Distinction between locations and playing surfaces

In Spordle PLAY, venues and playing surfaces are managed separately, unlike in other platforms.

For example, a park named Spordle Park may include several playing surfaces: a baseball field, two soccer fields and a basketball court.

  • Place name: Spordle Park

  • Associated playing surfaces :

    • Soccer: Soccer-Spordle 1 and Soccer-Spordle 2

    • Baseball: Baseball-Spordle1

    • Basketball: Basketball-Spordle 1

Note: Only playing surfaces relevant to your sport will be displayed in your Spordle PLAY platform. For example, in Spordle PLAY for Soccer Québec, only soccer fields will appear.

 

 

By clicking on VENUES in Spordle PLAY, you'll see a list of all the parks in Canada. This is not where you'll find your specific playing surfaces.

How do I access my organization's playing surfaces?

  • You must click ORGANIZATIONS, enter your organization in the name box, and click on it.

  • On the first page under the SUMMARY tab, you will find your playing surfaces at the bottom of this page under the calendar by expanding the FIELDS/ RINKS tab. This is where you will find your playing surfaces and your subdivided playing surfaces with the correct names.

  • You'll also be able to see whether your organization is the primary or secondary organization for the playing surface in question.

 

If you need to modify, add or delete a playground or subdivision, please contact Spordle, who will make the change for you. Spordle manages all parks and playing surfaces to avoid duplication.

Unavailability of a playing surface

You can add any periods of unavailability of a playing surface at the same location, whether these are :

  • Seasonal closures (e.g. winter).

  • Specific restrictions (e.g. at night).

  • Reservations for other sports, activities or events.

Reminder: A playing surface marked as unavailable is blocked for any activity related to your sport.

 

Practice is not unavailability on a field

Practices are not considered unavailable. They must be created directly in Spordle PLAY to block the corresponding time slots when scheduling games.

Practices or events can be created without associating a team.

It is not possible to create a practice in a league, tournament or cup. Practices can only be created within an association.

Reminder: Unavailability = Playing surfaces unavailable for any activity in your sport.
