Overview: "Competition" refers to a specific grouping of teams and games (eg. a Season, Tournament, etc). Every Organization has a unique structure. And SportNinja has been designed to be configurable to meet the demands of those custom requirements.
Important 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: 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 elipsis button on the right and select "Clone Competition".
2. Complete the required fields and hit Submit.
3. Important! Once a Competition has been created, click into it and go to the Set up tab to add your Divisions and Teams to the competition.
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)
Next Steps: Before you are ready to schedule and score games, ensure the following entities exist:
(Exception: If you cloned a competition, per above, they should not need to be re-created)
- 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)
