NOTE: You must first have Teams, Divisions, and Venues to create a season schedule.
The preferred flow for generating a schedule includes the following steps:
Adding Venues
Adding Time Slots
Creating Scheduling Rules
Generating Matchups
Autoschedule
First, navigate to the season's Schedule Assistant:
From HQ, click Competition > Season Management.
Within the correct season, click Schedule.
In the upper-right corner of the Schedule section, click the three-dot icon, then Scheduling Assistant.
Adding Venues
The first step in setting up the schedule is to ensure available venues.
In the upper-right corner of the Schedule section, click the three-dot icon, then Add Venue.
If this is your organization's first venue, click Add Venue in the center of the page.
Choose the needed venues from the dropdown.
If you do not see the needed venues or have not yet created any, click the blue Add Venue text to navigate to Season Management's Venues page.
Once finished making selections, click Add Venue.
Adding Time Slots
Once you've added game venues, create the time slots to indicate when the venues are available to host games.
In the upper-right corner of the Schedule section, click the three-dot icon, then Add Time Slots.
Fill out the required information for the time slot details.
Click Add Another Time Slot to add another time slot for the same selected venues, days, and dates.
Click All Done.
Creating Scheduling Rules
Scheduling Rules allow admins to ensure all games are standardized lengths and to rule out scheduling conflicts with dates and venues. For more on the types of scheduling rules, click here.
In the upper-right corner of the Schedule section, click the three-dot icon, then Scheduling Rules.
Select the division to create rules for.
Complete the game length and time rules, then click Next.
Select any Blackout Dates and click Next.
Blackout days are specific dates you wish to exclude from the schedule, such as holidays or days when sub-venues are closed for private events.
Select any venues to apply venue restrictions and click All Done when complete.
Generating Matchups
With scheduling rules in place, matchups between teams in a given division can be generated and later applied to the created time slots.
In the upper-right corner of the Schedule section, click the three-dot icon, then Generate Games.
Select the Division.
Enter the number of games per team.
Use the checkboxes to indicate which teams in the selected division to include.
Click Generate Games.
The system will now display generated games for each of the selected teams. Click the lock icon to lock in any specific matchups.
Click Save All Games.
Autoschedule
Automatically assign matchups to created time slots to create a complete schedule that adheres to schedule rules.
From the left side of the scheduling assistant, select the division to schedule for.
Created matchups will display below the division name.
At the bottom of the matchup list, click Autoschedule.
