Number of Match Days

This allows for the number of match days to be set for the given round. It is only displayed for multi-day sports, like cricket. This value is used to create the round dates and times that you'll be able to change in the Round Date page.

Successive Dates

If the sport is a multi-day sport like cricket, then this will indicate that the match days fall on successive days. This value is used to create the round dates and times that you'll be able to change in the Round Date page.

Match Type

Sets the match type for the given round. See Fixture Types.

Venue OptionsWhen using the Home and Away Venue Allocation method and the round is a finals round, an option will be displayed called "Set venue home team". This option indicates that for finals matches in this round, the venue is set to the Home team venue of the Team ending highest on the ladder. Not checking this box will mean that the finals match is not allocated a venue.

Venue Allocation Options

Process in Grade Sort Order

  • If checked, matches will be processed in date order, grade by grade, in the order they appear in the Grade Management screen.
    For example, all "A Grade" matches for the season, then all "B Grade" matches for example, etc. 
  • If unchecked, matches are selected at random (but in date order). Randomising the order means that that lower grades may get to have matches in "better" slots i.e. the process doesn't allocate them exclusively to higher grades.

Consider Club Preferences - This is a future enhancement and is not active at the moment.

Default Fixture Slots

These slots will be used for any grades that have no fixture slots set up in the Grade Season Settings screen.

Default Venues

For any Fixture Slot marked with "Any Venue", the venue will be selected from this list.
