See Note 1 Below!Note 1: The default is to show you the Matches in your future. (Date > Yesterday in the date comparator box.) If your Match has NO date assigned to it, the date comparator will NOT find your Match. Make the date comparator box blank to see ALL Matches - including those with no dates. Note 2: You can not change a match date without the agreement of your opponent. All divisions with an odd number of teams get byes. Just because you have an open weekend, does not mean that your opponent does. Note 3: Only TeamStaff from the HOME team can edit the match time, date or field. Note 4: The default is to show you the Matches in your future. (Date > Yesterday in the date comparator box.) So, if you need to change the date of a Match that was supposed to be played last week, but wasn't (say due to a rainout), you can find that Match by changing the date in the comparator box - say to > 9/1/2000. Note 5: If you make a change within -23 days of the Match, Notices of the change will be generated for the Primary Contact of your team. Notices are NOT automatically emailed. A Notice appears when the User logs on to the website. Changes made for a Match more than -23 days in future, will be reflected on the website, but NO NOTICE is generated. Note 6: Common courtesy requires that you positively confirm via a phone call or an acknowledged email that your opponent is aware of the match time, date and field. Most of the Playing Leagues require posting of the match date, time and field at least 7 days prior. You must visit the Playing League website to communicate the change to your opponent! Note 7: If your field is not in the pulldown, find the address of the field in Google Maps and send that information to the webmaster Note 8: Times are restricted to 7 am to 11 pm. Note 9: You can edit the Date. Click Update and the available TimeSlots for the new date will appear in the dropdown. Grayed out TimeSlots are not visible due to unfavorable comparison of Team Priority to TimeSlot Priority. Note 10: To see all the TimeSlots, visit TeamStaff:TimeSlots Note 11: If Referee(s) have been assigned to your Match, you can no longer change the Date, Time or Field for the Match. You can ReSchedule the Match which will Cancel the old Match and generate a New Match. Some Clubs impose fines for last minute changes after Referees have been assigned. . Updated 5/12/14 |
