Player Types in League Manager and Match Centre

Background

Previously in League Manager, there were four different player types: Base Player, Reserve Player, Emergency Player and Fill-in Player.

 

As Reserve player and Emergency player were being managed and displayed the same way across the platforms from a system perspective, a decision was made to remove Emergency player as an option in League Manager and Match Centre. This change has been done to streamline and simplify player tags for users in the system.

 

The impacts of this change is described below.

 

LEAGUE MANAGER

Within League Manager, the changes are as follows:

Change 1: Change to tab when viewing squads

  • When displaying the squad in League Manager, the ‘Reserve & Emergency Players’ tab displays as ‘Reserve players’.
  • The Emergency player tag will no longer exist, and all previous tags of Emergency players have changed to Fill-in player tags.

Old:

New:

 

Change 2: Removal of ‘type’ column

  • Since there is no need to distinguish Reserve players from Emergency players, the ‘type’ field will be removed when viewing the ‘Reserve players’ tab.

Change 3: Change to options in changing the player type

  • When viewing the ‘Base players’ tab and selecting the option to change the player type, ‘Change to Emergency player’ will no longer be available.

  • When viewing the ‘Reserve players’ tab and selecting the option to change the player type, ‘Change to Emergency player’ and ‘Change to Reserve player’ will no longer be available.

 

Change 4: Fill-in players can only be added against the match scorecard and not the team profile

  • When wanting to add a Fill-in player, the player can only be added during the result entry process OR scorecard for the match and not the Edit Squad feature.

 

MATCH CENTRE

Base players

There is no change to how Base Player displays within Match Centre.

Reserve players

Reserve players are considered part of the squad and match cards/tiles/ladders/competition appear on their Match Centre profile the same as a base player.

Team Profile: They appear on the Team Profile under Reserve Players as shown below:

Scorecard: When editing or entering a score, Reserve players are indicated by (R) next to their name, for both the player select and completed scores

Fill-in players

Fill-in players do not appear on the team profile in Match Centre.

Team Profile:

Scorecard: When editing or entering a score for a match in which a player has been a fill-in, they will appear in the dropdown for that match with an (F) next to their name.

Fill-in player profile:

  • Only the relevant Match card (previous/upcoming) for which the fill-in player was utilised appears on the Match Centre profile of the fill-in player.
  • No ladder tile will appear for the fill-in player
  • The competition will not be listed in the fill-in players competitions element if they were just a fill-in and not a Base or Reserve Player.

Book a Court Update – April 2018

We are pleased to announce several enhancements and changes to the Book a Court software will be released on Friday 27 April.

Details of the release are below.

Delete contacts & merge contacts

Administrators now have the ability to delete a contact record. Note, records can only be deleted if they do not have an account or a membership associated with them. Deleted contacts can be restored if required. Administrators also have the ability to merge contacts, click here for the support article.

Book current time slot

The current time slot can now be booked. Previously, once a time slot had started administrators and players could no longer book the current slot. For example at 8:01pm, the 8:00pm slot could no longer be booked. This change allows for more flexibility in bookings, particularly those booking at the site. It is important to note the booker will be charged the full price for this time slot and it may take up to 10 minutes for their PIN to activate and allow entry.

Payment gateway fee

The payment gateway fee has been changed to 3 per cent per credit card payment (minimum $0.35) to align with other Tennis systems. As per the current operations of the system, the fee is deducted from the total payment amount. For payments between $0.01 and $11.51 a $0.35 fee will be deducted.

For example:

If the total booking cost is $20.00, $19.40 will be transferred to the venue’s bank account.

If the total booking cost is $10.00, $9.65 will be transferred to the venue’s bank account

Walk Me

Walk Me is a training tool to provide a step by step guide through important features and provide tips throughout Book a Court. We have introduced two walk through scenarios: Adding a membership package to a contact and creating and managing schedules. Additionally, several information icons are now embedded in the platform, which you can hover over to learn more about a particular function or field.

Over time we will continue to introduce new walk through scenarios and tips to make the use of Book a Court even easier. If you have any particular functions or processes you think a walk me would be beneficial for please let us know.

Add membership packages to a contact

Administrators can now add a membership package to a contact allowing them access to member court booking pricing without the need to contact customer support or rely on weekly updates by Tennis Australia. Tennis Australia will continue to monitor your memberships and update regularly with increased focus during the renewal period. Click here for the support article or check out the new walk through in Book a Court, which will take you through the process systematically.

Customise court order

Venues who wish to customise the order in which courts appear on the booking sheet, rather than appearing in numerical order can contact Tennis Australia for this to be updated.

Menu and appearance changes

You will notice some changes to the main menu in Book a Court.

The settings button no longer appears in the main menu however you can access the settings by clicking Booking > Configuration. You might notice some of the settings are in a different order but everything you need is still there. If you cannot find something, feel free to contact our Customer Support team who will be more than happy to assist.

In addition, when you login you will no longer be taken to the bookings page, you will land on our new homepage, which will make it easier to navigate to different areas of the system.

You can now search for contacts from the top menu bar on every page, rather than having to enter the contacts module.

Unique ID

We have given all contacts at your venue a unique ID. This will make it easier for you to identify contacts and for us to provide support. Contacts will not have visibility of their ID and this will only be available at administrator level.

Grace period

The ability for administrators to edit the grace period of a membership package has been locked to eliminate issues experienced previously with this feature. All current grace periods will remain the same and if you wish to change any grace periods, this can be completed upon request by the Customer Service team.
