## Edit Scoring Format Help

Detailed guide for editing, configuring, and understanding all options in the scoring format editor.

##### Introduction

The Edit Scoring Format panel allows administrators to fully customize how a scoring format works for a given sport or event. You can change the name, sport, mode, judge settings, scoring scale, criteria, rounds, results, flow, tiebreaks, mode-specific configuration, and diversity rules. This is the most advanced configuration panel for scoring logic.
