Team tournaments

What it is

Put your team into a tournament in one step. You pick the tournament, tick the players who are going, and it lands on each of those players' schedules. If a player's page is public, college coaches searching tournaments can find that player there.

How to use it

1. In the mobile app, open Team and tap Tournaments.
2. You see the tournaments your team has already entered, with the dates, the place and how many players are listed. Pull down to refresh.
3. Tap Add a tournament for the team. Search for the tournament by name or city and pick it.
4. If it is not listed, tap Don't see it? Add a new tournament. Enter the name, the first day, the last day if it is more than one, the city and the state. The app shows close matches first. Pick a listed one if it is the same event, or choose to add yours as a new tournament.
5. Under Who's playing, everyone is ticked. Untick anyone who is out. A line under each name shows the jersey number, positions, and Page is private when that player's page is not public.
6. Tap Add, which shows the number of players. The tournament appears in your list.

Rules and limits

• You must be on the team's staff. You can add only players you can reach on that roster.
• The tournament goes on each chosen player's schedule for the whole span of the event. A player who already has it is skipped. If everyone already had it, you are told so.
• Up to 60 players can be added in one go.
• The tournament and your team show to verified college coaches only if the player's page is public. The player or a parent still decides whether the exact field and time show. For players under 18 that is off unless a parent or the player turns it on.
• Adding a new tournament needs a name of at least 3 letters and a start date within the last month or the next two years. A tournament can run up to 14 days. You can add up to 20 new tournaments a day.
• The mobile app has no way to take a team off a tournament. A player can remove their own game from Profile, then Tournaments, and a parent can remove it for a child.
• You need at least one player on your roster, and a team. With no team, the screen asks you to create one first.

Edge cases

• The screen works on one team at a time. It uses the team you last chose for your lineup on the Team screen. If you coach more than one team, switch the team there first.
• A player whose account has no athlete profile yet is left out quietly, and the count of players added can be lower than you ticked.
• The count in your list is the number of players who have that tournament for your team, not the number of teams that entered it.
• If a roster is bigger than 60, ticking everyone fails with a message. Add them in two rounds.
