Mode: Competition Management Menu: Competition >> Seasons settings |
This page allows you to configure seasons and initiate competition:
- Set current season as default filter for all pages within own organisation or child affiliates
- Create and manage list of seasons
- Data rollover to save time create not much changing grades, draws, ladder, team settings etc
Current seasons
- Select the season - the list is restricted to the season(s) that are in progress**, and seasons from up to a year ago.
- Click Update
- Setting current season for child organisations only applies if the current organisation is an association and does not apply to clubs
- 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 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 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.
Season List
This section allows past seasons to be added to the association so that historical data (eg fixtures) can be entered.
- To add a season select it from the Add season dropdown and click the Add button. If the season has already been added it is not added again. Seasons which have already commenced cannot be added here, the Current Season tab must be used for this.
- To remove a season click the Delete link next to the season. Seasons cannot be removed once matches have been created within that season.
Data Rollover
This section enables system administrator options to copy partial or the entire season/competition settings from previous season across for example, grade, draw, teams or fixture slots etc...
