For a division to be scheduled in the Traveling Schedule format, "Use Traveling League Scheduler" must be set on the Divisions page. The Traveling League Scheduler will use any home court assignments that fit the criteria. The home team league/club in a traveling league is usually responsible for assigning court slots for home games. This is best done before the district Match Secretary creates the schedule using the Assign Courts option. Otherwise, the assignments will have to be done on a game by game basis using either "Edit Game" or "Court To Be Determined on the View Court Usage page.

To assign courts go to Manage Courts > Assign Courts. You can assign courts by day of the week, time slot, and age group suitability. If you assign a court to be available on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, then it is assumed the court is available for all Saturdays of the competition. If there are exceptions, you may specify specific dates when the court is NOT available in the "Blackout Dates" box.

If the court is available only on a few specific dates, you may specify "<none>" in the "Day Available" box and list the specific dates it IS available in the "Extra Dates" box. You may also use this box to specify a few dates that do not fall on the normal "Day Available" - for example if you have arranged to have a court available for games on one or two Sundays during the competition and the competition will be scheduling Sunday games as well as Saturday games. If the times on Sunday differ from the Saturday times, however, you will have to handle this as a separate court assignment.

You can set the age range (low and high age suitability) for which the assignment will be used by the Traveling League Scheduler.

If an assignment shows up with no "Edit" button it indicates that the assignment has already been used, and at least one game was scheduled for play on that court during the assigned times. In this case you can no longer modify the assignment -- you ARE allowed to delete the assignment so future scheduling will not use time from this assignment. However, this does NOT recover time already assigned - if you need to do this you must edit the games which use this court to put them on other courts. You may find them by going the "View Court Usage" link from your home page.

If games are deleted, postponed, or cancelled that were scheduled using a court assignment, the times the games used will be returned to the court assignment. Thus the times will be available if additional games are scheduled for that competition.

If you want to guarantee that a particular court slot is shared by two age groups, you can use the blackout dates feature. For example, if you have an early morning slot like 8:00 am on a court, and you want to make sure that both U-12 and U-16 get some games assigned to that slot, you can first assign the slot to U-12 with odd dates blacked out, and then assign the same slot to U-16 with the even dates blacked out

Note: If no assignments (or too few assignments) have been made by one or more leagues when the schedule is created, some or all of the games will be scheduled without a court or starting time. Then it is up to officials in the appropriate league(s) to go in (via their View Court Usage page) and edit the games manually to assign courts and times. Alternatively, if assignments are made before games are played, the division can be re-scheduled. If no teams have been added or removed from the division, the same games will be scheduled, using the newly entered court assignments.
