How to download matches for upload to Arbiter The page Assignor:Assignment-Arbiter is designed to assist referee assignors that use the ArbiterSport referee assigning software to obtain a download of matches of interest.
CaveatThe data in this database is dynamic. It is constantly being updated and changed by Managers, Coaches, Schedulers, and Assignors. Any "snapshot" of data, such as a download, can be inaccurate literally minutes later. This download tool provides a snapshot of data.
This download tool will also only provide the specific data requested. Sometimes what is requested is not what is wanted. Unfortunately, this system is not sophisticated enough to anticipate wants.
Trying to keep data synchronized between multiple databases is a thankless task. This tool may make it easier, but this tool is NOT automatic nor is it fool proof. Please use it accordingly.
Select Matches of Interest
- Use the "Download Criteria" to select matches of interest. Typically Match date (say 9/1 to 12/15) and Club could be used. Alternatively, select a Bracket and Location (example SilverElite at Morgan Hill).
- Use "Change" to select only Matches that have been changed in a specified time period. The criteria is a "Date Comparator". You need to specify a "Comparator" such as <, >, or = and then a date. Date can be in the form of
...... MM/DD or MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY or
...... a phrase such as "today", "yesterday" or "tomorrow" or
...... a period of time such as "-10 days" or "-1 week"
Change looks for when any one of a specified list of Match characteristics have been changed. The current list of match characteristics that are considered a "change" are specified by Setting=ChangeDataFields. The website Administrator can change this setting. Edits to data like Field, Date, Time, Club, Home, Away, Status and UseStandings is typically considered a change.
Current contents of the Setting=ChangeDataFields are:
dmaField,dmaDate,dmaTime,dmaClub,dmaHome,dmaAway,dusRankRef,dusRankAR,dmaHomeId,dmaAwayId,dmaStatus,dmaUseStandings,dmaHomeKey,dmaAwayKey,dmaTimeSlotsClub,dmaSource,dmaSourceKey
(The prefix dma means data element from the matches table.)
This Change criteria permits the Assignor to only track those matches that have had a change since the last time the Assignor coordinated the databases.
