• Create league or tournament if necessary

If your organization requires a local league that has not yet been set up in Spordle PLAY, simply submit a support request to Spordle. However, in order to limit the number of pages on the Spordle Page (the public website), we recommend creating a single league where schedules for the various categories and types will be grouped together. For example, if you're planning a 2024 Non-Competitive League, a Minor Local League and a Senior Local League, we'll create a single league called the ABC Organization League.

• Select the right season

The first step is to make sure you're creating your calendar for the right season. To do this, use the drop-down menu in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

• Set the OFFICE parameters for your league or tournament

• Be sure to configure your league and tournament settings, which will help you get the scheduling process off to a good start. For more information, please refer toOffice Setting

• Ensure the field unavailability and availability are filled

Before proceeding with the creation of schedules, you must ensure that your organizations add their unavailability and availability on the sites. For more information on this subject, please consult the documentation. Set Field Availability

Practices won't go through the schedule creation process. They will be created directly in your office and placed on your fields. For more information on how to create practices, please consult the documentation Add and Change Practices

You'll need to choose the type of match you want:

1- Team matches: This method creates enough matches to meet the minimum number required for each team.

2-Total number of stages : This method generates matches up to the specified number of rounds, ensuring that at each stage, teams play a match.

This option should only be used if the number of teams is even.

Type: 3 schedule type choices that allow you to specify how matches will be determined.

1-Single: 1 match per stage or week depending on method selected.

2-Double: 2 matches per stage or week depending on method selection.

3-Matrix: Possible when the team matches method is selected.
