This screen allows teams to be allocated to a particular grade for a particular season.

Allocating teams

1. Select the season and grade from the selector bar and click the Go button.
2. If the are no allocations for the selected Grade/Season, the team type can be changed from the Populate available list from drop down list. Select either Child Organisations or Teams within the current organisation. If there are current allocations for the selected Grade/Season, the team type cannot be changed unless all clubs/grades are first removed.

Types of teams

Two different 'types' of teams can be assigned (see below for further information about types of teams), although these types cannot be mixed in a particular grade/season., although these types cannot be mixed in a particular grade/season.

• Child Organisation teams - these are teams that relate to separate organisations which are affilated to the organisation that manages the competition. These organisations are related in some way to the current organisation via a hierarchy - for example, the clubs that are affiliated with an association. Once organisations have been affiliated (please contact support for this), these type of teams are created via the Allocate teams to grade screen (part of Grade Management), in which a participating organisation (e.g. a club) is assigned to a particular grade for a particular season. These types of teams are used where a competition is run by an managing organisation (e.g. associations) between participating child organisations (e.g. clubs) which are affiliated with the managing organisation. Participating organisations can log in to the system and usually have the responsibility to manage/select the team selections for each match, and would usually select the teams each week from players in their player list, or squads. By default, the team name is that of the participating organisation (e.g. the club name), however this can be changed via the Maintain team settings screen. It is also possible for the same club to field multiple teams within the same grade/season.
  Example: 
  Association A runs competitions between its member clubs C1,C2,C3 and so on. From year to year, the same clubs tend to enter teams in the competitions. The Association would set the competitions up as Child Organisation  teams. Each club can then log in and enter results. The association reviews results (or can optionally enter results on behalf of one or more clubs).

• Entity Teams (also known as 'Teams within the current organisation) - these teams are created within the managing organisation (e.g. association) itself, and have no relationship to another organisation. These type of teams are typically used by organisations running tournaments or competitions where the teams are transient in nature (e.g. change year to year), or the teams cannot be thought of as belong to an organisation (e.g club). These teams can only be created via the Entity Team Management screen. The Allocate teams to grade screen is then used (as above) to allocate teams once they have been created. As there is no participation from other organisations, the managing organisation is responsible for all data entry (e.g. team selections, scores etc). 
  Example: Association A runs annual tournaments or ad-hoc competitions where teams are entered every season. The teams often have different names and participants from year to year, and there are no 'clubs' behind the teams. The association would set the competitions up as Teams within the current organisation. The association enters all results.
