New Season Registration Tips 2016

A new season is just around the corner - make sure your club is ready by following this check list.

1. Ensure that your season is updated


To update your season configuration, login to your database at the 'League' level and go to the Cog > Settings:  Select Seasons.


There are two season settings. 

·      CURRENT season: The season that games are currently being played in
.
·      NEW REGISTRATION season: The season that new registrations will go into.

It's worth setting a reminder to update the 'Current Season' once the new season games begin. If you only run winter competitions then you should update your 'Current Season' once your finals are finished, so you don't forget do this when your club taking registrations next year.

2. Update your products

As it is a new season, it is also vital that new products are created. Using old products and simply renaming them can cause data confusion.

If your fees have increased from the previous season, it is recommended that you click the 'Add a New Product' icon. This will create a completely new product that you can adjust to your liking. 

If your fees have not changed, you can click the 'Copy' icon next to your previous years product. This will copy all the information from that product and create a new one. Ensure you also change the season in the new product.
