If you plan to use the Team Matches feature, the first step in utilizing this feature will be to set up the framework for the competition. There are two different versions of this feature:
Simple Team Matches: This version is automatically enabled for all Golf Genius TM Association users. The teams are organized into a single level of sections.
Advanced Team Matches: In this version, teams have a multi-level organization. For instance, there may be multiple divisions. Within each division, there are multiple sections (cups). Within each section, there are multiple teams. Note: To enable this version, contact support.
Additionally, there are two different Team Match formats that can be played:
Round Robin: Teams play head-to-head matches with other teams in their section using a Round Robin schedule (every team plays every other team in the section an equal number of times).
Brackets: Teams play head-to-head matches using a single-elimination playoff bracket to determine an overall winner. In many cases, this format is used as a playoff system for a previous Round Robin Team Match.
In this article, we will discuss how to set up your Team Matches (Team Cups) Round Robin or Brackets competition. This article provides detailed information on Advanced Team Matches and is also applicable to Simple Team Matches setups.

Exiting the Wizard

Upon exiting, you will be redirected to the Team Matches index page if the current Team Match is still being set up. Otherwise, you will be taken to its associated Summary page.
Completing the Setup
A Team Match Season is considered fully set up only when all steps of the Setup Wizard have been successfully completed. If any steps remain unfinished, the season is still considered to be in the setup phase.
The Setup Wizard and all its steps are always accessible from the Team Match Summary page for the season. Additionally, attempting to access a Team Match Season that is still being set up from the Team Matches Dashboard will also bring you back into the wizard.
The specific configuration process for each step will vary depending on the chosen format, Round Robin vs Bracket Team Match season.
