Reganerating Draws
If for any reason a draw needs to be started from scratch, the Recycyle Icon will reset the draw to it’s initial state.
Player Representatives
The PLayer Icon launches a dialogue for identifying players who witness draw creation.
Player representatives will appear at the bottom of PDF printouts of each draw.
Player Draw Order
If a draw has not been completed (all players placed), then the PDF Icon generates a PDF of the player draw order, which is a table of players orderd by their ranking.
This list is used for Manual Draw Creation and will not be generated if draw generation is Automated.
Elimination Draws
If draw generation is Automated then all players are placed automatically and draws are ready for Scoring.
Swapping Positions, Alternates, Lucky Losers
Once a draw is complete, Context Clicking on a player presents available options.
If a seeded player is swapped with an unseeded player, or replaced by an alternate or lucky loser then seeding information is removed.
Manual Draw Creation
When draws are created manually, the 1st and 2nd seed are always placed automatically.
