League Settings - Seasons

The seasons tab on the League Settings page allows you to create, view, and edit seasons within your leagues. Seasons are typically used as natural separations of teams and games.

Prerequisites

A league must be setup to add a season.

Season Fields

• Season Name: Name of the season.

• Start & End Dates: Season start and end dates.

  • Note: Seasons are sorted in the seasons table and filters throughout All-Star Rec Manager by newest to oldest.

• Display on Website: Enable to display this season on the Schedule & Stats page of the league website.

  • Note: If you want to have “blackout” dates where you’re building the schedule or organizing rosters, you can disable this season from showing on the website during that time, and then show it again when you’re ready.

• Display in Website Header: Enable to display this season’s games in the header bar at the top of the league website.

  • Note: The header bar only displays games and not practices.

  • Note: Be sure to turn this off when you start a new season. Otherwise, the header bar will continue showing last season’s games.

Team Registration Form Fields

The team registration form allows team managers to register their team name so that their players can register for the team. When the team registration form is submitted, the team is automatically set up in the system. Only one team registration form can be setup per season.

• Create Team Registration Form: Enable to allow All-Star Rec Manager to automatically create a team registration form. When enabled, additional team fields appear.

• Maximum Teams: Maximum number of teams permitted to register for this season.

  • Note: The maximum applies to all teams in all divisions. There’s not a way to max out each individual division.

• Team Fee: Fee associated with the team registering. The fee could be a setup fee or the team manager could be charged the total fee for the team as opposed to charging the players individually. If no team fee, then enter 0.

  • Note: Often times, leagues either charge a team fee or a player fee, but not both.

• Account Code: Account code for the fee charged to the person registering the team.

• Team Registration Discounts: Discount codes that team managers can use when registering their team name.

Note: Sometimes players fill out the team registration form instead of the player registration form. If this happens, ensure all players on the duplicate team’s roster are moved to the correct team and then delete the duplicate.

Participant Registration Form

The participant registration form allows individual players to register to play in the league. When the participant registration form is submitted, the participant is automatically added to the roster of the team(s) for which they registered. Only one participant registration form can be setup per season.

• Create Participant Registration Form: Enable to allow All-Star Rec Manager to automatically create a participant registration form. When enabled, additional participant fields appear.

• Participant Defaults: Default settings for participant registrations. These can be individualized per team on the Teams tab.

  • Position: The position on the team.

  • Max per Team: The maximum number of player per team per position.

  • Participant Fee: The fee for participants to register for this position on this team.

  • Account Code: The account code assigned to participant fees for this position.

  • Note: When a team name is registered, these defaults are automatically assigned to the team. However, they can be customized per team on the Teams tab.

• Participant Registration Discounts: Discount codes that participants can use when registering.

Note: Participants can register for any team on the registration form unless the team and position they are registering for is already maxed out. If a player registers for the wrong team, or the team captain doesn’t want the player on the team, you can always move them to a different team.

Note: To register players as free agents, setup a separate Free Agent team on the Teams tab. Then you can move players between teams on the Rosters page.

Deleting a Season

It is recommended that you do not delete a season since all historical data within the season will be removed as well.
