A bug exists in version 1.0 if you have no venues in the database. It will cause the entries in the table to the right of the location column to be shifted right. The simple work around is to add one venue to the Venues Database. This will be corrected in version 1.1 of the plugin.
Use this screen to manage tournament game schedules and results, as described in the paragraphs below. (Click on the screenshot to enlarge it.)
(1) Select Tournament. Select the tournament you wish to update and click Update Table
. Note that Update Table
fetches and displays the existing data for a tournament. It does NOT update the contents of the table (the tournament data) See Update Games
below.
(2) Game Dates & Times.Set the game dates and times with these fields. Dates and times must be entered for all the games. The Time TBA
checkbox displays the time as “TBA” if the time is not known. “TBA can be changed on the Settings Screen.
(3,4) Team & Team Text. (1st Round) The first round teams, Team A and Team B, are determined by the Teams/Seeds table on the Edit Tournament screen. If there are no entries in the Team/Seeds table, the teams may be entered in the Team Text fields. See (6) below.
(5) Home Team. Team A, Team B, or the highest seed may be selected as the home team. If the highest seed is selected as the home team, the plugin will determine the home team based on the Teams/Seeds table. If the home team is not important, it does not have to be displayed.
(6) Team & Team Text. (Later Rounds) After the first round, if the teams are selected in the Teams/Seeds table, teams will be determined by the previous round’s results. If the Teams/Seeds table is not used, the winning teams must be entered in the Team Text fields for every round, after the results are known.
(7) Location & Location Text. Locations may be entered from the LM Venues database, or they may be entered as text. If an entry from the Venues DB is provided, it overrides any text that is entered. If the location is entered as text, it cannot be linked to Google Maps or venue URLs from the database, nor can its display format be changed.
