How to add games

Add a single game, a recurring pattern, an import, or a meeting from Master Game Schedule.

New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. On a computer or laptop, choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. You can switch back from that menu any time.

Both layouts are in use right now. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS you see the New Horizon Experience. On a computer or laptop, the older legacy layout stays until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Match the steps to the screen in front of you. When a control or rule exists on only one layout, this article says so. The steps below start with the New Horizon Experience in the apps, then cover that older desktop or laptop layout.

This article covers adding games on Master Game Schedule. Open it from Schedule. It is for assignors, schedulers, and organization administrators. Coaches, athletic directors, and League Personnel can add a single game only when an administrator turns on Feature #23 in System Settings. If Add is missing, your organization has not given you add permission.

Watch the walkthrough

This video shows the add path in the New Horizon Experience. In the apps, that control is the plus button. On a computer or laptop, the older layout stays until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. That older layout is described at the end of this article.

Open Add

On a computer, Add sits in the top bar of Master Game Schedule and shows the word Add. On a phone, the same menu is the plus button. Both open the same list of ways to put something on the board.

The menu lists a single game first, then a recurring pattern, then Import from SportsEngine, then a meeting. Spreadsheet import is not listed yet. Choose Add game (the label may also say Add plus your organization's game word) to open the single-game form.

Fill in the game

The form walks you through the game in sections. Required fields usually include date, time (or a TBD time), location, and (when those features are on) teams, League, and Game Code. Meetings do not use League or Game Code.

If a team, location, League, or Game Code is not known yet, use the built-in TBA choices. Do not create your own TBA or TBD item. After you save, the new game appears on Master Game Schedule so you can assign, publish, or edit it.

Add recurring games builds a repeating pattern inside your organization's current season. Import from SportsEngine adds many games at once in three steps: Choose, Preview, then Results. That path is covered in Importing Games from SportsEngine. Add meeting puts a meeting on the same board so you can invite people instead of assigning a crew.

If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout

On the older desktop or laptop layout, use Add Games in the top toolbar of Master Game Schedule. That menu still lists Add Single Games, Add Recurring Games, Import from Spreadsheet, Import from SportsEngine, and Add Meetings. Coaches and League Personnel who are allowed to add still use Add Games on their Game Schedule and can add games one at a time only.
