Overall Rankings

This document details how to use Derived Results aka Overall Rankings and how you can use pre-made ones or define your own in IceTest-NG.

What is a Derived Result?

In IceTest-NG, a "Derived Result" is any result that is automatically calculated from one or more results of the same competition. Derived Results (sometimes also referred to as "Overall Ranking" or "Combination Ranking") can be used to achieve the following:

  • Merge results from different tests, for example provide a combined total ranking for two separate T7 classes
  • Filter results, for example provide a ranking of a V5 class only for members of a certain club
  • Combine results, for example calculate an overall score for riders who participated in a tölt and a gaited class

Adding Derived Results to an event

Just like tests, Derived Results can be added either from an official test catalog (provided by FEIF or a national association) or from a custom XML file prepared by the user.

In order to add a Derived Result, go to the Tests page and click the competition name in the bread crumb menu on the top of the list to open the Competition Setup popup.

  1. Go to the Derived Results tab.
  2. The left column shows the available Derived Results.
  3. Drag the desired Derived Result to the right column.
  4. Close the overlay to save your changes.

See section XML Definitions for details on building your own custom Derived Results in XML.

Working with Derived Results

Once a Derived Result has been added to the competition, it will be listed on the Tests page. Unlike the regular tests, it will feature only a results (flag) icon.

Derived Results are updated automatically. Every time a result is entered for a test that is counting towards a Dervied Result, the calculation will be updated both in IceTestNG and on the ticker website.

If a competition makes use of age classes, Derived Results will feature separate rankings for both all age classes combined and every single age class.
