Settings

Use Settings to add or edit team specific information. This is a menu item in the Team Directory or via a button on the specific Team page.

General Settings

• Name: Consistency in the naming on both Byga and on league sites is helpful and can be improved over time. For Name, use a name along with the club name that will not conflict with teams in other clubs (e.g., affiliates). The short name is used in various places where a more compact display is preferred.
• Team Group: Each team is assigned to only one of the club’s existing Team Groups
• A standard birth year rate range is used by default. Ask Byga Support if a different range of birth years is required.
• Gender options are Boys, Girls, or Co-ed
• Game format options include: 11v11, 8v8, 7v7, 5v5, 4v4, in house
• Training size: this information is optional. If it is provided, it can be leveraged in the validation checks of the Byga Practice Scheduling configuration tool.
• The team can be hidden from the list of active teams. Hidden teams are restricted from standard club messages and access by user’s app.

Photo

A team photo is optional.

Leagues

The Leagues tab is used for two reasons.

1. Aliases: allow the Byga system to identify team schedules on league sites. These are generated over time when team schedules are found.
2. Team age: is used for team exports when this is required by leagues sites as part of required team data. Contact Byga Support if all Team Ages need to be incremented.

Advanced

The Advanced tab provides two purposes:

1. Indicates if this team has mobile chat enabled.
2. Enables the team to be linked to the team from the previous or next season. This is helpful particularly after a season transitions which enables access to the team schedule from past seasons.

Add staff

Use Add staff to add a new coach, assistant coach or manager or a custom team role to a team. This is a menu item in the Team Directory or via a button on the specific Team page.

Note, that when a coach or manager are added to a Team, they will then automatically appear in the Coach or Manager directories. If the team staff changes in a subsequent season, the team staff directory will reflect the team staff assigned to teams in the specific season being viewed.

To remove a staff member from the team, go to the team page and click on the x next to their name.

Email parents/staff

The same functionality is described in section 2.1. This is a menu item in the Team Directory or via a button on the specific Team page.

Merge events

The Merge events option is used by team managers to merge placeholder events with system events discovered by Byga.

Delete

Used to delete a team.

Warning: Deleting teams is not reversible. If a team has had activity it may not be possible to delete and it may be preferred to hide the team.
