Before you start

  • A tournament you created or help to run as a co-admin
  • Your pitches added under Format

The short answer

What you will do

A site map shows teams and parents where each pitch is and where to find the toilets, food, first aid and parking on the day.

You draw it once on a satellite map. It appears on your tournament’s info page, and every match’s pitch links to it.

Before you start

  • Add your pitches first. The map uses the same pitch names as your schedule.
  • You need the venue’s name or postcode so the map opens in the right place.
  • Nothing is public until you tick Show the site map on the public info page.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Open the site map

    Open Format, then Pitches. Site map is below your list of pitches.

  2. 2

    Find your venue

    If the map does not show your ground yet, type the venue name or postcode in Venue or postcode and select Find.

  3. 3

    Place your pitches

    Select Place on map next to each pitch. Drag a pitch to move it, use the square handle to resize it and the round handle to rotate it. On a phone, the Fine-tune buttons move or turn the selected pitch a little at a time.

Common problems

The map does not load

Check your connection and reload the page. Your pitches and markers are kept until you save, and nothing is lost if the map loads later.

Can I use the pitches my club has already drawn?

Yes, if your club uses Playlee Clubs and you run its grounds. Under Start from your club's ground, pick the ground and select Copy pitches. Pitches with the same name get the club’s outline, and missing ones are added. Later changes to the club’s map do not change your tournament.

The site map is not on my info page

Tick Show the site map on the public info page and select Save site map. The map needs at least one pitch or marker on it.
