This article describes how to search, add, or remove venues that are to be used to play games in a given competition season. Selecting venues will save you time when you come to allocate fixtured games to courts.

Overview

Selecting the venues used in a season lets you specify which venues will be used to play games in a given competition season. Only venues you've selected will be available when you come to allocate fixtured games to courts, so setting this up in advance saves time during fixturing.

You can add as many venues as your season needs, and update your selection at any point before games are allocated to courts.

Important: Only Super Admins have the ability to create new venues in the system. If you search for a venue and can't find it in the dropdown list, you won't be able to add it yourself — contact your sport to have the venue added.

Search and select venues

You can search and select additional venues by selecting the relevant Competition and Season tiles, and then selecting the Settings tab. From the General sub-tab, select the venue search field and either scroll through the dropdown list of venues, or begin typing a venue's name:

Click to select and add the relevant venue. Once selected, the venue will appear in the list of the selected venues. Repeat this process until you've added all of the venues you will use for the season.

Once you have selected all the relevant venues, select Update & Save.

Remove selected venues

You can remove selected venues by selecting the relevant Competition and Season tiles, and then selecting the Settings tab. From the General sub-tab, select the 'minus' icon for the relevant venue to have the venue removed from the season's list, and then select Update & Save.

Note: If the 'minus' icon is semi-transparent, games have already been allocated to the venue's courts and you will be unable to remove the venue from the list.

Frequently asked questions

Who can select or remove venues for a season? Association Administrators can search, select, and remove venues from a season's Settings tab.

Who can create a new venue in PlayHQ? Only Super Admins have the ability to create new venues in the system. Association Administrators cannot create venues themselves.

What should I do if I can't find my venue when searching? If a venue doesn't appear in the search dropdown, it hasn't been created in the system yet. Contact your sport and ask them to have the venue added — once it's created, you'll be able to search for and select it.

Why can't I remove a venue from my season? If the minus icon next to a venue is semi-transparent, it means games have already been allocated to that venue's courts. You'll need to reassign or remove those fixtured games before the venue can be removed from the season.

Can I add or remove venues at any time? Yes, you can update your selected venues at any point before games are allocated to courts. Once games are allocated to a venue's courts, that venue can no longer be removed until the allocation is changed.
