Venues and courts
Register courts, halls and pitches with address and capacity — and use them in fixtures without retyping.
Venues are stored in the organization, like teams and athletes. Register once and use across every tournament.
Registering a venue
Enter:
- Name — what people call the place, not its official name on the contract
- Type — court, sports hall, pitch, stadium or other
- Address, city, state, country and postcode
- Capacity for spectators
- Notes — the most useful field on the list
What’s worth writing in the notes
This is where the information nobody remembers at the right moment lives:
- “Gate at the back after 6pm”
- “Street parking only”
- “Key with the caretaker, phone X”
- “Floor gets slippery when it rains”
In a competition with several venues, that saves a dozen messages in the group chat every round.
Coordinates
A venue accepts latitude and longitude. Filled in, the address becomes a point on the map instead of text — anyone who’s never been there arrives without phoning for directions.
It matters especially for community pitches and neighbourhood courts, where a written address is rarely enough.
Using them in fixtures
With venues registered, you pick the ground when building the round instead of typing the address into each fixture. The venue appears on the match’s public page and on promotional artwork.
Tip Register venues before generating the fixture list. Fixtures accept a venue afterwards, but filling in 40 matches one by one is work that didn’t need to exist.
Frequently asked
Can I use the same venue across tournaments? Yes — that’s why the record belongs to the organization.
Can I have two venues at the same address? Yes. A hall with two courts is usually registered as two venues, so there’s no doubt about where the match is.
Does capacity limit anything? No. It’s informational — useful for planning the final and for talking to sponsors about crowds.
