The Spordle Pyramid: Structuring Your Organization Effectively
In the Spordle ecosystem, the organizational structure is represented in the form of a pyramid. This pyramid helps to visualize and organize the various entities, from national federations down to local teams, including leagues and tournaments. Here is a detailed overview of this pyramid:
...
Level 1: Top of the Pyramid – National Organizations
For example, Hockey Canada is at the top of the pyramid. This entity manages rules and structures and provides general guidelines for managing the sport on a national level. It is responsible for approving associations, leagues, and tournaments, and oversees player development policies.
Level 2: Provincial Organizations
Under the national organization, there are provincial organizations that apply and adapt national guidelines to fit provincial realities. They are responsible for managing regions as well as major leagues and tournaments.
Level 3: Regional Organizations
Under the provincial organization, regional organizations apply and adapt national and provincial guidelines to regional realities. They are responsible for managing associations/clubs within their region, as well as regional leagues. They play a key role in the development and support of sports programs.
Level 4: Associations/Clubs
These entities are directly responsible for teams and players. This is where most teams are formed and registered in competitions. It is also where players participate in practices. Associations must ensure that all teams and players are correctly registered in Spordle ID.
Level 5: Teams and Participants
At the base of every organization are the participants (players, coaches, etc.) and teams. They are the ones who benefit directly from the structures set up by the upper levels of the pyramid. Each participant and team must be registered in Spordle ID, allowing for traceability and smooth management.
Leagues and Tournaments: The Link Between Pyramid Levels
Leagues and tournaments play a crucial role as the link between different levels of the pyramid. Leagues help structure regular competitions between teams, while tournaments provide opportunities for special competitions. Each league, tournament, or cup must be properly created in Spordle ID under the correct parent organization.
