Part of Closing Ceremonies for Global Finals is reporting the winners.  The Closing red tab of the Awards system assists with reporting results.


The winners are presented as a slide show that cycles through the Team Challenges and Levels presenting the winners. The order of the slides is the main focus of the Closing red tab as shown in the screen shot below.  You can copy the order used in the prior year then make changes to the challenge order, level order and award order. Make sure you save the order you create.


Once the order has been determined and the place finishes have been imported, clicking the Display Slides button will start the slide show.  Setting up the slide show annually does require a bit of work that is described here.  This setup can be done well in advance of the tournament such that once the place and special awards are known, clicking the Display Slides button will run the presentation.


Here are a few notes on operating the slide show:


  • in Chrome, F11 takes the slide in and out of full screen mode
    The slide show is run in full screen mode during Closing Ceremonies to avoid window headers showing up on the arena monitors.
  • the left and right arrow keys advance the slides forward and backwards
  • the ESC key shows all the slides and allows moving to a particular slide more easily



Here is a sample slide:
