Click here on the date that you will use. This will be displayed on the screen.
Tournament enddate*
This date must also be in the format: dd-mm-yyyy
Referencedate for age*
This is the date which determines the proper age of the participant and therefore also the age category (i.e. junior or senior).
Number of available courts*
The number of courts where bouts can take place.
Number of fights rest*
This is the number of matches mandatory rest that a participant must have after the fighting of his/her fight. The standard setting is 1, but you can also increase that to, for example, 2 or 3.
Caution: if you change this to another rest level, discrepancies in the time planning can occur.
Finals starting at the same time (starting on the same competition number)
Here you indicate that all the finals will start on the same competition number. In practice, this rarely happens because the rings are never synchronized regarding time planning.
It is wise to leave this option on No.
Courts showing as numbers (1,2,...) or characters (A,B,...)
This defines the way in which the courtnumbers are being used. Your can either select as example 101,201,3,4 or you can select A01, B05 etc.
Fight times fixed (no realtime correction)
This option is important for the way in which the realtime fight schedule is being calculated. If set to yes, each end of fight will create new startimes for any fight coming after that specific fight,
If set to No, the times will not change, so you can use for instance 15 minutes as time.
Print jury forms.
You can choose if you want to print the jury forms or not. If you choose for No, then you will not be asked to print them. If you choose Yes, then the standard questions will be asked and the forms printed.
If you have connected the BudoScore Scoreboard to TaekoPlan, it's a good idea to choose No as the budoscore link automatically sends the results to TaekoPlan.
Print in background (no preview)
If you want to print jurypapers and you don't want to see them, just select Yes for this option. if you want to see each paper before it is printed, set the option to No.
Print selected report in the background (no preview)

Allow changes during weigh-in
If you select yes, then the referee at the weigh-in is allowed to change weight if requested. If set to No, any change should be made at the competition management table.
Print in background (no preview)
By selecting this option, you will not see any preview when printing. The output will be sent straight to your default printer.
