SKED competitions can be created with any selection of grades. It is advisable to include all grades that will be competing on the same playing day, to optimise venue utilisation and movement of games to preferred venues using the Venue View.
There’s no requirement for each grade within a competition to follow the same format. For example, one grade might play a double round-robin before semi-finals and finals, whereas another might split into top/bottom sections in round two and then progress to semi-finals and finals.
Creating a competition in SKED will also create the Team Entry form in TeamBuilder.
For more on creating a competition in TeamBuilder, see this article.
Creating a Competition
1. Log in to your Sporty Site, go to your Dashboard, then click the SKED tile.
2. Select the year/season you want to create the competition for and click + to open the Add Competition modal. You can choose an existing folder to store the new competition in, or you’ll be required to choose or create one when you save the new competition.
3. Complete the details in the Competition modal (see fields below), then click Save & Continue to select a competition folder.
Competition details fields:
Competition Name - enter the name of the competition.
Select a Player Form - The player form associated with a competition would normally be the registration form (Superform) supplied by your national body, which would typically be applied to your site in advance of a new season getting underway. Note that only a Superform will allow the use of a Game Day App as this is required to generate a Team Access Code for each team to use for scoring purposes.
Team Entry Form Name - this is auto-populated from the name of the competition. Update it manually by editing the Team Entry Form once it’s created in TeamBuilder. For more on creating a competition in TeamBuilder, see this article.
Grades - select which grades this competition will include.
Select Organisations - select which organisations are allowed to enter the competition. If any new organisations sign up after the competition has been created, the competition will need to be edited to include them. Organisations can be restricted to particular sectors. For example Primary, Intermediate or High Schools, or Clubs. This simplifies registration, so organisations only see the competitions relevant to them in their TeamBuilder.
Display Organisation Names - untick this to display only the team names in SKED and on draws. When ticked, the Organisation Name displays, followed by the team name.
Venues - select or deselect the venues where the competition will be held. This option becomes available once the competition name has been entered. For more on shared or sport-specific venues, see this article.
