League Manager Update – Tuesday 30 May 2017
We’re pleased to announce a number of updates to League Manager and Match Centre.

League Manager new functions:

• Cancelled Round and/or Match e-mail notification
  • E-mail notifications can now be sent through the system when a scheduled match is cancelled in the future. E.g. Forfeit, Washout, Heatout etc.
  • Notifications can be sent to one or more of the following user groups – Players, Team Captains, Clubs or League Manager
  • The settings to determine who receives these notifications can be set when editing and/or creating a Season Template as part of step 1.2 (Season Template Advanced Settings). For more information please click HERE

League Manager improvements/changes:

• Internal Season Templates
  • Non-Playing Dates can be added to leagues created using Internal Season Templates. This can be done at Step 4 (Fixture Preview Screen) when editing/creating a Season Template.

• Delete Teams
  • Teams can now be deleted from the Allocate Teams screen, which will also delete them from their respective club’s nominated teams list.

• Entering Match Results – Doubles
  • The ability to list the same player twice in a doubles rubber has been removed to ensure data accuracy. Users who are unsure of who a player was are encouraged to select the ‘Unspecified Player’ option.

• Matches Overview – Filter
  • Users are now able to filter so results will display Multiple Leagues and/or Multiple Match Statuses on the Matches Overview Screen.

Match Centre New Functionality:

• Match Centre Search
  • Search functionality has been improved to allow users to search more accurately off multiple words within the text box. E.g. searching for Tennis West will now firstly display any exact matches for Tennis West before displaying results that contain either the word Tennis or West within them.
  • Search results will now be returned based on geographical relevance. Users will now see search results based on their state location (set in their profile) above results from other states that meet the search criteria.
