How do I generate a Fixture using Venue Time Allocation?

Overview

The Venue Time Allocation function allows you to automate how venues and times are allocated to matches within your competitions. This guide will walk you through configuring your competition days, allocating matches to time slots, and generating the final fixture.

What you'll need:

To use Venue Time Allocation, you need to have already completed the following prerequisites:

You have set up at least one Venue.
You have assigned Start Times to your Venue(s).
Your Competition has been created.

Step-by-Step

Step 1: Navigate to your Competition

First, you need to ensure your competition is set to run on the correct days.

In the main menu, open the Competitions option and click LIST COMPETITIONS

Click the VIEW (magnifying glass) icon for the competition you wish to generate the fixture for.

Step 2: Edit the Competition Configuration

Once you are on the main page for your competition, click the EDIT button next to Competition Configuration.

Step 3: Set the Competition Day(s)

Scroll down to the Days Competition Run section. Tick the checkbox for each day that matches for this competition should be played on. At least one day must be selected for the competition to appear in the allocation grid.

Step 4: Open the Venue Time Allocation tool

Now that the competition is configured, you can allocate the matches. Head back to your Association dashboard, then hover over the Competitions menu again and click on VENUE TIME ALLOCATION.

Step 5: Allocate the matches

Select the appropriate Competition Season and Day of the Week using the links at the top of the grid, then click VIEW ALLOCATION GRID

The system will display all unallocated matches for that day in the column on the left.

To schedule a match into a specific venue and time slot, simply click and drag it from the Unallocated list into an available time slot in the venue grid on the right. Changes are saved automatically.
