Overview
This article describes how an association can identify a venue clash and to see what games are clashing at the venue.
Preliminary Information - Accessing Season and Allocation Area
Select the Competition Management main menu item, and then the appropriate Competition and Season tile.
Season Allocation menu
Within the Season Allocation menu, you will see a tab called Games.
More on this below, but it is worth noting that, if you are working in a season of a Domestic competition, you will also see a tab for Game Slots. If you would like to learn more about Game Slots, please see this article.
Working with Game Allocations
Note that when games are fixtured for a Domestic or Home & Away competition, they are not allocated to venues / playing surfaces and times, by default - they will have been assigned a round date as part of the fixturing process, however.
Instructions for Identifying and Resolving a Clash
Step 1 - Months
Once at least 1 fixture has been generated in a season, the Game Allocations area will display a list of Months in which season games have been scheduled for in the particular Competition Season you are working in.
You will also be able to see how many games are allocated out of the total amount of games that need to be allocated in that month for the Competition Season you are working in e.g. x / y
If there is at least 1 clash in the month that involves a game from the Competition Season you are working in, you will see a red triangle indicating that you will need to resolve the clash.
You can click on the expand arrow (circled in red) to expand out dates within the month.
Step 2 - Dates
Once a month is expanded, you will see the dates for which games have either been scheduled to (if fixtured but unallocated) and / or allocated to.
Similar to the months, you will be able to see how many games are allocated out of the total amount of games that need to be allocated for that date in the Competition Season you are working in e.g. x / y
If there is at least 1 clash on a date that involves a game from the Competition Season you are working in, you will see a red triangle indicating that you will need to resolve the clash.
If all games are allocated and there are no clashes involving a game from the Competition Season you are working in, you will see a green tick appear for the date.
