To create these draws the Copy Draw function must be used with the Reserve Reverse option selected for the draws to be copied. Please see the help page for Copy Draw.

Grades with multiple team entries from the same organisation

Occasionally a grade will need to contain two teams from the same organisation (club). In this case, there needs to be a way to distinguish these teams wherever the draw, match or ladder is displayed. This is achieved by using the options in the Team Settings page to designate different display and media names for the teams.

Adding multiple teams from the same organisation is easy and is done via the "Allocate Teams to Grade" screen screen. On the left hand side for of the screen will be , a list of organisations that can add teams to the grade is displayed. Simply add the same organisation as many times as required.

When this happens adding the same organisation name, a message will be displayed at the bottom of the screen as follows:

...

You will then be required to change the Team (Display) Name and Team Media Name in the Team Settings page so that the teams from the same organisation have different names. Otherwise on saving this screen you will see the error message below, on Update, the following error message will display:

In the example below there are two teams in this grade entered from Hampton and the user has named them "Hampton Blue" and "Hampton Black". The name can be whatever you like as long as they are different.Team (Display) names must be unique.

Fixtures with venue/ground shares

Where you have teams in the same grade or across multiple grades that share a home venue, you therefore need to ensure that they are alternating match by match as either the home or away team to avoid scheduling at the same venue at the same time.

The Draw Creator can accommodate this via its a built-in Fixture Type of "Enhanced Round Robin". See Draw Creator - Concepts - Fixtures TypesTemplates for . See Fixture Templates above for more information on this.

...

1. Select the teams that are in the grade(s) via the "Allocate Teams to Grade" screen screen.
2. Go to the "Team Settings" page screen and define a default home ground for each of the teams (also set the default start time for teams that require it, and set the Draw Seed if you need to control the order of matches).
3. Start the Draw Creator and select "Round Robin" as  as the Draw Type and select a fixture template from the Fixture Type drop down dropdown box (Enhanced Round Robin will suffice for most situations).
   Click on the :More information" link  link next to the fixture type drop down dropdown box and select the "Enhanced Round Robin" fixture  fixture type. Take note of the "Pairs" table for each team entry situation.
4. Set the Venue Allocation method to "Use default home grounds".
