Copying a Competition

This feature lets you copy an existing competition while retaining the same grades, organisations, and team entry questions - eliminating the need to create a competition from scratch and manually select grades and organisations.

Once the competition is copied, you can:

  • Modify any of the questions on the associated Team Entry Form, if needed.
  • View the new Team Entry Form, which will automatically appear in TeamBuilder.

You might use this feature to:

  • Copy a competition within the same season where new teams will register. For example, if you’re running a competition in Term 1 and want to use the same format for Term 4, but different teams will enter the new competition.
  • Copy a competition within the same season where the same teams will play. For example, if you’re running a competition in Term 1 and want to use the same format for Term 2, with the same teams playing in both competitions.
  • Copy a competition from one year to the next. For example, running the same format next season as this season. In this case, ensure the Player Registration Form (Superform) for the next season is applied before copying the competition.

Copying the competition for the next season

The Copy Competition modal differs depending on whether the Player Registration Form (Superform) for the next season has been created and applied to your organisation.

View 1: The Player Registration Form (Superform) has been applied for the next season.

View 2: The Player Registration Form (Superform) has not been applied for the next season. In this case, a warning message is displayed and the competition is prevented from being copied.

Otherwise (View 1), optionally untick Retain administrators on new competition if you don’t want the current administrators copied to the new competition. In most cases, you’d retain administrators on the new competition.

Click Copy, then Review/Modify the copied competition before clicking Save & Continue.

 

Review/Modify the Copy

The copied competition is pre-populated with the information from the original competition. You can review the settings of the new competition and modify them as necessary. Click into each field or drop-down option to make changes as needed.

Field: Select a Player Form...

This field is automatically populated with the Player Form used to set up the original competition.

Field: Team Entry Form Name

  • By default, the original Team Entry Form name with “(Copy)” added is displayed. Click into the field to edit the name.
  • Any extra question fields and products (including groups, triggers, and rules) from the original competition’s Team Entry Form will be copied to the new Team Entry Form.
  • A new Team Entry Form name won’t need to be set if you’re copying the competition to the same season and copying the existing teams to the new competition.

Click Save & Continue, then select a folder to save the copied competition in and click Copy Competition.
