When all results have been submitted in the phase contributing to the playoffs, the icons will be replaced with team names. If you have teams on equal points, they may need to be manually re-ranked in Standings. The manual ranking will be reflected when team names populate icons.
Important: To allow all teams to progress to the playoff phase, all games in the contributing phase must be finished and scored PRIOR to results being submitted for any of the playoff fixtures. Once the first playoff fixture has been scored, no further teams will replace the placeholder icons.
If a score is accidentally added to a playoff, not only would the score and app submissions need to be removed, the contributing or linked phase standings table will also need to be re-loaded by clicking the rank teams option.
However, once team names have replaced all placeholder icons in the first level of the playoff, playoffs can be played in any order without preventing the progression of other teams. Meaning a semi final can be scored even if some quarter finals are still to be played.
