A season is a way of designating 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:
This page allows you to configure seasons and initiate a competition:
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. |
*These are typical start dates only, and do not affect when matches are actually played. |
This section allows past seasons to be added to the Association so that historical data (e.g. fixtures) can be entered.
To add a season, select Add season, select the new season and click the Add button.
If the season has already been added it is not added again. Seasons that have already commenced cannot be added here. The Current Season section must be used for this. |
This section enables all or partial season/competition settings from previous a season to be copied across to another (later) season.
Data that can be rolled over includes grade, draw, teams or fixture slots, etc.
