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 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 short name 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 belongs to a different league, first add the other league as an "affiliated organization" (See Add Affiliated Organizations ), and then add the court, setting the "Assigned To" court to that league.

You can assign court referee coordinators to a court. Assignments can only be made for games on that 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 Field Comments and Permit Dates appear on the Team Schedule page.

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

If a court is not available for scheduling, click Edit Courts and choose 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 .
