Awards

The Awards step is where you choose which awards your event gives out. Competition Control offers the standard award list for your program, and you check the ones you plan to present. Winners are chosen later on the finalize page: performance awards fill in from match results, and judged awards are entered when judging finishes. See Finalize and awards.

Open the step from Event Setup. The award list depends on the program chosen on the General step, so choose the program first. Check your RECF event listing for the awards your event is approved to give. Only the Admin role can open Event Setup. See Roles and Permissions.

Choosing Awards

Under Configure Awards, check the box beside each award your event will present. Each award is added as soon as you check it.
For the Judges Award, choose 1 winner or 2 winners from the list beside it. The default is 2 winners. Other awards have a fixed number of winners set by the program.
Uncheck any award you do not plan to give. If winners have already been assigned to that award, a confirmation asks Remove the award from this event? Winners already assigned to it are removed too. Click Confirm to remove it or Cancel to keep it.
Click Next: Schedule when you are done.

If an award cannot be added or removed, the reason appears in red beneath it. Check the awards early, before judging starts, so the judge advisor sees the full list on the finalize page. Changing the Judges Award winner count after winners are assigned may leave a winner outside the new limit.

Awards by Program

The list is fixed for each program. Grade-specific awards use each team's Grade from the Teams step, so an award for a grade level with no teams has no eligible winners. If your event has teams from only one grade level, skip the grade-specific awards; they would duplicate the overall award.

Remarks

Only awards checked here appear on the finalize page, where winners are assigned. Tournament and Teamwork Mission awards fill from the final elimination standings, and solo and Skills Missions awards fill from the solo match rankings, where only teams that made at least one attempt can place. A team cannot hold two tournament placements or two solo placements at once.

Award scripts and ceremony slides are generated for the awards checked here, winners appear on the awards display screens, and the awards report lists these awards and their winners. In a league, awards belong to the whole event, not to a session.
