The draws & results for most team sports in New Zealand are managed using the competition management system from Sporty called 'SKED' (sked is the international abbreviation for schedule).
The Draws & Results widget lets you easily display your draw on your Sporty website. Anyone visiting your site can then see your upcoming games and past results, similar to this:

The competition at the top of the sort order will display by default when the page loads.

Display of the Draws & Results widget
The website visitor experience
- By default, when a visitor lands on your page, the widget will load the draw with the date set to display fixtures for the next upcoming published fixture date + 6 days, and submitted results from the last published fixture date that has a result entered back 6 days.
- Venues will appear with a hyperlink to allow website visitors to click to open a Google Maps view of the location of the fixture. The location is determined by the venue settings set up in SKED under Organisation Settings.
- Fixtures with a status of defaulted, cancelled or postponed will display this status instead of a venue.
- Standings will be presented for each grade as tabs for each phase it has participated in and by default will open to the phase that is currently in progress based on fixture dates with the ability to navigate between tabs to see prior phases standings tables.
Organisations can modify the logo displayed by accessing their own Sporty site, and then navigating to the Admin Settings area and adding a logo.
