A season is a way of designating 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 July 1 Jul* and 30 June 30.
  • A Calendar Season i.e. 2016, that is any season running within the dates 1 January 1 * to December 31. 

This page allows you to configure seasons and initiate a competition:

...

  • 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 list of seasons.
  • Data rollover to save time in establishing grades, draws, ladder, team settings, etc.

...

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.

Note
  • Setting current season for child organisations only applies if the current organisation is an Association (i.e. this function does not apply to Clubs).
  • Seasons normally last for a year, and span either the:
    • calendar year (e.g. 2016) that is deemed to start on 1 January*, or 
    • a crossover year (e.g. 2016/2017) that is deemed to start on 1 July*.

*These are typical start dates only, and do not affect when matches are actually played.

titleOrganisations requiring re-confirmation of roles - e.g. myCricket
  • If the system has been configured by your organisation or a parent organisation to require re-confirmation of roles (How can this be set in the system?), when you set the current season to a new season:

    A warning will display that this action will set the re-confirmation flags for applicable records (in most cases this would be PLAYER and UMPIRE roles).
    As a safeguard, any role that has been re-confirmed within the last 10 months will not have its flag set.
    • To confirm the action, check the Confirm checkbox.
    • If you wish to lock* the previous season (recommended) also check the Lock previous season checkbox
    • Click Update again
    • A message displays indicating the actions that were carried out, and the auto remove date (the date that triggers automatic removal if not reconfirmed) is displayed.

*Locking a season will prevent:

        • changing teams within the grade.
        • editing ladder configuration.
        • editing pools configuration.
        • changing the calculated ladders - manual ladders cannot be entered, automatic ladders will not be recalculated.
        • adding or modifying ladder adjustments.
        • editing the draw/fixture.

  • Seasons are not unlocked by changing the season back to an earlier one. In this case, please edit the Grade and unlock via the Seasons settings screen
