Setup age categories

Top  Previous  Next

 

 

Depending on the licence, TaekoPlan is installed for WTF or ITF rules.

Standard age categories are made.

These can be altered for each tournament.

You can remove categories or give them a different name.

During the tournament, once tournament participants are entered, the categories can no longer be removed.

 

For each age category, different age limits can be entered for women and men.
These can be either years or ages (so 1995 or 8 for example).
When entering the competitors, a check is made in which age category a competitor participates.

To use this feature, a date of birth must be entered.

 

You can also select if the age category works with length or weight classifications.

This can be selected in the column: type.

 

if you use TPSS for your tournament, you have to check the Internet box for each age category that will be visible and selectable on TPSS.

 

The abbreviation will be used in the shortcuts for a weightclass, for example Sen-M -74

 

You may NOT use duplicate abbreviations in the list, so each age category should be uniquely identified.

 

For poomsae the module looks a little bit different:

 

 

 

 

Upto the female age columns it is the same as for Kyorugi.

Please check the Internet checkbox if you want this age category to be visible on TPSS.

 

The type decides the way in which competitors participate in a poomsae competition.

You can select Sexe of Comb, where Sexe means male or female.

A combined age category can hold male and female competitors.

So if you have a Pair competition, you can select the if pair should consist of 2 male or 2 female (by choosing Sexe), or one male and one female (by selecting Comb.).

The same applies for Team competition.

If you use TPSS, this will also be available.

 

The column Internet enables you to select what kind of poomsae competition it is.

 

 

Ind

Individual

Pair

Pair (2 persons)

Team

Team (3 persons)

Free Ind

Freestyle individual

Free pair

Freestyle pair (2 persons)

Free Team

Freestyle Mixed team (5 persons)

 

This is important, as it will limit the choices when selecting for instance poomsae pair or team or....
This setting should be defined as it is used during competitor entry in TaekoPlan and also on TPSS.
It limits the no. of age categories that can be selected.

 

The last column Comp type is the way the category is handled.

 

You can select:

 

Standard: normal cut-off system

Elimination: combination of cut-off and elimination starting at quarter finals

Elimination: full elimination system starting from the first round.
