FAQs
Does this handle double booking prevention?
Yes, it does on the program-level! There is a prevention when you try to schedule a game over a game that is already scheduled at a specific time and location within that program. There is also a program-level prevention that won’t allow you to schedule the same team at the same time in different locations.
Can I import my tournament schedule?
You will be able to easily create your tournament schedule directly in the LeagueApps platform, instead of importing a spreadsheet. Therefore, the ‘import schedule’ functionality is not currently available in this upgraded experience.
