Under the Entities option in the left menu bar, you will edit information about your clubs’ venues. You will want to start with adding or editing venue information as this is needed before creating teams and competitions.
The goal of standardizing the venue setup is to create a national list of venues that is searchable but club, site name, and address. Things to remember:
- A club may have more than one pitch. It may be two fields within a park, or two completely separate locations.
-
A pitch may host more than one club, such as sharing between men’s and women’s teams or a club sharing with a high school. Each should have it’s own venue so that it is searchable.
Creating a Venue
To create a venue, you will need the club/team name, the pitch name, the time zone, and the pitch address.
Venue – The naming convention should include the team, a dash, and the pitch name (see above). DO NOT include “Rugby” or “RFC” as part of the team name as this is understood. DO include “Rugby” if the pitch name includes it. Exceptions to the naming convention may include:
-
Playoff pitches such as CGRU Playoffs Field A
Time Zone – The large majority should fall under New York, Chicago, Denver, or Los Angeles. There will be some locations that don’t follow the standard time zones and daylight savings such as Arizona and Hawaii. DO NOT use Cancun, Costa Rica, Vancouver, Mexico City or any other non-US location.
Address – Use the full address include street name and number. This is used to populate the map.
