If you log in using the instance's FTP username and password, the home folder for that user will contain a “backup” folder. Within that folder will be a CSV file for each event (named “event_[ID].csv”, where [ID] is the ID number of the event), and an overall results file (named 'overall.csv'). text/html 2009-03-28T13:16:24-05:00 http://docs.avogadro.ws/coaches?rev=1238264184&do=diff Avogadro gives access to team coaches to edit information about their team prior to the competition, select the events that team is going to compete in, provide a listing of students comprising the team, and assign students to individual events. Once the competition starts, the coaches are locked out of further editing, to maintain control of the data with the competition organizers. text/html 2009-06-19T14:34:55-05:00 http://docs.avogadro.ws/configs?rev=1245440095&do=diff Competition organizers have access to change various parameters about how that particular competition will be run. Documentation Prefix This parameter is a string value that is a path to wherever documentation for Avogadro overall is kept. The default prefix (”http://docs.avogadro.ws/”) will link here, to the main Avogadro documentation wiki. If this parameter is blank, no links to documentation will appear throughout the competition.

Each competition must have at least one group (named “Default” by default) which the events belong to. Other groups can be set, and the display colors of the groups modified by the competition organizers. Each competition can have up to 255 event groups defined (one-byte unsigned integer in the database). text/html 2009-06-19T14:24:10-05:00 http://docs.avogadro.ws/event_supervisors?rev=1245439450&do=diff Event Supervisors are individually assigned to an event by the competition organizers, and can enter raw scores and final scores for their event. Avogadro provides many ways for Event Supervisors to simplify the scoring process, including duplicate-checking (to ensure ties are broken) and automatic sorting (ascending or descending) of raw scores. text/html 2009-06-19T14:28:07-05:00 http://docs.avogadro.ws/events?rev=1245439687&do=diff Each competition has a set of defined events. These events can be grouped into different event groups, have different descriptions, and assigned event supervisors, all set by the competition organizers. Organizers also have control over the set minimum and maximum number of events that schools must enter in the competition. This minimum/maximum counts the entry types that are not set to “audit” to determine if a school is in the appropriate range.
