Orion's "Tournament Grouping Functions" allows users to create competitions involving more than one match. In a Tournament the scores athletes or teams shoot, from multiple matches, seamlessly get added together and ranked.
Tournament Grouping Functions have a number of use cases. For example:
•Running a two day competition, where the winner of the competition is the athlete or team who has the highest score over both days.
•Running a NCAA competition, where the winner of the team match is the sum of a team's smallbore score and their air rifle score.
•Running a multiple-week league, where the winner of the league is the team with the highest average.
Tournament Grouping Functions work from Orion's cloud based Result Center, are easy to use, and available to all Orion for Club customers.
•The most current version of Orion (Currently Version 2.21.3.2).
•Internet access.
•Result Center must be enabled for your account.
