Creating a Season

A season defines the date range for your schedule. You must create a season before you can enroll teams and generate schedules.

[!TIP] If a warning appears about overlapping dates with another season, you can click Create Season again to proceed anyway.

Carry-forward options (optional)

If you already have previous seasons, the wizard may offer to carry forward:

  • Divisions
  • Teams
  • Blackouts
  • Scheduler rules

Keep these options enabled if your new season is similar to the previous one. Turn them off to start fresh.

After creating your season, you’ll need to:

  1. Add teams (see Adding a Team)
  2. Enroll teams into this season (see Enrolling Teams in a Season)
  3. Add locations and courts (see Adding a Location)
