3b. Scheduling league matches

Written by Nettla
Updated today

3a and 3b should be executed during the same time period

In order for league matches to be scheduled/played, your Nettla admin schedule needs to know what days, times, courts league matches should take place.

How do you know how many league slots you need in total?

Calculate:

  • Number of matches needed in a division
    ​Example: 6 teams = 15 unique matches

  • Multiple by number of divisions
    ​Example: 15 unique matches x 4 divisions = 60 total matches

When you know the total amount of league slots needed:

  1. Go to Calendar -> Schedule

  2. Go to the first date you want the matches to take place

  3. Select one or more courts with the match length you defined in round settings, e.g. 60 or 90 min. Do not select a longer duration than your setting.

  4. Select League match as booking type

  5. Select which League the slots are for

  6. Select Division if you want to make it specific (non mandatory)

  7. Turn on Recurring if you want the same day and time for the next few weeks

  8. Click Create

Tip: Schedule a few extra slots (in addition to the ones needed). Extra slots can be used by players to re-schedule their matches with their opponents.

Connecting the slots with individual matches:

If you used round setting:

Club pre-schedules all the matches

  • Go to Play -> Leagues -> The correct league -> Schedule

  • You will see a message here if enough slots are not available

  • Click on Auto-schedule matches

  • If you selected a specific division for certain slots, the auto-schedule mechanism takes that into account

All individual matches have now been assigned a match date, time, court.

  • Potential extra slots can be used for re-scheduling

  • Players may cancel their league match and book it in for another slot available for re-schedule purposes

  • Empty extra slots not taken auto-cancels by themselves, you have already set the Days before setting in your round settings

If you used round setting:

Players schedules matches themselves

  • After you have launched the round, players will be able to book these slots for league matches

  • Players may cancel their league match and book it in for another slot available for re-schedule purposes

  • Empty extra slots not taken auto-cancels by themselves, you have already set the Days before setting in your round settings
