Selecting Team(s) to Import from the Unallocated Teams List
Reviewing Changes to the Fixture
Overview
When managing new or unallocated teams that need to be included into an existing grade, PlayHQ's regrade feature allows associations to import these teams and regenerate the grade's fixture. You can add any number of these teams to an existing grade using the regrade feature.
Before proceeding, it's crucial to understand the implications of regrading, as outlined in the impact of regrading on a grade's fixture and its ladder.
Importing an Unallocated Team
To begin, navigate to Competition Management from the main menu, select appropriate Competition and Season, then select the Grades tab. Once here, click the Regrade teams button.
From the drop-down list, choose the group (day, gender, age group) that you wish to regrade.
Selecting Team(s) to Import from the Unallocated Teams List
Once the regrading page opens, you can import an unallocated team by clicking the "Import an unallocated team" button.
Once you click the button, team(s) available for the import will be listed. Select the team(s) you wish to include in the regrading process, then click "Import Teams".
Note: The displayed teams may or may not be suitable for the selected grade or age group. You can use the Gender and/or Age group filters to refine your selection.
After selecting the Import team(s) button, the imported team(s) will appear as "Unallocated" at the top of the page. Select Move team to proceed.
Next, click the + Move team button(s). The team(s) will appear within the grade's list (it will not appear in the ladder yet).
Once the team is moved to the grade, a button called "Review Seeding and Fixture" appears on the page, allowing you to review the fixtures and rearrange the team's seeding before updating the changes.
Reviewing Changes to the Fixture
Once you click the "Review Seeding and Fixture" button, a new modal will pop up on the screen, showcasing both the new and old fixtures. This option provides a side-by-side comparison. If a game or a bye is repeated within 1 or 2 rounds, it will be highlighted to easily identify where the fixture may be unfair or unbalanced. You can reorder team seedings by simply dragging and dropping the team into another position. Once you have reviewed the updated fixture, click the "Confirm Seeds and Fixtures" button.
Once you click the Update Changes button, a confirmation window will pop up. You can choose Regrade to confirm, or Cancel to return to the previous screen.
After confirming, a success message will appear at the top of the page, indicating that the team is now included in the grade.
