Add and Edit Courts

Each league must add its courts into the system. This is something that is typically done only once -- after that the courts are in your database. To add a court, click on Manage Courts from the User Home Page. You'll see a list of your courts, and at the bottom of the page is a form to add a new court.

A few notes on adding new courts:

1. Be sure the court abbreviation is no more than 25 characters -- this is the name that is usually shown, and it should be readable but short.

2. Do NOT leave out the short name. If you do, the court name will be blank on drop down lists.

3. If the court is used by a different league, and the other league is not an "affiliated organization" (See Add Affiliated Organizations ), then ask our support team to "share" the court with that league (See Sub-Courts and Sharing Courts). That way both leagues can use the court and our system can detect/avoid court conflicts between games in the two leagues.

If you have a large court complex, you need to enter each court separately. This is necessary so that the scheduling logic can properly detect court conflicts, and so that teams and referees know which court to go to.

If a court is sometimes split into smaller courts, you need to enter each smaller court separately, but you need too make the smaller courts a "sub-court" of the larger court (See Sub-Courts and Sharing Courts). This is also necessary so that the system can properly detect court conflicts, and so that teams and referees know which court to go to.

You can assign court referee coordinators to a court. Those coordinators can only make assignments for games on their court.

It is strongly recommended that you enter directions for courts. The Team Schedule page displays directions to any court on that schedule. When you enter directions, use "<br>" to indicate a new line. You can put in other HTML formatting tags, if you know some HTML, or you can get your webmaster to help you if you want. For more information on HTML go to A Quick Primer on HTML Tags. You can also embed interactive maps into your directions. See Embedding Maps into Directions.

Comments will appear in italics after the directions. Practice Venue Comments and Permit Dates appear on the Team Schedule page.


If a court is not available for scheduling, click Manage Courts and click on "Edit"" next to the court. Click at the bottom of the form. This will remove it from the visible courts list. You can reinstate the court later by editing the court again, clicking also show unavailable courts, and clicking .
