It does not calculate or change tournament points.

After a partial or repeated fill, do not treat the visible table as a clean reconstruction of the bracket. Compare every row with the official result and clear or correct stale places manually.

Configure the tournament-points scheme

Open Tournament → Overview, select Edit Tournament, and find Tournament points.

Singles applies to MS and WS events.
Doubles applies to MD, WD, and XD events.
Each scheme contains exact places and place ranges, with a Points value for each rule.
Leave Points blank when that rule should not provide an automatic value.
Add group appends another range. The displayed range boundaries are fixed in this form.

Save the tournament settings to make the edited scheme current. Changing the scheme later does not recalculate points already saved on Results. Use Fill points, or edit the affected rows manually, when a revised scheme must be applied.

Calculate points from places

There are two separate automatic workflows.

Selecting a Place immediately tries to calculate points for that one entry. Fill points recalculates points for eligible entries across the active event.

To apply the current scheme to the event:

Select the event on Tournament → Results.
Check that the required places are present.
Select Fill points.
Review every Points value.

The button does not assign or change places. It considers only entries that already have a place. A rule matches when it fully covers the selected exact place or the entire selected range. For example, a 3-4 result is not covered by a rule that ends at 3.

When a matching rule contains a number, Fill points overwrites any saved manual value for that entry. When there is no covering rule, or the covering rule has a blank value, the entry is skipped and its existing points remain unchanged. This differs from choosing a new Place, which tries to save the calculated result for that row and clears its points when the result is blank.

Fill points saves entries one at a time. If an error stops the operation, earlier entries can remain updated while later entries are unchanged. Reopen Results, identify the last confirmed values, and run or correct the remaining work.

Edit points manually

Use the Points field when the official award differs from the scheme or no rule applies.

Enter a whole number of 0 or more. Negative values and fractions are not accepted.
Clear the field to remove the saved points.
Each change starts saving immediately.
In singles, the displayed value belongs to the one player.
In doubles, the displayed value is the total for the pair. Tabminton divides it equally between the two players.

An odd doubles total is allowed. For example, entering 101 displays 101 for the pair and records 50.5 for each player. Check whether fractional player points are permitted by the competition’s official rules before using an odd total.

Check results before publication

Review the final outcome event by event before publishing or preparing reports.

Select every event tab, including events with no entries.
Check every exact place and shared range.
Look for missing places, duplicate exact places, overlapping ranges, and stale values left by a partial fill.
Compare the places with the final bracket and any official decision made outside the bracket.
Check every points value against the current Singles or Doubles scheme and any approved manual exception.
For doubles, confirm that the displayed pair total produces the intended value for each player.

Final places and player event points are included in the tournament data used for publication. This chapter does not cover the publication action itself.

Fix common problems

No events are shown

The tournament has no events. Create them on Overview before recording results.

The selected event says No entries

Add the singles players or doubles pairs on Entries. Final places belong to event entries, not merely to registrations or draw positions.

Auto-fill from playoff is not shown

The active event has no playoff draw. Create the required playoff structure on Draws, or assign the official places manually.

Fill from playoff filled nothing

Check that you selected the intended draw and that its matches contain saved winners. An unplayed bracket and automatic byes without a losing side provide no loser places.

Only some places were filled

The bracket is incomplete, some matches have no winner, or some entries are not represented by a resolved losing side. Finish and check the bracket, then run Fill from playoff again. Review entries with previously saved places because they are not cleared when skipped.

An old manual place remains after another fill

The selected bracket did not derive a new place for that entry. Choose the correct place manually or select No place. A repeated fill does not clear unmatched entries.

Points were not calculated

Check that the entry has a place, that the active event uses the expected Singles or Doubles scheme, and that one nonblank rule fully covers the place or range. After changing tournament settings, return to Results and select Fill points; scheme changes do not recalculate saved points automatically.

Points differ between singles and doubles

The tournament has separate schemes. In addition, the doubles table shows the pair total while each player receives half. Check the event category and both schemes in Edit Tournament.

The final order contains duplicates or overlapping ranges

Correct the Place fields manually. The screen does not validate uniqueness, range overlap, completeness, or correspondence with the event’s entry count.

Before you continue

Open every event and verify that the final order is complete and conflict-free.
Compare playoff-derived places with the selected draw’s final and every earlier losing side.
Confirm all manual decisions and clear stale places.
Reapply and check the current tournament-points scheme where required.
Check doubles totals against the points intended for each player.
