Each SKED competition has a relationship to a Team Entry form created in either TeamBuider or in SKED. Completion of the Team Entry form by affiliated clubs and schools that have been included in the Team Entry form competition, will automatically create a team that will appear in both the competition owners 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, they 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 SKED owners logo.
Visibility of club/school logos will assist SKED users in determining the number of teams from each organisation within a the same grade. Hovering over a team icon displays the organisation and team name.
Adding a team to a competition from within SKED
In addition to teams coming directly into SKED following completion of the Team Entry form, they can also be manually created from within SKED by the competition owner. Therefore, if a club notifies you of a late team entry after the closing date has passed, you can create their team for them.
Click +Add Team and complete the details. 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 upon the number of team entries and the number of teams per draw as set in the grade settings area, 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 will compete within. Refer to Seeding Teams
