What this section does
Produces the event's results in the format the WCF ingests for ranking, so your event's games count. Refresh rebuilds it from current scores; Download WCF export saves the .xlsx; Included sections lists exactly what's in the file.
What's included — and what isn't
- Singles games only — doubles games are never part of WCF ranking, and the tab notes when doubles were excluded.
- Walkovers are excluded automatically — only played games count.
- Z games are included, under their own "Z" section.
- A test event can still build and download the file — useful for checking the format — but its public results link serves nothing while the event is a test.
Players added manually without a WCF profile appear by name; linking entrants to their WCF profiles when adding them is what makes results attributable.
The tournament winner line
The file ends with a Tournament winner: line. When the results decide the champion — the top competition's championship final has been played and scored — the name is filled in for you, and the tab shows it before you download. When the results don't name one (no knockout, the final not yet played, an unresolved tie), the line is left blank.
Either way, verify the line before sending — filling or correcting it is the manager's call.
