Enhanced Process To Move Teams & Members Between Competitions

Moving teams between competitions is a regular occurrence and in the past has been a time consuming process for administrators. The following documentation will explain the best process to copy teams including their members from one competition into a new competition. This process will only work if both competitions are being played in the same season, for example season 2013.


There are two options that you now have when moving teams & members into new competitions.
The first option is moving all teams from one competition into a new competition. The second option is selecting particular teams from multiple competitions to form a new competition in the same season.

 Copying all Teams into new Competitions 




Moving teams between competitions is a regular occurrence and in the past has been time consuming process for administrators. The following documentation will explain the best process to copy all the teams including their members from one competition into a new competition. This process will only work if both competitions are being played in the same season, for example season 2013. You may wish to use this process if you are running a pre-season or post-season competition that will include the same teams and members as the regular season competition.

NOTE: This process will not regrade the teams it simply makes another copy of the team. This means that the teams you copy will still remain
in their current competition.

 1. The first step is from the dashboard at association level to hover over the 'Competitions' tab and then click List Competitions from the drop down list.

Copying selected Teams into new Competitions

This process is suitable if you have a large grading competition and then want to move teams into new competitions within the same season. For example you may have a grading competition with 40 teams which you then want to split into four competitions with 10 teams each.
