Adding pitches
In this help guide, we will cover how to add pitches and coordinates for the exact location of the pitches.
How to add pitches:
Left menu: Tournament, Top menu: Pitches:
There are 3 different tabs in the Pitches menu:
Pitches
- Columns explained:
- Code = Each pitch code must be unique and can't include special characters or spaces. For example: 'pitch01', 'pitch02', 'pitch03'...
- Please note that the pitch code cannot be the same as the area code. For example, if pitch code=1, area code=1, it will lead to issues.
- Pitch codes cannot be renamed on the admin site, so please pay attention to them.
- Name = General names like 'Pitch 01' or 'Pitch 02' are acceptable.
- Area = The area code where the pitch is located. If your tournament is held at one venue, no need to use different area codes. If you accidentally created too many pitches, use '0' as the area code.
- A new line will appear where you can enter another pitch. Repeat until all pitches are added.
- Click Save (bottom right corner).
- Code = Each pitch code must be unique and can't include special characters or spaces. For example: 'pitch01', 'pitch02', 'pitch03'...
Example when pitches are at just one venue.
Area
- If you're having pitches in different areas, assign different values for each area.
This way, you are able to, for example, filter pitches by their areas when scheduling matches.
Overview
Once you have added the pitches, you are able to set restrictions for the scheduling. For example, if a pitch is available from 8 to 22.
Adding detailed locations and coordinates
Maps are currently available for the following countries and are activated automatically when the street address, postal code, and city are added. Coordinates can be added to use the exact location.
- UK
- Switzerland
- Australia
- Iceland
The easiest way to pinpoint the exact location of a pitch is by getting the coordinates, for example, from Google Maps and adding them for each pitch.
Without coordinates, the address, postal code, and city must be added. However, with the coordinates, the exact location is precise, as shown in the example below:
