Manage Team Matches

The Team Management system in TargetScore provides a comprehensive solution for managing team-based competitions. This unified interface allows you to create teams, assign them to matches, and track their performance throughout your event.

Overview​

The team management feature is organized into three main sections:

  1. Manage Teams - Create, edit, and organize your teams
  2. Assign Matches - Bulk assign teams to specific matches
  3. Team History - View analytics and track team performance

Getting Started​

To access team management:

  1. Navigate to your event
  2. Click on the Teams tab in the main navigation
  3. Select the appropriate tab based on what you want to do

    • Team Name: Enter a descriptive name for your team
    • Division: Select the appropriate division (e.g., TR, F-Open, F-TR)
    • Coaches: Add one or more coach names
    • Captains: Add one or more team captain names

Team Requirements​

Deleting Teams​

To remove a team:

The Assign Matches section allows you to efficiently assign multiple teams to matches and detect potential conflicts.

Bulk Assignment​

To assign teams to a match:

  1. Click the Assign Matches tab
  2. Select the teams you want to assign using the checkboxes
  3. Choose the target match from the dropdown menu

Conflict Detection​

The system automatically checks for shooter conflicts when assigning teams:

  • Match Conflicts: Teams already assigned to a match will be filtered out from selection

Individual Assignment​

You can also assign teams individually:

Team History​

The Team History section provides an overview of your existing teams and their match assignments:

  • View all teams in your event
  • See which matches each team is assigned to
  • Quick reference for team-to-match relationships

Best Practices​

Team Creation Workflow​

  1. Register all participants first - Ensure all potential team members are registered in your event
  2. Create teams early - Set up your teams before creating matches to streamline the assignment process
  3. Use descriptive names - Choose team names that clearly identify the team (e.g., "University A Open Team", "Regional Junior Squad")

Match Assignment Strategy​

  1. Plan your matches - Create all your team matches before starting assignments
  2. Check for conflicts - Always review conflict warnings before confirming assignments
  3. Use bulk assignment - For efficiency, assign multiple teams to the same match simultaneously

Managing Changes​

  1. Team composition changes - Edit teams to update members between matches
  2. Match reassignments - Remove teams from matches and reassign as needed
  3. Track modifications - Use the Team History section to monitor changes

Common Scenarios​

Scenario 1: Setting Up a New Competition​

  1. Register all participants
  2. Create your team matches
  3. Use the Manage Teams tab to create all teams
  4. Use the Assign Matches tab to assign teams to their first matches
  5. Adjust team assignments as needed throughout the competition

Scenario 2: Mid-Competition Changes​

  1. If a shooter becomes unavailable, edit the affected team(s)
  2. Check for any match conflicts after team changes
  3. Reassign teams to different matches if needed
  4. Use Team History to track changes

Scenario 3: Multiple Match Formats​

  1. Create teams once in the Manage Teams section
  2. Use the same teams across different match types
  3. Assign teams to specific matches based on the competition format
  4. Track performance across all matches in Team History

Troubleshooting​

Teams Not Appearing in Match Assignment​

  • Ensure the team has been saved properly
  • Check that there are team-type matches available in your event
  • Verify the team hasn't already been assigned to all available matches

Shooter Conflicts​

  • Review the conflict warning messages carefully
  • Check if a shooter is already assigned to the same match through another team
  • Consider adjusting team composition or match assignments

Missing Participants​

  • Ensure all team members are properly registered in the event
  • Check that participant registration is complete
  • Refresh the page if participant data doesn't appear immediately
