Aggregates

Setting up Aggregate Scoring

Do you want myStage to automatically work out aggregate (overall) results for your competition? An aggregate adds up the points each competitor, or each club/school, earns from their places across a group of sections.

There are just a couple of things you need to do.

Create the aggregate

1. Go to the administration screen and click Reference Data.
2. Under Event & Competition, click Aggregates.
3. Click Create.

1. Enter a Name for the aggregate.

2. Choose which sections are included. A section is included when it matches every option you select:

   • Discipline
   • Age
   • Age Group
   • Division
   • Performance Type

   Leave an option on "--- Select ---" to include all values.

3. To total the points for each club or school instead of each competitor, tick Group by club/school not competitor.

4. Under Points per place, enter the points each place is worth. If you leave a place blank, the place's standard points are used.
5. Save the aggregate.

Exclusions

You can use registration data to leave some entries out of an aggregate, for example competitors who have said they don't want to be included.

1. When editing the aggregate, click Add Exclusion.
2. Choose the registration data, then choose the value.
3. Tick Equals to exclude entries that have this value. Leave it unticked to exclude entries that do not have this value.

Excluded competitors are still listed on the aggregate, marked "* Excluded from Aggregate", but they are not given a place.

Tip

To leave a whole split out of aggregates, tick Exclude from Aggregates on the split in Reference Data > Splits.

How points are calculated

As each section's results are entered and saved, the aggregate is updated automatically.

• Only a competitor's (or club's) best place in each section counts.
• For duo, trio and group entries, every competitor on the entry receives the points for that place.
• When grouping by club/school, the club/school on the entry is used. Only the best-placed entry for each club/school in a section counts.
• Places are given in order of total points. Competitors with the same total share the same place.
• The number of places awarded is set by Places awarded in aggregates under Results in System Configuration (on the administration screen). If this is not set, 2 places are awarded.

Viewing aggregate results

1. Click Aggregates in the top menu.
2. Click the aggregate you want to see.

The aggregate shows each competitor (or club/school), their points from each section, their total score and position.

The Sections in Aggregate list shows which sections were included.

• Click Recalculate to update the aggregate straight away. While it is updating, "Results are being recalculated…" is shown.
• Click Release Results when you are ready to publish the aggregate results.
• Click Copy for Facebook to copy the results so you can paste them into a post.

Note

If the aggregate does not seem to be updating after a section result has been saved, check that the section's discipline (and any other options used by the aggregate, such as age group and division) is set. To set the discipline, view the section and click Edit, choose the Discipline, then save.
