Edit the house rules for a contest you already created: name, logo, scoring modes, active status, pacing dates, and enable Chaos Ops.
// Chris - To Do: Screenshot of Edit Contest / settings
These match the create form, and they matter just as much on edit:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enable Olympic Scoring | For each section, lowest and highest judge totals are shown but excluded from the calculation (needs at least five judges to work effectively) |
| Enable Averaging | Section totals are averaged across the judge scores used; if Olympic is also on, averaging applies after Olympic |
| Contest Active | When off, this contest is not selectable for judges/tallymasters and scoring is locked; they may still sign in if they have another active contest membership |
| Enable Producer Score Adjustment | Allows integer adjustments on overall totals (producer or tallymaster), including impromptu tiebreaks where required |
| Enable Automatic Tiebreak | When on, only tied contestants are re-ranked in place without Olympic, then without averaging if still tied, then (if still tied) using Judge + Alternate Judge scores together. Off by default. See Results. |
| Results Exports Show Judge Name | Exports show names instead of preferring judge numbers (in case producers and/or judges prefer a little anonymity) |
| Minimum Overall % to Place | If a contestant's overall % is less than this, contestants will show without a placement rank |
Warning
Flipping Olympic or Averaging mid-show changes how totals compute. Coordinate with your tallymaster before you experiment on a live scoreboard. (NOT RECOMMENDED)
On the edit screen (not create), you can set:
These dates help Chaos Ops schedule the initial sets of due dates and stages. They are not a magical lock on the public application form by themselves - you still have to manually enable/disable/configure your forms separately.
After you change pacing dates, Chaos Ops can refresh incomplete task due dates (from Chaos Settings: Update due dates from pacing).

Full details: Chaos Ops.
Keep a log for when you change:
You never know when you'll need receipts.
Did you know?
Changing pacing dates can refresh incomplete Chaos Ops due dates - use Update due dates from pacing in Chaos Settings after big date shifts.
Keep a tiny staff note when you change:
Your future self will appreciate having receipts!
Where is Chaos Ops on a brand-new contest?
Create the contest first, then edit settings - the enable Chaos Ops settings live on the edit form.
Can co-producers edit settings?
Yes, co-producers can help run the contest. Ownership-only actions (like delete or transfer) stay special - see Co-producers and Clone & delete.
Does inactive hide the contest from me as producer?
Producers still manage their contests; the important lockout is for assigned judges and tallymasters on that contest.
I enabled score adjustments - where do I enter them?
Score adjustments.
