Adding a Game to a Finals Fixture
To add a game to the finals fixture, select Competition Management from the main menu, choose the relevant competition and season tile, and navigate to the Grades tab.Once here, select the appropriate grade, then click on the Finals Sub-tab. Finally, click the + Add a Game button. Once you click the button, there will be two sections to complete: Game details and Allocation.
When entering the game details, select the home and away teams. The team swap icon can be used to switch the home and away team if appropriate. If any of the teams are unknown, choose ‘TBC Team’. The game alias is available if you wish to display an alternative name in the fixture (eg. Semi Final).
The second section is the allocation. Select a venue from the full list; this is where the game will take place. The playing surface represents the details of the court where the game is to be held. Although the date can fall on an exception date, you will be reminded of the exception date on the form if this is selected. When a start time is chosen, the end time will be automatically populated based on the total game duration set in the grade’s settings. Minutes can only be set in 5-minute increments.
After entering all the necessary information in the required fields for the new game, you will notice that the Add game button becomes clickable. Clicking this button will add the new game to the selected round within the finals fixture of the respective grade, and it will be displayed accordingly.
The table below provides the descriptions for each field you will need to fill out.
