A Sport type dataset is simplified compared to the Electives type dataset. It is easily set up and its purpose is for sport data collection and class creation only. No line generation occurs. The students log into Choice with their WebCodes and select one sport preference for the rotation / term / semester. Students should choose some reserve sport options in case they can't be placed into their preferred sport. They may repeat the selection process for the next rotation / term / semester. Once student sport choices have been downloaded, the result can be viewed and managed in Lines > Elective data > Courses. The sport classes are then created without any teacher / room considerations. 

Option 1 - E10 juggles class lists: 

a) Students submit their sports preferences online. 

b) E10 creates classes to place every student into a sport while satisfying the highest number of student preferences, once the sport selection process is finished, the form is closed and choices have been downloaded into the file.

c) The number entered into the Max students column in Lines > Elective data > Courses must reflect the total number of students per sport option if the #C = 1 or the maximum number of students per sport class if the #C is > 1.

 

Option 2 - 'First come first served':

'First come first served' can be selected via Lines > Edval Choice > Sync  > Submission settings. The 'First come first served' feature works like an online booking system. 

a) Students submit their sports preferences online.

b) E10 places students into a sport based upon available spaces, at the time of submission.

c) The number entered into the Max students column in Lines > Elective data > Courses must always reflect the total number of students who may be booked into the sport (disregarding the #C).
