Overview

Pre-configuring match settings at the competition level ensures consistency across all matches in that competition. When you set up period configuration, clock behavior, stats coverage, and player settings at the competition level, these settings automatically apply to every new match created under that competition. This saves time and ensures uniform settings across your league or tournament.


Accessing Competition Match Settings

1. Click Assets in the left sidebar


2. Select Competitions


3. Select the competition you want to configure


4. Click Additional Settings


5. Select Match Configuration


Basic Match Configuration

The basic options available depend on your sport. For football, you can configure:


* Half length (e.g., 45 minutes)


* Half time length (e.g., 15 minutes)


* Enable extra time


* Enable golden goal


* Enable shootout


Different sports show different configuration options based on their specific requirements.


Advanced Match Configuration

Click Advanced to access additional settings:


* Toggle clock display on or off


* Set clock direction (counting up from zero or counting down from match length)


* Enable injury time clock


* Enable cumulative stats


Stats Coverage Settings

Navigate to Additional Settings > Stats to configure statistics tracking:


1. Select stat coverage level:


* Minimum Stats: Only essential statistics


* Standard Stats: Essential statistics plus additional statistics


2. Toggle Players on or off:


* ON: Players must be included in matches created under this competition


* OFF: Matches can be created without player rosters


3. Click Save


If players are toggled off here, all new matches under this competition will have players disabled by default.


Saving Your Configuration

After configuring all settings:


1. Click Save at the bottom of the screen


2. These settings now apply automatically to all future matches created under this competition


Matches that have already been created are not affected by changes to competition-level settings. Only new matches created after you save the configuration will inherit these settings.
