Seedwell reads your ranking scheme, learns your rules, and applies them to whatever tournament results you upload. Less admin for your association. Less weight on the volunteers who keep your rankings running.
For any sport that ranks players on points, from national senior lists to masters series.
| # | Player | Points | Move |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Player A | 212 | ▲ 1 |
| 2 | Player B | 211 | ▼ 1 |
| 3 | Player C | 170 | – |
| 4 | Player D | 160 | ▼ 1 |
In most associations, rankings are kept by one or two volunteers. After every event they sit down with the results and a copy of the scheme and work it all out by hand. It takes hours per list, it's easy to get wrong, and when that person steps back, the knowledge often goes with them.
Seedwell doesn't guess. When your scheme or your results leave something open to interpretation, it asks, and it remembers the answer.
Give Seedwell the document you already use, whether that's Word, PDF or something else. It reads the points tables, tiers and counting rules and builds a calculation engine to match.
It might ask"If a player reaches the consolation event, do they keep their main-event points as well?"
Spreadsheets, CSV exports or PDFs, in whatever layout the organiser sent. Seedwell finds the players, events and finishing positions and matches them to your existing list.
It might ask"Is 'J. Smith (Lisburn)' the same player as 'James Smith' on your current list?"
Points are applied, best-of rules counted and the list re-sorted in seconds. Review it, see exactly why every player is where they are, then export or publish.
ThenSnapshot the list for the season, so you can always show how it looked after any event.
Copying, looking up, adding up and sorting are the repetitive parts of rankings, and exactly the parts a computer should do.
Your rankings volunteer keeps the judgement calls. Seedwell takes the hours of arithmetic.
Masters schemes often reward consolation events as well as the main draw, and carry part of last season into this one. Here's a scheme like that, worked through two events.
Points for where you finish in the main event or the consolation event, plus 10% of last season's total carried forward. Seedwell turns that into rules it applies to every player:
| Player | Carried | Event 1 | Event 2 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player A | 42 | 90 main R/U | 80 main SF | 212 |
| Player B | 61 | 100 main W | 50 cons. W | 211 |
| Player C | – | 70 main QF | 100 main W | 170 |
| Player D | 30 | 40 cons. R/U | 90 main R/U | 160 |
Click any player to see which results counted, which were dropped, and which rule decided it.
Where your scheme is ambiguous, Seedwell asks. Your answers become part of the rules, so it only asks once.
Seedwell follows the scheme your association has agreed. Change the scheme and the engine changes with it.
Seedwell is ranking software for governing bodies, associations and leagues in any sport where players earn ranking points from tournament results.
National and provincial rankings across senior, masters, veterans and women's lists, kept consistent from one season to the next.
Regional series, grand prix and classification events, with points carried between lists and seasons where your scheme says so.
Club ladders and internal rankings, without someone maintaining a spreadsheet nobody else understands.
No. It replaces the arithmetic. Your volunteer still owns the list, answers Seedwell's questions and decides when it's published. They just don't have to spend hours working it out.
That's what it's for. Tiered events, points carried between lists, age bands, best-of rules that change through the season. Where the scheme doesn't spell something out, Seedwell asks rather than assuming.
Spreadsheets and CSV files in whatever layout the organiser used, plus PDFs. You don't need to reformat anything before uploading.
Yes. Nothing is published until you say so, and you can see how every player's total was reached.
Seedwell is in its pilot phase. Talk to us. We're keen to work with a small number of associations to get it right first.
We're looking for a small number of associations to pilot Seedwell with real schemes and real results. Send us your scheme and a recent results file, and we'll show you your own list, calculated.
