Tournament
Tips: |
| Schedule: |
| The
game schedule is
probably the most
obvious concern
because it needs
to be coordinated
with the arena or
arenas where your
tournament is
going to be
played. It
is helpful to have
each game
identified with a
game number. |
| Web
Page: |
| If
you choose to load
your game results
and scoresheets to
the Internet, it
is helpful to have
an organized web
page that shows
both your schedule
and results.
These sample web
pages show various
ways of setting up
a tournament web
page: Granite
City Classic, Willmar
Girls, CIC
PeeWee A, CIC
Bantam A, MN
Selects, ND
State H.S. Tourney,
Bantam
A W. Regional,
Bantam
B W. Regional,
MN
Pee Wee A State.
Using RinkWriter
for uploading your
scoresheets to the
Internet is
optional.
You may need to
coordinate this
with your web
master. |
| PDF
File Names: |
| If
you are going to
save or print your
game scoresheets
as PDF files so
they can be saved
into your
archives, sent as
e-mail
attachments, or
uploaded to the
Internet, you will
want to establish
a unique name for
each game
scoresheet.
You should be able
to save (print)
each game to a PDF
file with almost
any name you
choose. If
you wish to keep
your scoresheets
for several years
and for various
tournaments, it is
helpful to
establish a
systematic set of
names. It is
helpful when the
name for each
scoresheet
contains
information that
refers to the
year, the tourney
or team, and to
the specific game
within the
tournament or
season. The
name of 7th game
of the 2008 Center
Ice Classic may
look something
like this: 08_cic_g7
or
cic_08_g7.
The
first format will
allow for sorting
you game
scoresheets by
year, tournament
and game
number. The
second format will
allow for sorting
by tournament,
year, and game
number. You
may choose any PDF
names that meet
your needs.
If you look at the
PDF names from the
2008
ND State H.S.
Tourney,
you will notice
that each PDF name
contains an
"e" or
"p"
referencing the
arena where the
game was being
played. If
you are working
with regular
season scoresheets
for a specific
team, you may wish
to name each game
with the team name
followed by the
year, month, and
day. You
will notice that
the naming
procedure with
this November 8,
2007, College
of St. Benedict
scoresheet. The .pdf
file name can be
found in the
URL. First,
the team is
identified, then
the year, month,
and date.
This allows for
sorting the
scoresheets by
team, year, month,
and
date.
You
may have also
noticed the
"_"
symbols within
each PDF
name. If you
upload a link to
the Internet and
it contains a
space, a
"%" sign
usually appears in
place of a blank
space.
Entering a
character such as
an "_"
prevents the
"%" from
being part of the
name visible to
the web surfer. |
| Computers
and Printers |
| If
more than one rink
is being used at
the same time, you
will need to set
up computers and
printers at each
of the
rinks. The
teams and rosters
can be entered
into one computer,
and from there all
of the data and
software can be
copied and pasted
into any number of
computers.
That procedure
will be described
in another section
of the
"Tournament
Tips". Click

handy way of
organizing,
storing, and
transporting your
computers and
printers. |
