This article explains how to change whether a low or high score determines the winner for a sport in Athletics Manager, including where to adjust the Scoring setting.
💡Quick answers
- Where do you change whether low or high score wins for a sport? Go to the Team Classification screen from the Athletics Manager Dashboard, hover over the sport and click the pencil icon to open Edit Sport, then use the Scoring dropdown.
- Why does Golf or Cross Country need a different scoring setting? Because sports like Golf, Cross Country, and darts award a win to the lowest score, unlike most sports where Athletics Manager defaults to awarding a win for the highest score.
- Does the low score setting apply to all teams in that sport? Yes; any team created for that sport, such as Middle School Golf or Upper School Golf, automatically inherits the Low Score Wins setting.
For sports like Golf and Cross Country (or even darts), a team wins by achieving the lowest score in a competition. By default, Athletics Manager awards a "Win" result to the team with the highest score in a match. This behavior can be adjusted on a per-sport basis.
To set a sport to show a victory for the lowest result, go to the Team Classification screen from the Athletics Manager Dashboard. In the list of sports, find the sport you want to update and hover over the name to reveal the fly-out menu, then click the pencil icon to open the "Edit Sport" window.Â
From the third dropdown menu, "Scoring," select "Low Score Wins."
Any team created for that sport (e.g., Middle School Golf, Upper School Golf, etc.) will inherit the "Low Score Wins" setting, and the results will display appropriately.
