"Cross pool play" is a special type av pool play. You can eighter use playkeys (most used) or not. If using playkeys, this type of keys must include name "cross". Teams must be divided into groups.

Using playkeys, the key defines number of matches and thereby number of series. Most often each team only meet another team once.

If not using playkeys, teams in own group are met twice and in addition teams from the other group is met once. It is only possible with two groups if not using playkeys.

When published to APP: All matches are shown inside one single group but one table exists for each group.

Dividing into groups

First of all, make the two groups for this league level.

  1. Enter tab "Teams registred in league" and select the correct group

Preparing league level without using playkey

  1. Select the league level which shall use cross pool play. The legue level info will, after everything is done, show status with green text.
  2. Check that two groups exists for this level.
  3. Check on "Cross pool play"

Assign play key

IMPORTANT: Only play key including name "cross" can be used.

  1. Select to use "Cross pool play"
  2. Select the playkey. The key MUST include the name "cross"
    NOTE: Do NOT check on "Ordinary pool play"! This will NOT work with cross pool play.
  3. The league-level will include a text saying this is using cross pool play and using playkey.

Scheduling

Teams must be divided into correct groups and rounds initial setup must be set. That is, PL need to know when the rounds are to be played. After this data is set, enter menu "Schedule" directly. There is no point using menu "Play order" because the play key defines all the matches.

Publishing

Publishing is done as usual to the APP. A ranking table is shown for each groups, but the matches are all shown in a list (undepended of the groups).

  1. Table teams in pool A
  2. Table teams in pool B
  3. All matches in both pool are joind into one big happy family
