Ratings and Statistical Explanations Tournament Scoring Software Statistical Software Golfstat's Services Registration Ratings and Statistical Explanations Adjusted Ratings Explanation and Discussion Find out the origin of the adjusted ratings, how it works, and why it is a better measure of scoring averages for college golf than using ratings and slope. History: Back when I got started with the NCAA Women in they had a system where we used course rating slope was still pretty new at this time.
By that system was abolished because of the following reasons: While they were correctly requiring all golf courses to be rated based upon the yardage set up for that particular event, you still have differences in how people rate golf courses if you think this isn't true there is no need for you to read any further; and don't call me either. How do Adjusted Ratings work? Why are Adjusted Ratings a good indicator of scoring for College Golf? The dynamic nature of always re-adjusting throughout the year lessens the already low chance that the scores are affected by an "abnormal day by a group of players".
Course Rating and Slope cannot take into account weather conditions or course set up both of which can drastically affect scores. The Adjusted Ratings are totally objective in their approach no opinions like: the weather was horrible.
Strength of field has zero impact on Adjusted Ratings as it is the golf course that is actually being adjusted. Rankings Explanations Defines Rankings eligibility, H-T-H standings calculation, strength of schedule calculation, presentation of the standings explanation, and Relative Ranking explanation. Either of the following 2 scenarios can be met to satisfy this requirement: A minimum number of different opponents in their Division or higher equal to the current minimum number of rounds for Division 1.
Here are five things to think about when trying to understand the ranking: 1. Most notable concerns that are addressed in the Relative Ranking: 1. Bottom line, always look at every event as a series of duals. Versus Division Same explanation as above using the next 25 schools. Versus Region Same explanation as above using next 10 schools.
The number on the right is the average number of birdies and pars that the player makes when they did not hit the green in regulation. The higher the total of the two numbers is good. The maximum is The higher the number on the left shows how much pressure the player is putting on the golf course to score low numbers. Obviously, they are getting more birdie opportunities. The higher the number on the right shows the amount of pressure that the player is putting on their short game to score par better.
However, it also shows a trend that the player is relying on their short game quite a bit to score good numbers. Top Frosh Impact Explanation Top Frosh Impact is a measure of how strong and how impactful your freshman class of golfers is. It has the ability to set tee-times quickly and easily for any college tournament format imaginable. It is the most accurate and efficient process for compiling results after each round of the tournament, including statistical information for each player and team It prints out media releases after each round.
The software can be used for any competition with another school. Women's do not allow 9-Hole scoring. You have to enter par and yardage for a 9-Hole course you have the 4 course set ups available to take advantage of this option. When taking advantage of a 9-Hole set up, the other 9 Holes must be left in their original starting status of dashes If an error is made when entering, a new zero all feature has been installed to return a course set up to it's original starting status.
There is a new option when updating scoring to enter a Team only penalty. These happen about every 2 years and we never had anything in place to deal with them. A new cleaner format on several of the results printouts. A color monitor is beneficial, but not necessary. Your computer must also be able to handle a 3.
If you are using a lap top without a ten key pad we suggest you plug in an external keyboard with a ten key pad, but remember, it is not a necessity. That's all you need.
Options 1 through 8 all relate to work done before the Tournament starts. That will be explained in these directions. It can also handle up to 4 different courses played in the Tournament. At most Tournament's there is a location where someone receives the scorecards turned in by the players and then adds them up to check the score.
At the same time the information has then been entered into the computer and all results forms that will be needed by Sports Information, the Media, and Golfstat will be automatically available.
Let's get started. Notice that all segments of these directions begin by underlining the first word. This segment on getting started should be read first and then you should actually do what is said here to make yourself as familiar with RESULTS as you will need. Each option will have a segment of directions devoted to it. This segment is more of an overview.
You may run this software directly from the Golfstat Diskette on an A: or B: drive. You may do this by putting the Diskette in your 3. The first time you do this it will take some time to get the program started as certain files will be created.
This will only happen that first time. Welcome to your main screen. In the upper left hand corner you see 1 Add or Delete Participating Schools followed by other options. This particular option is blinking which means the cursor is located at this option.
Notice at the bottom of the screen how the different keyboard keys you can use with this screen are explained. The actual key used is shown in white while the explanation is shown in red. All options will have key use help lines like this and they will be located at either the bottom of the screen, the top of the screen, or the right side of the screen. Use your cursor up and down arrows to move around the options.
ENTER the option you want. ESC when you are done with the program. Within the Red Screen will be a White Screen that defines the Error and tells you how you should handle it. At the right you see some information. This information is as follows: -Time of Day -Days till files expire. After 45 days the files on this diskette will cease working.
This can be changed. Once you have started entering scores " 9 Enter Scores for Today's Round" options 1 and 3 will not work anymore. This is to guard against incorrectly entering wrong scores.
