Overview: Our "Competition" refers to a specific grouping of teams and games (eg. a new Season, Tournament, etc). Every Organization has a unique structure and SportNinja is configurable to meet the demands of your custom requirements.
Note: Before setting up a Competition, ensure you doing so under the desired Org and/or Sub-Org structure.
Steps:
1. From your Competitions tab, hit the "New" button in the top right corner.
Alternate Option (CLONE): If you would like to copy forward a prior Competition structure - of Divisions and Teams, you can also CLONE a previous Competition (eg. last year's Regular Season)
To Clone a Competition:
Navigate to the Competition you would like to copy over and hit the vertical ellipsis button on the right and select "Clone Competition".
2. Complete the required fields and hit Submit.
3. Once created, go to the Set up tab to edit your Divisions and Teams as needed.
You will have 3 choices for Adding Teams:
- Select a previous Team, and copy forward a prior roster (including Team Reps)
- Select a previous Team, and create a new Roster (this will preserve the connection to this team's data)
- Manually add a brand New Team(s)
(For CLONED seasons, no need to do anything, there will already be a new roster created for each of the teams cloned over in the new Competition)
Next Steps: Before you are ready to schedule and score games, ensure the following entities exist:
- Locations (NOTE: If you have used a location / surface in the past you will not need to re-add it)
- Games/Schedules
- Team Managers (Team Reps)
- Rosters / Players
- League Officials (Referees, Scorekeepers)
(Exception: If you CLONED a prior competition this step is not required)
