Re-grading a team occurs during a current season and allows a team to be up-/down-graded to a different division once matches have been played.  Where required, the migration of squad lists, match data and ladder points is facilitated.

Typically this occurs in competitions that allow re-grading to occur if a team is winning or losing a large percentage of their matches.

  1. Start by selecting the Source Grade, Team to Regrade and Destination Grade.
  2. Complete the re-grade team options as per the table below.

  3. Click Submit and OK to save your changes.

    It is crucial to review target team & associated grade thoroughly before clicking Submit as it is more complicated to reverse the action & requires manual manipulation

  4. It is recommended that you review the newly re-graded team, including:

    • Checking the fixtures of both source & destination grade.
    • Checking the ladder display of both source & destination grade.
    • Checking the Team settings in Grade manager page.
    • Rerunning the draw creator wizard.

Copy played matches & ladder points into destination grade

    • A copy of matches played by the migrated team will be created in the fixture of the Destination Grade (shown in red in Season Fixture). These are used for ladder calculations.

    • This helps to recalculate ladder points for destination grade including match played by migrated team.

    • There might be a missing or surplus of matches played in case the timing of two grades involved is different ie. team may play more or less matches than those in destination grade.
    • This will at the same time hide the team from source grade's ladder display.
    • Seeding for teams will be auto adjusted in both destination & source grade.
Replace migrated team with Bye in the source grade

The fixture in the source grade will be updated with the Migrated team being replaced with a BYE in future matches. Any matches that would result in 'BYE v BYE' will be deleted.
