Enter any event’s details you want to communicate to the team’s members, such as information about the event, gear to bring etc.

Notification settings

This is the important part of adding an event: let the team members know.

You can notify team members in two ways:

  • Email notification
  • Mobile app notification (for members who installed the TeamTracky mobile app)

Click the appropriate toggle to YES (default is NO) to enable it.

Keep in mind that not only members but any member contact who has selected to receive team notifications will be notified about the event.
Finally, click the [Save] button at the bottom of the form to create the event.

Adding multiple events in a row

If you are entering multiple games one after the other, click the [Save and Add New] button to speed the process.

When that button is clicked, you won’t be redirected to the schedule page but stay on the same page with the form ready to add another game, with some fields prepopulated.

If Game type is:

  • League
    Date will be moved to one week ahead as league games are played every week.
  • Tournament
    Date will be the same so you don’t have to select it again.
    Location stays the same so you don’t have to select it again (most tournaments are played in the same location).
