Schedule your first games
By the end you’ll have your first games on the schedule, and on your website.
Before you start
- You need a season with teams in it. See Create your first season and teams.
- Courts are optional. To pick one for each game, add your venues and courts first in Settings › Venues.
Steps
-
Step 1: In the left menu, click Schedule.
The Schedule opens on its List view. With no games yet, it says No games yet.

Step 2: Click Add game at the top right.
The New game form opens. It adds one game unless you ask for more.

Step 3: At the top of the form, click Several (next to One game).
You get a grid with one row per game, so you can add a whole game night at once.

Step 4: In row 1, pick the Home team, then the Away team.
Type the first letters of a team and press Enter to pick it. A team can’t play itself.

Step 5: Type the Date and Time, then choose the Court.
Give a game both a date and a time, or leave both empty to add it unscheduled. The court is optional.

Step 6: Fill in row 2 the same way. Press Enter in the last row, or click Add row, for more games.
Tab moves across a row. You can also paste lines from a spreadsheet straight into the grid.

Step 7: Click Create 2 games at the bottom.
The button counts your rows, so it reads Create 3 games for three rows, and so on. Each game is saved in turn, and the form closes once every game has saved. Your games are listed on the Schedule under their date. If a court is already booked at that time, that game isn’t created: it stays in the grid with the reason, so you can change it and click Create again.

Step 8: Open your website and click Schedule.
From the admin, click ↗ (View public site) at the bottom of the sidebar; your website opens in a new tab. Your games are there for fans, and scores and standings fill in as you enter results.
