Editing referees

John ProulxPosted on 01/28/04 at 22:55:14

I was wondering if there was any way to edit the referees for a circuit once it's been started beyond manually editing the referees.dat file, as the manual doesn't list any. If not, I'd also like to know what the new layout of the file is, as the Plugin Programmer's Reference is out of date -- in fact, it doesn't even list where the Counts to 10/20 flag is stored, much less anything new like the Head Referee flag.

There is. Go into "Edit Circuit-Specific Database" and then select Referees :)

I'll update the reference ASAP, thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks, Oliver. I should have known that, but it's been a long time since I wanted to do it...which brings me to why I had to do it  :) . I had set up a circuit, and wasn't quite ready to decide who my referees were, so I told TNM not to use the default referees. I then didn't create any, either, intending to create them later, only to find that the circuit had been assigned the default referees anyway  :P . Is that by design? If so, it was quite annoying to have to delete all the refs before creating my own.

Yes, that is by design. Scheduling matches without any referees in your database isn't going to fly ;)

That's pretty much what I thought. Still, perhaps a warning that this is about to happen is in order if someone does what I tried to do :) .
