Allocating games across specific venues, playing surfaces (courts/fields), and times occurs after grade/s have had a fixture generated. There are four ways to allocate a game:
- Allocating a game direct from the Fixture View
- Allocating games using the List View
- Allocating a game using the Calendar View
- Allocating games using Game Slots (primarily for domestic competitions)
This guide covers viewing Allocations by month or game slots.
