Current Season

This tab allows you to set the current season of your organisation and its child organisations*. The current season is selected as a default in most pages (both admin and public) that have a season dropdown list within the selector bar. Before you can do other setup such as creating fixtures etc, you must set the current season.A season is a way for Associations to designate a competition to a time period that ultimately ends up in a finals series and winner.

 

There can be several seasons set up for each calendar year.  By default, two seasons for each year are created:

  • A Crossover Season i.e. 2015/2016, that is any competition running from within the dates 1 Jul* and 30 June.
  • A Calendar Season i.e. 2016, that is any season running within the dates 1 January* to 31 December. 
    *These are typical start dates only, and do not affect when matches are actually played.

 

Configure seasons as follows:

  • Set the current season.
  • Create and manage the Season List.
  • Data rollover to save time in establishing grades, ladders, draws, teams, team settings, squads and fixtures.

Tip

At some point before the commencement of the first round (preferably about a month before), the Association should also set the current season for all affiliated Clubs. This is done by clicking the Set Current button.

Typically, an Association sets its own season, carries out team setup, completes draw creation etc, and then sets the Clubs' current seasons. This is to avoid setting the Club season too early where no matches have been set up yet.

info

*

Setting current season for child organisations only applies if the current organisation is an association and does not apply to parent organisations.
**Seasons normally last for a year, and span either the calendar year (eg 2008) which are deemed to start on 1 January, or a crossover of years (eg 2007/2008) which are deemed to start on 1 July. Note that these are nominal start dates only, and do not affect when matches are actually played.

At some point before the commencment of the first round (preferably about a month before) the association should also set the current season for all affiliated clubs. This is done by clicking the Go button. The normal course of events is for the association to set is own season, carry out team setup, draw creation etc, and then to set the clubs current seasons. This is to avoid setting the club season too early to a season where no matches have been set up yet.
