The League and Team Manager page is only available to organization officials and is suitable for sports clubs competing in competitions. Officials (e.g. Team Captains) can set up the team types, teams, divisions and seasons for their club, then enter their fixtures, select the teams and record their match results. The match results are automatically available to view in the public area of the site so that other club members and interested parties can follow your team's progress.
Each of the pages in the League and Team Management section is similar in format. It has three sections, accessible by links across the top of the page:
- Search
- Search Results
- Editor
Search
The search section will allow you to quickly find an existing item you are looking for.
Example: in the Team Type Management Page, click on the Search for Team Type link; you are presented with the Search box. Enter your search term (e.g. "ladies") and click the Search button. You will be taken to the Search Results section where all existing Team Types matching your search ("ladies") will be displayed. Click the Search for Team Type link again; you return to the Search box. This time click the Show All button; you will be taken to the Search Results section with no filtering, so all existing Team Types will be displayed.
Search Results
Here all the items matching your search criteria are displayed in a table. If you did not specify any search criteria or if you clicked the Show All button, all the items from the database will be displayed. If there are more than ten results, they will be displayed on multiple pages. You can click the column headings to sort the table.
Deleting Items
To delete an item from the database, select the appropriate checkbox from the Delete column, then click the Delete Selected link which appears to the right above the table. If possible your item will be deleted and this will be confirmed by a message on the screen. It is not always possible to delete an item if it is being used by other parts of the database.
Editing Existing Items
To edit an existing item, click the Edit link within the table. You will be taken to the Editor section.
Editor
In the editor you can add a new item or edit an existing item. To add a new item, click the Add New link at the top of the page; the Editor will appear with a clean form. To edit an existing item, find the item in the Search Results table and click on the Edit link; the Editor will appear with the current item details completed.
When you have finished completing the item details click Save to save the item. You will be taken back to the Search Results section and your new item details will appear in the table. To return to the table without saving changes, click the Cancel button.

Teams Management
Use this to add a new team if not already set up by your club. Please always check the existing teams in the Team Search Results table to make sure your team is not already there. If you are sure you need to add a new team click the Add New Team link.
Enter the Team Name (e.g. Men's 3rd Team) and then select the Team Type from the drop-down box (e.g. Men's Doubles 2-Pair League).
N.B. If the correct team type does not appear in the drop-down box you will need to go back the Team Type Management page to set it up.
Back to Top
Division Management
You will only need to set up a new division, if your team is placed in a division that is not in the list.
Click Add New Division link and you will be taken to the Editor.
Division Character
If your divisions are categorized by numbers or alphabetic characters, enter your character or number in the box.
Region
If your divisions are divided into East and West regions e.g. Surrey East or Surrey West, select your region (East of West) from the drop-down box.
Division Name
Enter the proper name for your division e.g. Surrey East Division M.

League Season Management
At the beginning of each new competing season, someone from your club will need to set up the Season. Please check whether this has been done by searching for the season in the Results table.
If you have more than one season per year, e.g. Summer and Winter, you will need to specify if it is a summer season by checking the box. Otherwise, just the year will do. A typical season name would be "Winter 2006-2007".

Score Units Management
The score units depend on how you wish to record the scores for your particular sport and competition. There is only one set of score units per club and this should only need to be set up once.
Here you set up the Units in which you wish to record your match results. E.g. in a tennis league you might set up Rubbers, Sets and Games; in a football league you might set up Goals or Points.
The Rank sets how important a Unit is with the lowest number being the most important e.g. in tennis the rubbers count for more than the sets which in turn count for more than the games so you would rank the rubbers with the lowest number, 10 say, then sets would be ranked 20 and games 30.
N.B. It is good practice to use multiples of 10 for your ranks in case you need to insert a new Unit in between two others e.g. to rank a unit above 20 but below 10 use 15.
The score units will be used to record your match results.

Team Details Management
At the beginning of each season, the team captain should set up the Team Details. This involves matching up the team with the season, division and captain. This information must be set up before the match results can be entered. The information will appear in the Match Results Page available in the public area of The Clubhouse site for all to see.

The system will then automatically work out if your result was a Win, Loss or Draw.
