What you will do
Your team list becomes the backbone of divisions, fixtures, and public pages. If it is messy here, it stays messy everywhere.
Before you start
- Use consistent club names from the start.
- Check the team age group and format before fixtures exist.
- Remove duplicates before you move on to divisions.
Where to go
- Teams list
- Add or import teams and check the club details are consistent.
- Division setup
- Only move into divisions after the team list looks right.
How to do it
- 1
Add every team with the public-facing name you want spectators to see.
- 2
Check that club names are not duplicated with small spelling differences.
- 3
Confirm age group and format before placing teams into divisions.
- 4
Clear out duplicates or withdrawn teams before scheduling starts.
Check you are ready
- Team names look right on a public fixture list.
- Club names are consistent across the event.
- There are no duplicate or placeholder teams left behind.
