Help for world ranking officers

A world ranking officer looks after the world rankings of one or more sports. You have everything in the admin that any signed-in reader has: you can create a tournament, and manage or score the ones you are made a manager or scorer of, as tournament managers do. This page says only what you are given besides, on the list of tournaments at /admin and on the same list for another year at /admin/2025, /admin/2024 and so on.

Every tournament of your sports

Your list holds every tournament of the sports you look after, whoever runs it, as well as the tournaments you manage or score. That is more than you will want to read down, so the list can be narrowed, as described below.

The years you are offered are the years those tournaments start in, as well as the years of your own. Choose one of the tabs along the top, or Earlier years for the rest, and the list is that year's. /admin is this year.

Narrowing the list

Beside New Tournament are three buttons under the label Show:

• Manager/Scorer lists the tournaments you manage or score.
• World Ranking lists the tournaments with a competition that counts towards the world rankings.
• Not World Ranking lists the tournaments with none.

A button that is on has a tick. A tournament is listed when any button that applies to it is on, so each button adds tournaments to the list and none takes them away. Manager/Scorer and World Ranking are on to begin with and Not World Ranking is off, so you begin with the tournaments you run and the ones the rankings are made from, and press Not World Ranking to read the rest.

If you turn every button off the list is empty and says that no tournaments match, and the buttons stay, so you can turn one back on.

The buttons are written into the address of the page, so the back button undoes the last one you pressed, and an address you copy shows the list as you had it. They are shown only when there is a list to narrow, so a year with no tournaments in it has none.

Beneath them the Country, Region and Sport lists narrow what the buttons left, as they do for everybody. They offer only what is in that list, so a choice never gives you nothing.

What you can do with a tournament

Beside a tournament you only look after the rankings of, the list offers Players and nothing else. It opens the tournament's page, where you can change the world ranking name of any of its players, read its managers and write to them with Email Managers, and take its games for the world rankings from the Rankings tab, with Download games for world ranking. You cannot change the tournament, archive it, or enter scores in it, since those are for its managers and scorers. An archived tournament of this kind has no button; its name still opens its page.

Beside a tournament you manage or score, the list offers what it offers any manager or scorer: Manage with the pencil (Edit) and the bin (Archive), or Scores. Being an officer changes none of that.
