Unlike the Tournament Summary Window with its list of challenges and levels, the All Teams Window offers you a view of your entire tournament – team by team.
The following topics describe the All Teams Window:
The All Teams Window displays every team in the tournament. It is designed for scoring team leaders and others who need access to all teams in the tournament. Volunteers who are entering scores for particular challenge levels might find the challenge level windows more useful.
The All Teams Window has the sorting and search features that are available in the challenge level windows. However, it also includes a filtering feature that is not available anywhere else in the DI Scoring Program.
You can sort the teams by almost any column – challenge, level, time, team name – or a combination of several columns. You can filter the team rows to eliminate many different combinations and values. You can display and hide columns. And you can use the powerful search tool to locate any character string in any data field.

The Toolbar buttons on the All Teams Window provide access to many of the same features available in the Tournament Summary Window. The following table lists these buttons, their ‘tool tip’ definitions and keystroke shortcuts, and indicates an explanation of what they do.

How to Search the All Teams Window
The search feature in the All Teams Window is very powerful. Just enter any character string – as short or as long as you need – and only those lines containing that string will remain in the list of teams.
Search only the columns (or fields) that are relevant.
To narrow your list to only the teams competing in Team challenge at “9-something” in the morning, include the TC Time field and then type 9:. To see only the teams with a certain group of digits in their team number, include the Team Num field and just type the specific digits. Try it, you’ll like it!
Then click the “x” to remove your search criteria and again display all teams.
How to Filter the All Teams Window
This powerful tool is most useful when this computer is assigned to the entry of scores for more than one challenge or level – but not all. Using it, you can create your own “customized” All Teams Window, based on the values of your column headings – plus a few other parameters that you may have not chosen to display. See the list of all Columns immediately above to see what you might be able to do.
For example, the view above displays only teams in the Technical, Scientific and Engineering challenges. In addition, this example shows only those teams scheduled for their Team Challenge more than 95 minutes before this “snapshot” was taken (at 11:30 AM). If this time filter is combined with another filter based on the TC Done column, you could display only those teams whose scores should arrive during the next selected time interval. How’s that for keeping your focus on only a minimum number of teams at any one time!
Click the icon to add as many filters as you need. Pull down the list of column names to select the one on which you want to design each filter. Leave the check mark before the values you want to appear in your All Teams Window. False and true can be interpreted as No and Yes. Click the small “x” to remove a particular filter. If you want to completely remove all the filter(s), you must separately click the small “x” for each one.
Click the large “check” mark to hide the filter definition panel while retaining the filters you have defined (to get your window space back). Pull down the View menu list on this Window and check the box on the Filters line to get your definitions back when you want to view or edit or remove them.
How to Sort the All Teams Window
To sort the rows in the All Teams Window, click the header row of any column.
To sort by more than one column, click the columns sequentially.
To toggle between ascending and descending order, click the column header again. When you click to sort by the values in a column, an arrow appears in the column header row. The direction of the arrow indicates whether the column is sorted in ascending (up) or descending (down) order. Unfortunately there’s only one arrow, so it only appears at the top of the last column you click.
To restore the default sort order, which is first by level and then by challenge, from the View menu, click Default Sort Sequence. Or, click the Sort button in the toolbar.