If for some reason you have started entering scores and realize that you left out a school or had a wrong player playing, you can take either option 1 or 3 and type in the Secret Code STARTOVER all capitals. However, this will erase all data except Par and Yardage for the various course plus any pairing formatting option 6 that you have done.
All other work you may have completed will have to be redone. The Options: Two important things to remember: These options have been placed in category order of how you would use them for the set up and scoring of your Tournament. Don't be afraid to be bold when you are new to this software. More often than not, the computer will tell you when you have made a mistake. Another thing to remember is that this software is broken down into 2 major areas: scoring and pairings.
The scoring portion of the software is required as part of getting results to Golfstat. The pairings are not. You don't have to use any part of the pairings options 6, 7, and 8 , but they are available to make your Tournament run smoother. Before we discuss in detail the options available, lets look at the most logical order of steps you would take to use this software for your tournament assuming that you are using the pairings: Step 1: Use option 1 to tell the computer which schools are sending a Team or Individuals to your Tournament.
Step 2: Use option 2 to print a registration form for each of these schools. Step 3: Use option 6 to format your tee times for each round. Step 4: Use option 5 to enter the yardage and par hole by hole for any and all courses being used. Step 5: Have the schools use the registration forms when they arrive to fill out their lineup and then enter those lineups for Teams and Individuals using option 3 use option 4 if players need to be added or edited on roster file.
Step 6: Use option 6 again to set the proper Teams and Individuals in the already formatted tee times. Step 7: Use options 7 and 8 to print out pairings and scorecard labels for the first round. Step 8: Use option 9 to enter scores when players turn in their scorecards.
Step 9: Use options to print out any desired results reports after round is finished and updated You update when you finish option 9 after all scores have been entered.
You can actually have the computer automatically print out the main results reports when exiting option 9 by taking the 3 update option. Step For rounds 2, 3, and 4 you would repeat steps 6 through Last Step: When updating the files after entering scores for the Final Round, make sure to answer that you are in the Final Round.
This will automatically note that on the printouts. Remember that the diskette quits functioning 45 days after it is first prepared by Golfstat. These schools are referred to as participating schools. What you are trying to accomplish is to find the Golfstat ID number associated with a participating school and enter that number. You must list all participating schools before you can run option 3. This is the most complicated scoring option and the keyboard keys at the top change when you invoke the look up feature explained next paragraph so we will discuss each keyboard key.
ESC End - Ends this option and sends you back to the main menu. When you do that you have invoked the look up feature and your keyboard keys will change at the top.
Schools beginning with the letter you typed will show up in the bottom left hand corner 10 schools at a time. To see the next 10 schools beginning with that letter assuming there are more than 10 strike the ENTER key which is one of the two keyboard key changes.
Note that the spacebar key has two distinct functions depending whether you are in or out of the look up feature. If you can't find the school in the look up feature try different letters that might make sense i. If after exhaustive search you cannot find the school All Divisions form Men's and Women's schools should be included.
It is possible that a first year NCAA school has not registered onto the system at the time your Tournament is held. When you type you will be asked to enter the name of the school in both a long 20 character and short 10 character format. You can strike ESC at any time during this entry to abort this feature if you have made an error. If you do use this feature remember that you still have to enter the players names using option 4.
This option allows you to print out a Tournament Registration form for any participating school in your Tournament. All you have to do is enter the Golfstat ID number listed next to the school. Obviously, you cannot run this option until you have first run option 1. This registration form can be used by the participating school to enter their lineup. It also deals with information important to help identify schools for your volunteers and for communicating with that school during the Tournament.
The participating schools Coach simply fills in their lineup along with the above information. They need to remember to note any players playing as individuals. If a player is playing as an individual simply enter an I for that individual. The lineup you receive from the coach will have team players in numbered positions, enter the lineup number for each player playing as a member of the team. This option will not allow you to duplicate or skip lineup numbers. If a team has 3 or less players, they will all have to play as individuals.
If all participating schools do not have a team or at least 1 individual, you will not be able to enter scores. You may also change Tournament information name, dates, course, location if they are incorrect. Keep in mind that any changes you make will change the permanent Golfstat record for the NCAA, so be sure of your changes.
Year in school should be defined from an eligibility point of view. This option is also used to enter the names of players for a school that is not currently on the Golfstat NCAA Rating System, but you added in option 1. Unlike other options in this program, this option can be used at any time, even after you have started entering scores. This option simply allows you to enter the yardage and par for any course used.
When taking this option the first question you are asked is which course. There is nothing magical here, just answer 1 for the first course you play and follow suit with any additional courses that are played. This option has to be completed before any scores are entered. You don't need to change the yardage and enter a new course just because you change the location of the tees for a round unless you change the par of any given hole.
