Matches & Scheduling

The Matches page is your operational view of the schedule: filter the fixture list, assign dates, venues, and referees, and enter results — quickly or in detail.

Matches themselves are created on the Structure page, not here. See Building Structure and Generating Matches.

At a Glance#

Status Filters#

Click any stat at the top of the page to filter by:

• Not started — scheduled but not yet played
• In progress — optional live status
• Finished — final score entered
• Expired — past matches without a result, highlighted in red

Entering Results#

Quick Result#

Click Result on a row to open a compact dialog and enter:

• Home and away scores
• Extra time score (if applicable)
• Penalty shootout score (if applicable)

Standings, statistics, and any automatic team progression update as soon as you save.

Full Match Editor#

Click Edit for the complete view:

• Match-day squads and starting lineups
• Events — goals (with scorer and assist), cards, substitutions
• MVP selection and per-player ratings (when enabled in Sport Settings)
• Notes and detailed scores including extra time and penalties

Player Ratings & MVP#

Enable both under Sport Settings → Matches:

• Player Ratings — colour-coded badges (green ≥ 8.0, blue 6.0–7.9, grey < 6.0) shown in lineups
• MVP — yellow star next to the chosen player on the public match page

Ratings and MVP appear on the public website when lineups are shown — see a live example.

Scheduling#

One Match at a Time#

Click a row to set date and time, assign a venue (ground), or assign a referee. An amber warning indicator flags rows missing a venue or referee.

In Bulk#

Tick the checkboxes, then Bulk Actions to:

• Set dates and times across many matches
• Assign venue or referee in bulk
• Delete in bulk (removes any entered scores and events)

Match Day Organisation#

Matches are grouped automatically into match weeks or rounds — Match Day 1, Match Day 2, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, etc. You can rename these from the phase settings on the Structure page.

When You Need to Add or Change Matches#

The Matches page does not have an Add match button — every match comes from generation on the Structure page.

• No matches yet? Open Structure, place teams into groups or bracket slots, and click Generate matches at the top of the page.
• Need to change who plays whom? Adjust team placement on the Structure page, then click Regenerate matches. The button shows an Outdated badge when something has drifted. A confirmation modal lists any matches that already have a status or score before they're replaced.
• Stage finished and you want to fill in the next one? With automatic team progression, winners are placed into the next phase as results land. Then regenerate that phase from the Structure page.

Common Questions#

Why are some matches red? They're expired — scheduled in the past with no result. Use Show Expired to find them, then enter the score or delete if they weren't played.

Can I delete a single match? Yes — select the row and use Bulk Actions → Delete. The next regeneration on the Structure page will recreate it. To remove a match permanently, adjust the structure first.

Where are events and squads recorded? In the Full Match Editor (Edit on a row). Goals, cards, substitutions, lineups, MVP, and ratings all live there.
