  • 2015/2016, that is any competition running from within the dates July 1 and June 30

...

  • A Calendar Season i.e.

  • 2016, that is any season running within the dates January 1 to December 31.

  • Create and manage list of seasons.
  • Data rollover to save time create not much changing in establishing grades, draws, ladder, team settings, etc.
