This feature is available for the following product:
The Teams tab is a dedicated step within the Team Matches Season Setup Wizard, occurring after the:
Initial Setup tab for a Bracket Format
Structure tab for a Round Robin (as shown below).
This tab provides a robust and optimized interface for managing teams within your Team Match, supporting both Round Robin and Bracket formats.
In this article, we will discuss the available options in the Teams tab for a Round Robin format Team Matches Season setup wizard. For details on the Teams tab for a Bracket Format, Click Here.
Note: Region-specific options mentioned below are only available if the Advanced Team Matches feature is enabled.
Navigating Regions and Sections
To ensure efficient performance and avoid overwhelming managers with too much information, the Teams tab displays only one region and a maximum of 5 sections at a time. You can easily switch between different regions and collections of sections using the dropdown menus located at the top of the screen (as shown below):
Change the current region: This option becomes available if your Team Match Season includes multiple regions, the Advanced Team Matches feature is enabled, and the format is set to Round Robin. This allows you to focus on teams within a specific geographical or organizational division.
Change the current sections page: If the region you're currently viewing contains more than 5 sections, this dropdown will appear. It enables you to navigate between groups of sections.
Note: Any changes you make on the Teams page must be saved before you switch regions or sections. Failure to do so will result in the loss of all unsaved updates.
Managing Teams
The primary function of the Teams tab is to assign clubs to a team. There are several actions you will be able to take to manage teams:
Assigning clubs to a team
Assigning multiple clubs to a team
Adding an unmanaged club to a team
Adding more teams to a section
Removing teams from a section
Note: When adding teams to a section, add them in seeding order.
Assigning One Club to a Team
Start with selecting the club for each team (as shown below). Note: Only managed clubs assigned to your Golf Genius TM Association account will be available for selection. More details can be found later in this article on how to add clubs you don't manage.
Search for the club by scrolling or typing in the club name. Select the club, and a Team Name will automatically be assigned based on the club name (as shown below). Note: If the same club is used multiple times for different teams, a " 1" will be added to the end of the team name. For instance, if Catta Verdera has two teams, the team names will be Catta Verdera and Catta Verdera 1.
All team names can be edited by selecting the team and changing the name (as shown below).
Assigning Two Clubs to One Team
There may also be cases where a team is created using multiple clubs. For instance, there may be some clubs that do not have enough participation to field a full team so they "team up" with another club to create a team. To create this type of multi-club team, click the "+ Add Club" below the first club's name and select the additional club (as shown below).
Adding Clubs You Don't Manage
If the club is not available for selection (i.e., it is not one of your managed clubs), you can search for and select the "Add Club" option in the dropdown. Enter the name and all required information of the club (as shown below). Click "Save". The team will then be available in the list to select.
Adding More Teams to a Section
In some cases, it may be necessary to create uneven section. For instance, the default number of teams may be 6 for all of the sections. However, one section will have an additional team (7). To do this, select "Add New Team" at the bottom of the section and create the team (as shown below).
Removing Teams from a Section
There may also be cases where a section will have fewer teams than the default number of teams. For instance, a section may be full of teams that have to travel far, so the number of teams in the section needs to be reduced. To remove a team, select the trash bin icon on the right.
Saving Team Changes
Once you're happy with how your teams are set up, click the "Save" button at the bottom right of the page (as shown below).
After a successful save, the team information on the page will update instantly without requiring a full refresh. Once all your teams are ready, simply click the "Go to Next Step" button at the bottom right to proceed to the "Schedule (Round Robin)" tab.
Notes:
To save successfully, every team must have both a valid representative club and a name. If anything's missing, you'll see an error message reminding you to complete those entries.
Team names do not accept special characters (e.g., #, $, commas, dash, :, etc.)
If you try to use the same club for multiple teams within the same Team Match Season, the system will automatically adjust the team names. This helps make sure every team has a unique identity, even if they share a club.
