BasketballConnect Release Notes - 29th January, 2024

A BasketballConnect update was released on the 29th of January 2024.

New Contacts Section in Our Organisation

This new section houses all your Admin users, instead of them appearing at the bottom of your General section like before.

New All Incidents Section

A new 'All Incidents' section is available when you open the Match Day module.

This section allows you to view all incidents underneath your entity, in which you can filter by

- Year

- Competition/Program Organiser

- Competition/Program

- Affiliate

- Type (e.g Injury, Referee Report, Discipline)

- Status (Submitted, Not Submitted)

This enhancement could be extremely beneficial for Associations who want an overview of all incidents across their competitions (to save them clicking into each competition at a time and pulling reports).

'Submit for Grading' button in Teams Module now takes you straight to Team Grading

This change now speeds up the grading process, where once you press Submit For Grading you will be taken directly to the Fixtures > Team Grading section to propose/finalise grades. 

New Ladder Calculation - Average Points Per Game

Description provided by WSA:

If two or multiple teams are on the same win % then the team with the higher points is ranked higher but if that is the same then the team with the higher goal percentage (for points divided by against points) is placed higher on the ladder.

Any matches for the referee or officials you selected will now display without a payment:
