Game times
Game times determine when matches are played in your league. Set them up correctly before creating a new round.
Booking times in MATCHi
Always book league times in MATCHi first, using the customer intended for league play and the booking type Competition.
Setting up court times in Backhandsmash
Court times are entered under Settings > Court times. It is easiest to use the same times every round, and only add or remove times when the league grows or shrinks.
Assigning groups
Make sure the number of court times matches your divisions. Each division needs times, and the right number per division. Indicate which fixtures each division should use in the first week by setting the Group on each fixture.
- Use the Rotate checkbox if divisions should swap times each week.
- Extra times are assigned to the group Extra time and should not be rotated.
Number of times
If everyone plays one match per week, you need one slot per two teams each week. For example, a division with 6 teams needs 3 slots per week.
It is possible to run fewer times per week so teams play less than once a week. The round then takes more weeks to complete. A different game template may be needed – contact MATCHi for assistance.
