Each league must add its venues into the system. This is something that is typically done only once -- after that the venues are in your database. To add a venue, click on Manage Venues from the User Home Page. You'll see a list of your venues, and at the bottom of the page is a form to add a new venue.

A few notes on adding new venues:

1. Be sure the venue abbreviation is no more than 25 characters -- this is the name that is usually shown, and it should be readable but short.

2. Do NOT leave out the short name. If you do, the venue name will be blank on drop down lists.

3. If the venue is used by a different league, and the other league is not an "affiliated organization" (See Add Affiliated Organizations ), then ask our support team to "share" the venue with that league (See Sub-Venues and Sharing Venues). That way both leagues can use the venue and our system can detect/avoid venue conflicts between games in the two leagues.

If you have a large venue complex, you need to enter each venue separately. This is necessary so that the scheduling logic can properly detect venue conflicts, and so that teams and officials know which venue to go to.

If a venue is sometimes split into smaller venues, you need to enter each smaller venue separately, but you need too make the smaller venues a "sub-venue" of the larger venue (See Sub-Venues and Sharing Venues). This is also necessary so that the system can properly detect venue conflicts, and so that teams and officials know which venue to go to.

You can assign venue official coordinators to a venue. Those coordinators can only make assignments for games on their venue.

It is strongly recommended that you enter directions for venues. The Team Schedule page displays directions to any venue on that schedule. When you enter directions, use "<br>" to indicate a new line. You can put in other HTML formatting tags, if you know some HTML, or you can get your webmaster to help you if you want. For more information on HTML go to A Quick Primer on HTML Tags. You can also embed interactive maps into your directions. See Embedding Maps into Directions.

Comments will appear in italics after the directions. Practice Venue Comments and Permit Dates appear on the Team Schedule page.


If a venue is not available for scheduling, click Manage Venues and click on "Edit"" next to the venue. Click at the bottom of the form. This will remove it from the visible venues list. You can reinstate the venue later by editing the venue again, clicking also show unavailable venues, and clicking .
