You can add regular season games to a grade's fixture at any point. The game will be considered part of the regular season for the teams involved, and will count toward ladder calculation and other statistics. This article covers the process and elements of adding a regular season game to a fixture.
Note: You can also add a finals game in a similar but separate process.
Adding a game to a fixture
Select the Competition Management main menu item, and then the appropriate Competition and Season tile, and then select the Grades tab. Select the View Fixture button for the appropriate grade. Select the Add a Game button:
You'll arrive on the Create new game page. Use the screenshot and table below to add the game:
