Sporty is the official provider for Netball NZ, Touch NZ, NZ Football, NZ Rugby League and many other sports organisations. Most draws and results in New Zealand are managed s using the competition management system from Sporty called 'SKED' ('sked' is the shortened term for 'schedule').
It is easy for sports clubs and schools to display a live feed of draws and results of just their own fixtures directly on their own website from Sporty if they wish. See also: Public display of draws, results and standings – Sporty Online Support Centre (sportsground.com)
To get started, login to your Sporty website. Navigate to the page where you'd like your draws and results to display and click +ADD CONTENT to open the Widget menu. Then select the Draws & Results widget.
Filters
The widget modal will open to the Filters menu.
- Select a Sport and Season (Note: only sports that your organisation have been set up for will be included in this list.)
- Select the Owner of the SKED widget you are wanting to display
- Select which competitions and grades you would like to display in the widget
You can further customise the widget to reduce the number of organisations available for the public to select from, or to restrict the results to only your organisation by changing the Organisations filter. All organisations are selected by default, though you can use the 'Select all' checkbox to deselect all organisations. Then simply find your club/school within the list and tick the checkbox to turn it on.
Note: When you are selecting the Grades, Competition, and Organisation, there can be a short delay while the options are being populated.
The Draws Widget display is fully customisable. You can remove the filters from public display by checking the hide filter options next to each filter type. For example, if your widget displays a singular grade this does not need to be displayed for user selection.
If you choose to select multiple competitions to display in the Widget, you can also select the order that the competitions will appear to users by clicking Set Sort Order. You can now drag & drop the selected competitions into the order you wish for them to appear on the widget dropdown.
Display
The Display menu provides you with an option to customise how the returned fixture information should be displayed on your site.
Draws, Results, and Standings
You can choose to display draws, results, and standings in one widget, or alternatively to only display one or two of these items.
Title Bar
You can hide the Title Bar if you do not want this displayed. This would most likely be unchecked if you were displaying a singular tab (draws/results/standings) and you do not wish to give the public an option to filter or amend the displayed results. In the example below, the Date Range filters are also hidden.
Logos and Team Names
You can hide Logos or Org/Team Names if you do not want these to be displayed. You can also decide what size the logos should be by selecting the Regular or Large option in the ‘Size’ section.
Time & Date and Venues
You can hide the fixture time and date if you do not want these displayed. This may be pertinent if your draw is only displaying results.
For/Against/Diff
You can hide the points for, points against, and points differential from displaying on the standings table.
Note: These fields will only display on mobile view if 'Org/Team Name' is hidden.
Size
You can choose to set a default height for the widget to ensure that your page remains visually balanced when you display a draws widget. To do this, select the Custom option and specify the pixel height for the widget. When viewing your site users will be presented with an option to display 'more' or 'less' of the draw to display all fixtures.
Set Draws Sort Order
You can set order of draws by Grade or Time. Click on Sort by Time in the top right corner to change the sort order.
Styling
The Style menu provides you with design elements that can be applied to your widget to change the look and feel of the returned fixture information on your site.
Title Bar
You can set the Title Bar colour which applies to the ‘Draws’, ‘Results’, and ‘Standings’ tabs. The filter options and widget tabs will inherit a ‘reversal’ of this colour, with the background colour being applied to the text instead.
By default, the widget automatically inherits your site wide font and font colour, with a fully transparent background. These can be changed to suit your design requirements.
Clickable Links
If the location is set in SKED, the venue becomes clickable to show a Google map of the location.
The scores on the Results tab are also clickable to show the breakdown of the points per period.
