All games on the platform are created by the feed from LeagueStat. However, There may be some instances when you may want to create a game for marketing purposes prior to the game being available in the feed (Playoffs / Pre-Season). This article will explain how to create a game on your website. All manually created games will be merged with games from the LeagueStat feed once available.
How to create a game
Head to /admin > Content > Games > Create Game
- Choose whether the game is Home or Away
- Choose the opponent. If the opponent is TBD leave this field blank.
- Date. If the date is TBD, enter an approximate date and hide the date below (this tells us where to place the game in list view - it will not appear in calendar view).
- Add Puck Drop / Doors time. If you prefer to not display a time (or it is TBD) then leave this blank.
- Check the Hide Date box if you prefer to not show a date for the game.
- Fill in the rest of the details as you would a game from the feed. You can review How to Edit Games & add Promotions here.
How Manual Games will be Merged with the feed
- If a new game from the feed comes up with the same date as a game that was manually added, they will be merged and all team admins will be notified via email.
- If there are 2 TBD games for the same date, neither will be merged and instead a new game will be created.
- Games may be deleted as long as they are not merged with a game from the feed (potential playoff games that end up being not necessary).
