The use of time slots makes it possible to structure and organize the time dedicated to various sporting activities, such as practices or games, and to different categories or teams. In associations, time slots can be used to efficiently manage the use of playing surfaces, to avoid conflicts of use and ensure that all teams have access to the necessary facilities.

Time slots are often used for cups, playoffs or tournaments. Their use in these cases allows time slots to be shared with another organization such as a region, league or tournament, so that managers can place games on the right playing surfaces even if no local team is participating.

Time slot sharing applies to all organizations. It is advisable to limit this sharing by specifying criteria such as time slot type, category, league or tournament. Sharing means that teams from any organization can be included in a game using that time slot.

To add a time slot:

    • Field * : You must choose the field where you want to add time slots.

    • Start date and time * : Allows you to choose a date on which to start your time slots.

    • Comment: Allows you to write a comment on the time slot if necessary.

    • It is possible to create separations between time slots, either in duration or by adding a pause.

Example: If you have a 2-hour time slot available, you can divide it into 4 time slots of 25 minutes each, with a 5-minute break to allow for transition time.
