Configuring Awards in CT Live 2.0

Introduction

CT Live 2.0 now enables users to configure awards for event brackets, which can be displayed live on Athlinks. This feature is accessible through the new CT Live 2.0 user interface. Awards will be visible on:

• A dedicated Awards Page in the event in Athlinks
• IRP (Individual Results Page) in Athlinks
• ERP (Event Results Page) in Athlinks

How to Create Awards in CT Live 2.0

Updating Individual Brackets

1. Ensure you are in the CT Live 2.0 admin interface
   
   
2. Navigate to the Brackets tab
   • Note: You must have created brackets in the 1.0 interface to manage awards in CT Live 2.0
     
3. Set the Award Depth to indicate how many athletes can win this award.
   
4. Set the Award Rank type (Chip Time or Gun Time)
   • This setting can be different from the Bracket’s configuration
   • For example: Your gender bracket can rank athletes by Chip Time, but awards can be distributed based on Gun Time.
5. Click the blue toggle in the far right column (Publish Awards) for each award you want displayed in Athlinks. Note: Brackets with a Depth of '0' will not display in Athlinks, even if set to Published.
6. Click Save to apply your changes

Mass Updating Brackets

CT Live 2.0 makes mass updates to brackets simple:

1. On the Brackets tab, check the box next to one or more brackets
2. Once selected, you can make adjustments to all selected rows using the dropdown boxes at the top of the columns. 
   • Tip: Use the checkbox in the header row to select or deselect all brackets at once

Setting an Award Policy

The Award Policy defines whether double-dipping (winning multiple awards) is allowed and how it is configured.

To Configure an Award Policy:

1. Drag the bracket types that will not allow double-dipping below the double-dipping line
   
   
2. Once a bracket is below this line, click and drag the category boxes to set the priority of bracket types
