Draw setup

Each SKED competition has a relationship to a Team Entry Form, created in either TeamBuilder or SKED. Completion of the Team Entry Form by affiliated clubs and schools included in that competition will automatically create a team that appears in both the competition owner’s SKED and TeamBuilder. To add a new competition, refer to Competition setup.

When a Team Entry Form has been assigned to affiliated clubs/schools for creating teams at their own organisation, those teams will appear with the club/school logo belonging to them. For local or social competitions where teams enter directly to the competition owner, teams will appear with the competition owner’s logo.

Visibility of club/school logos will assist SKED users in determining the number of teams from each organisation within the same grade. Hovering over a team icon displays the organisation and team name.

 

Adding a team to a competition from within SKED

As well as being created automatically when the Team Entry Form is completed, teams can also be created manually within SKED by the competition owner. So if a club notifies you of a late team entry after the closing date has passed, you can create their team for them.

  1. Click + Add Team and complete the details.
  2. If the Team Entry Form has been assigned to multiple organisations, select the club/school the team belongs to.

 

Separating teams into sections or grades

Teams may need to be separated into sections (pools) within a grade, based on the number of team entries and the period over which the competition phase will run.

SKED will automatically create the required number of sections, based on the number of team entries and the number of teams per draw as set in Grade Settings, at the time the phase is created.

To put teams into sections, there are three options:

  1. Click Go to distribute all the teams on the left into the sections on the right.
  2. Drag & drop teams into sections, or between sections.
  3. Apply a seeding to each team to predetermine which section they’ll compete in. See Seeding Teams.
