Before you begin scheduling your season, it's essential to configure your office settings. Here's how:Configuring the parameters of a league or tournament is essential to ensure smooth organization, adapted to the needs of the competition. Here are some of the main reasons why:
Customize rules: Each league or tournament can have its own specific rules (competition format, game duration, ranking criteria, etc.). Configuring these parameters allows you to respect the particularities of your event.
Team and participant management: Parameters can be used to define the number of teams or players, eligibility requirements, and to ensure that registrations are carried out according to the rules.
Game scheduling: Configuring the times, locations and frequency of games facilitates coordination between teams, referees and organizers, avoiding scheduling conflicts.
Automated rankings and results: With the right parameters, the system can automatically calculate results, update rankings and determine which teams qualify for the next phases.
Transparency and communication: Well-defined parameters ensure that all participants (teams, spectators, officials) are aware of the rules and workings of the tournament, guaranteeing good communication.
Contingency management: By having back-up parameters (such as rules for ties, game postponements, etc.), you're better prepared to deal with unforeseen circumstances without disrupting the flow of the competition.
In short, these settings ensure that the competition runs fairly, transparently and efficiently.
So, before you start creating your schedules, you need to set up your organization parameters.
