Adding Teams

This covers how to enter teams through the software.  Teams can also be automatically registered by sales through the POS system without any interaction by you.  This is the preferred method as it will invoice the team and also track payment information for you.

When creating teams, it is important to understand when and how to re-use a pre-existing team in your system.  Selecting and re-using a team is essential to keep the proper history and record tracking.  Not only does our system track league and season leaders, but we will also track team leaders and records.  If you have a men’s team that constantly plays every season, you should only create that team once and then re-use them in every subsequent season.  Below will depict how to go about this process.

Step 1

Go to Leagues and Seasons -> Teams from the main menu

Step 2

Select "Teams By Season" in the center of the screen.  Then choose the appropriate season from the Season drop down.

Step 3

Select Add new teams to season at the bottom center of the screen

Step 4

Type in your team’s name.  Upon typing, the software will automatically search previous teams in the system.  If you think the team has played there before, only type the 4-5 characters of the name and allow the software to retrieve the team for you.  If they exist, please select them from the list.  If they do not exist, continue to type out the entire name of the team.

Step 5a

If the team exists in your system and you selected them from the list, you will be presented with the following screen.  You have the option to automatically import the previous season’s roster with the team.  This can be a time saver if there are only a few minor additions/deletions.  You can go into the roster later and make these small amount of changes.

Step 5b

If the team is new, select the Team not found, Create new button.  You will be presented with the following screen.   Please fill in as much information as possible.  If you have a travel league and your teams have their own websites, the team colors are used to display team specific information on their sites.  The web API for your account can be used at multiple sites!

Step 6

Click add for step 5a or add team to queue for step 5b.

Step 7

Your teams are placed in a holding queue.  When you are finally done adding all the teams, please click Save.
