Tournament Playoff Scheduling Question

naterg1 · 03-20-2018, 06:46 PM

Is there any way to schedule tournament playoff games before you know who will be playing in them?

I want all of the tournament games (playoffs included) to happen at very specific places in the schedule because they intersect with the regular season. The regular season schedule will have holes built into it to accommodate the tournament games.

Do I have to schedule them as they happen or is there a way to make it a little more permanent, especially considering this will be an issue every season?

No, unfortunately the playoff games will only get scheduled after the season has ended, based on the playoff formats listed. We might look into a way later this year to be able to customize that further.

Thanks for the response. I think it would be awesome if you get to that later this summer. It would definitely help in my particular case.

are you saying the tourney is set up as predefined slots, but teams arent "selected" yet cuz no games have been played...once the games are played those teams automatically get placed in said tourney slots? cuz is that could happen that would be AMAZING!
