Add Game Dates Manually

Once Locations and Surfaces have been added, you can then add Games to the system. There are a variety of methods available to expose game dates on Team Pages, the Mobile App, or the Referee Management System. This article covers the manual management process. 

  1. In the Schedules > Season view, select the applicable competition and season. On the Report menu select Game Schedules.

  2. Click the + icon in the mini-menu to manually add a game

  3. Indicate the grouping, date/time, location, teams, game duration and game number. Use the event information field to include any game or venue specific details. This information will be displayed to team members via Team Calendar and on the Demosphere mobile app. Once complete, click Add

    Note: Groupings, locations, and teams must already exist within the system to enter games manually.

Game Conflict Identification

If attempting to manually add a game for teams that represent a conflict, you will not be able to complete the addition of the game until the conflict is resolved. Site-wide system verifications will run when setting any combinations of location/surface, date, time, and durations to check if any conflict exists with previously scheduled games and training/practice events. 

When manually adding game details from Schedules > Season > Add a Game if any values result in conflict, the value will display a red highlighted border with text reading “Current value will create a conflict”. The Add button will be grayed out until all conflict values have been resolved/changed to ensure game details do not clash with existing scheduled play or trainings/practices. 

 

Timezones

Note:  When manually adding, editing, or importing games, the time zone will display based on the game’s location. This timezone value is determined via the Google Maps API when saving/inputting the location address. i.e. A 10:00 AM PST game played at a location in Seattle, WA will display to a user in New York, NY with a 1:00 PM EST game time. If another user is in Chicago, IL viewing the same game’s details, then it will show them a 12:00 PM CST game time.
