Adult League Scheduling
This document will walk you through a step-by-step process on how to
create your adult league schedule for the season. Although most centers will
use adult sports for their adult league scheduling, some prefer to use the
youth sports method when setting up their leagues. This is primarily due to
being able to create and manage teams and coaches rather than letting the
patrons manage themselves. Below we have outlined the steps using the adult
sports method when setting up a league. If at any time you find yourself in
need of additional support, please contact our Technical Consultants at support@peakinfo.com or 801-572-3570 x2.
Prerequisites: Make sure you have the rights to ‘Activity
Definition’ before you start.
***NOTE*** If you have not already, it is recommended that you
add your Questions, Coaches and Defined Parks prior to creating your league in
activities. Click the links below to see how
to create Questions, Coaches and Defining Parks within the maintain tables
section.

Teams
In the Adult Leagues method, patrons will create and register
their own teams.
***Note***
You will not be able to make any changes to the adult teams until you have
patrons register. If you try to add a new team, you will receive the error
below.
Once you
have had patrons register for the sporting event you will be able to click on
the [Add/Edit Teams] button as shown above to add/make changes to the
roster and create the schedule. Below we will show you how to create your adult
league schedule. First, you will want to create your divisions.
Division
Always start with selecting or adding
the division you would like to schedule prior to creating your game schedule.
See the example below.
Click the down arrow as shown below. Select the division you want to schedule. (E.g.,
Minors)
If you found the division you need,
continue on. If not follow the next steps to add the new division.
Click on
the [Edit] button as shown below. Click the [Add] button
Add the division name in the box provided. (E.g. Majors) Then click the [OK]
button.
Once you have patrons registered for
the sporting event you will be able to put them into the division you created
above.
Double click on each team to add them
to a division group. Then, select the drop-down arrow and click on the division
name.
Coaches
In Adult Leagues the selection of the
coach will default to the person that registers the team (E.g., Fred Smith paid
and registered the team so he will be listed as the coach). If you want to
change the coach you can by following the steps below.
Double click on the team you want to
edit. Then click on the [Coach] button
Select the coach you want to assign
to the team then click the [OK] button. If you do not see a coach and
you know they have been added, you can click on the filter option and select
the group they would be associated with.
***Note***If you set up
your coaches in the coach table prior to setting up your league they will show
up as shown in the screen shot above. If not, follow the steps below to
add a new coach to the list.
Click the [Add A New Coach]
button.
A screen will populate called ‘Add/Edit
Coaches & Instructors’. You have three different options to add a new
coach. You can click on the [Add from Users] or [Add from Members]
button if the coach is already in the system or you can manually enter in the
coach’s information. You will need to make sure you select what type of coach
they are and grant them access to the Coach Login. Then click the [OK]
option.
(See
screen shots below)
If
you see the coach in the list but you need to edit information about the coach,
you can by simply highlight the coach’s name and click on the [Edit Coach] button.
In our example below, you will see that Liam Scott’s phone number is missing.
By clicking on the edit button, you can go into the coach’s information and add
the phone number as seen below.
To
remove a coach from the list simply highlight the coach you want to remove and

Creating
Game Schedules
You will need to complete all 4 steps in this section in order to create
your league schedule.
Ø Define Scheduling Parameters
Ø Reserve Game Date/ Times/ Fields
Ø Create League Play Schedule
Ø View/Print Proposed Schedule
***Note*** Once you start the schedule steps you cannot exit
the program and return at a later time. If you exit the software prior to
finishing the 4th step you will have to start over.
Start by navigating to the following Define Activities>Select
the name of the program you created then click on the [Add/Edit
Team] button. Once there, click on the [Schedule Games] Button. The
League Scheduling box will populate with the 4 steps that need to be completed.
Click the [Step
1] button.
Defining Scheduling Parameters
In this step you will define if the
games will be a round robin or regular play.
Round Robin-
Should be used if you are having every team play each team once in a given day.
For example, if you have 8 teams in the league and each team needs to play each
other twice then you would select round robin and have 7 rounds x2.
Regular Play-
Should be used if in one given day the team will play against only one team. If
the teams need to play against more than one team per game day then you will
need to select round robin and set it up like a tournament.
Below you will see an example for both
types of play. Once you have defined the type of play click the [OK]
button.
