Integrating with SportsEngine is an advanced option allowing officiating organizations to expand their functionality beyond the in-system management options. Officiating organization administrators can enable this optional add-on functionality if their organization uses SportsEngine as an external provider. Below are instructions on how to setup this augmented functionality.
Getting Started
Before Importing Games from Sports Engine, you'll need to set up your add-on integration with the following steps.
You'll need to start by connecting your Sports Engine user account. This can be done by an organization administrator on your System Settings page using the Synchronize tab.
Next, you'll need to choose the Connect button to start the Sports Engine connection process.
Log in to your Sports Engine account and Accept the connection permissions
Your Sports Engine account should now be connected. You shouldn't need to do this step again unless your account becomes disconnected for some reason. The connection should remain constant unless you manually disconnect the account.
Import Setup Data from SportsEngine
Once connected, you'll need to Import Teams before you can import any game information. Navigate to Administrative Forms >> Add/Edit/Remove Teams and select the Import from Sports Engine option in the top toolbar.
Once opened, you'll need to select:
Organization to Import from
This list is populated based on the permissions you have on your Sports Engine account. If an organization is missing, you'll need to have that organization added to your Sports Engine account.What to import
You should select Teams. It is unnecessary to import Leagues or Game Codes as the Team import will do this for you. Only advanced users should utilize the other import types.Select the Teams to Import
This will add these teams and their related leagues and game codes to your system.
You can perform this import as many times as you'd like. The items will not be duplicated. If a team name has changed, running this import a second time will simply update the tea name and will not create a duplicate team.
Import Games
Once teams have been imported, you may now Import Games from the Sports Engine platform and your integration with this add-on functionality has now been completed. Please refer to this support article for instructions on importing games from the Sports Engine platform after the setup steps have been completed.
