Tournament Fixtures
Fixtures define the matches that will be played in a tournament. In Sportzdom, organizers can create fixtures manually, while automatic fixture generation is planned as a future feature.
Fixture Creation Methods​
Sportzdom supports or plans to support the following fixture creation methods:
| Method | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | Available | Organizers create fixtures by selecting teams, match timing, venue, and officials. |
| Auto | Coming Soon | The system generates fixtures automatically based on tournament teams, format, and rules. |
Manual Fixture Creation​
Use manual fixture creation when you want to control each match setup directly.
How Manual Fixtures Work​
- Select the teams for the match.
- Assign the match date and time.
- Choose the venue or location.
- Select the referee for the match.
- Select the support official, if required.
- Assign a scorer to record match details.
- Save or create the fixture.
Manual fixture creation is useful when organizers need full control over match order, ground availability, official assignments, or schedule changes.
Auto Fixture Creation​
Auto fixture creation is marked as Coming Soon.
When available, the system is expected to generate fixtures based on:
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Participating Teams | Determines which teams should be included in the fixture list. |
| Tournament Format | Uses formats such as League or Knockout to generate matches. |
| Tournament Rules | Applies match rules, scheduling rules, and format rules. |
| Schedule Details | Uses dates, ground timings, match duration, and matches per day. |
| Officials | Allows referees and scorers to be assigned during or after generation. |
Before Creating Fixtures​
Before creating fixtures, make sure:
- All required teams or players are added to the tournament.
- Tournament format and rules are selected.
- Grounds or venues are available.
- Match date, time, and duration are confirmed.
- Referees and scorers are available for assignment.
After Fixtures Are Created​
After fixtures are created:
- Matches appear in the tournament schedule.
- Teams can view upcoming matches.
- Officials can be assigned or notified based on the workflow.
- Scorers can prepare for score entry.
- Organizers can monitor match progress from the tournament dashboard.
Notes​
- Assigning a referee and scorer helps ensure smooth match operations.
- Fixture changes may be limited after publishing or once matches have started.
- Review the fixture list carefully before sharing it with teams and officials.
