Adding Courts to a Location

Courts represent the number of games that can run simultaneously at a location. A gym with 2 courts can host 2 games at the same time slot. You need at least one court before scheduling.

Steps to add courts

1. Click Locations & Courts in the sidebar (or go to /locations)
2. Click Add Court in the page header
3. Step 1 of 2: Select or create location
   • Choose Select Existing and pick a location from the list
   • Or choose Create New to add a location at the same time
4. Click Next
5. Step 2 of 2: Add courts and notes
   • Enter Number of Courts — how many games can run in parallel
   • Optionally add Notes about the venue
6. Click Add Courts to save

[!INFO] If you enter “2” for Number of Courts, MatchGrid knows this venue can host 2 simultaneous games and will schedule accordingly.

Alternative: edit an existing location

You can also add or change court count by editing a location:

1. Click on a location row to open the side panel
2. Click Edit Location
3. Find the Edit Courts section
4. Update the court count and save

Minimum requirement for scheduling

MatchGrid requires at least 1 court before you can generate a schedule. If you have locations but no courts, the setup checklist will prompt you to add courts.

[!TIP] If the dashboard says “Add Courts” but you’ve already added locations, go back to Locations & Courts and make sure each venue has a court count specified.

What’s next

Your core setup is complete once you have:

• A season with dates
• At least 2 enrolled teams
• At least 1 location with courts

You’re now ready to generate your first schedule.
