What type of Fixture do you choose?
When creating your fixture / event you will have three options to choose from:
- Internal Events
- House Events
- Inter-School Events
Internal Events
If you select to create an internal event then you will only be able to create teams from students within your school and those who are on your Squad in Touch platform. Also, you will only be able to select from students who match your event criteria, this is based on:
- Age range
- Gender
House Events
If you select to create a house event then you will only be able to create teams from students within your school and those who are on your Squad in Touch platform. You will need to also ensure that you have Houses in place and students have been added to them. When you come to input your chosen houses into the event, if you have enabled the multiple-teams functionality then you will be able to select all your houses. Providing your houses are in the system they will automatically all appear in the drop down menu.
When creating your teams you will only be able to select from students who match your event criteria, this is based on:
- Age range
- Gender
- House
The teams will then be set up to play House vs House, you will not be able to add students from other houses into a house team.
Inter-School Events
If you select to create an inter-schools event then you will only be able to create teams from students within your school and those who are on your Squad in Touch platform. Also, you will only be able to select from students who match your event criteria, this is based on:
- Age range
- Gender
You are able to select an opposition school to play against – please note if your opposition school is not in Squad In Touch then please let your Squad In Touch support Manager know so they can check, it may be that the schools is yet to be activated or that they appear under a different name in the system. IF you have enabled the multiple-teams functionality then you can invite multiple schools to take part in your event.
If the school has a Squad in Touch account then you will need to await for them to accept your invitation before you have the ability to close (add scores to) the event, if they do not have a Squad in Touch account, then you can still add an event against them, they will just be automatically accepted onto the event – so no invite will be sent.
