Scoring Changes
The default scoring method in Golden Records is to record Hits, Golds, Xs with it being possible to switch to recording Hits, Golds, Tens.
The option to record Hits, Golds, Tens is being withdrawn shortly and recording Hits, Golds, Xs will be the only option available. This change is being made to align with actual round scoring practice and in anticipation of the Xs score 11 being trialled in elite archery becoming more widely adopted in the future.
Currently only a minority of users are using Hits, Golds, Tens.
Existing scores will be migrated by deeming Tens with no Golds to be Golds, and Tens with Golds also recorded as being Xs.
If this change is likely to cause issues users are asked to get in touch so a solution can be found.

Recent Changes
Users will have noticed recent changes to how data is displayed.
These changes were necessary to ensure that Golden Records Online was accessible from the widest range of devices both mobile, and older laptops with small screens. Over the years the amount of data presented in tables has increased leading on some devices to tables scrolling off screen and presenting usability issues. The new tables are adaptable to different screens including phones. There are one or two pages that remain best viewed on a desktop or laptop, but all other pages are now responsive.
It is appreciated that change is not always welcome and that some users prefer the previous implementation.
This ends an active period of adding new features and change in display and presentation. The patience of users is appreciated and changes will be limited to essential changes only for the foreseeable future.

New Achievements System
Awards on Golden Records Online have been renamed Achievements to more closely reflect tracking and rewarding progress. This is accompanied by adding the popular 252 scheme which is editable to reflect that it is not implemented the same way by all clubs.
It is also now possible for clubs to set up their own badge schemes to set goals and reward achievements.
Tracking of badge and trophy holders is now supported, making it possible to see who has (or has not) been given a badge or trophy and for its return to be recorded.
