       You have the ability here to specify the first and second size group size that you prefer for the session and the game format for each possible group size. All of these choices will depend on the number of courts that you have available and the maximum number of opt ins you permit for each game day. The system will always use a format that includes every opted in player. It will first attempt to use your preferred group size settings.

       !If you have only a limited number of courts, you should set your first preferred group size large enough to allow groups that will accommodate every opted in player on the courts that you have available. You should also set the maximum number of opted in players for each game day to a number that will fit on the available courts.

       Adding Game Days to a Session

       Once the session is configured, you can add your game days. Initially, most leagues will add multiple game days that will span the entire session. There is also an option to add individual game days.

       

       
       

       
       

       Creating Multiple Game Days

       

       Select the day(s) of the week that the league will play.

       elect the start time.

       Select the number of weeks.

       Select the maximum number of players allowed to opt in for a game day. This can be less than the maximum number of players in the league. If you wish to activate the waiting list option, turn that option on in your session settings, set this to the max number of players you can handle and then create the waiting list final automatic movement time period in Number 8 below.

       t the first game date.

       1. Select the amount of time prior to each game day that players can begin to opt in. Players must opt themselves in if they want to play on any game day.
       2. Select the end of the opt in time period.
       3. Select the final time period that waiting list players can be automatically added to the game day. For example, if you want to assure that waiting list players have enough time to change any plans and arrive on time to play, you might want to set this time to at least a few hours prior to the start of each game day.
          
          
          
       4. Set the maximum number of opt in players to guarantee court space and time for your playing groups.

          !Any session player who tries to opt in after the maximum is reached, will be prompted to sign up on the waiting list.
