An organiser print pack gives each person a clear copy of the competition details they need. A central desk may need the whole schedule, while a volunteer on one pitch needs a shorter fixture list and room to write scores. Prepare those copies from the same competition record instead of maintaining separate spreadsheets.
Choose Sheets by the Job
A league organiser can use the same workflow for a matchday fixture list or a current division table. Competition managers create the pack; printed copies can then be handed to the people doing those jobs.
| Who is using the copy? | Useful sections | How to tailor it |
|---|---|---|
| Central organisers | Overview and fixtures | Include the full competition or the division being managed. |
| Pitch-side staff | Fixtures | Filter to the day and playing area, group by pitch, and turn on writing space. |
| Registration volunteers | Clubs / check-in | Select the relevant division and add attendance checkboxes and notes space. |
| Results club | Standings & knockout rounds and results | Include the full division standings and recorded completed results. |
Prepare the Competition First
Printing uses the current competition record. A printed copy does not publish a schedule or apply a separate working revision. Referee names appear on match sheets when assigned; an unassigned fixture has no referee line.
- Check club names and division entries.
- Confirm the match dates, times and playing-area names.
- Check assigned referees where they are needed.
- Enter any results that should appear in the pack.
- Check whether the preview is marked Organiser draft before distributing copies.
Open the Print Preview
Use Change options in the preview to adjust the pack and load a fresh copy. You can print to a connected printer or use the PDF-saving option offered by your browser or device.
- Open the competition in your organiser workspace.
- Open More and select Print tournament.
- Choose the sections to include. Fixtures and Clubs / check-in are selected initially.
- Select a division, or leave All divisions selected.
- For fixture and result sheets, choose a competition day or playing area when you need a smaller pack.
- Choose fixture grouping, paper size, orientation, logos and writing space.
- Select Open print preview. The document opens in a new tab.
- Review the sheets, then select Print / Save PDF to open the browser print dialog.
Understand What the Filters Include
Division applies to every selected section. Day and playing-area filters apply only to fixtures and results. Club lists, standings and knockout rounds retain the full selected division scope.
Undated fixtures remain in a clearly labelled Time to be confirmed group when a day is selected. A playing-area filter still applies to those matches. Standings and knockout sections are available when the competition format supports them.
Choose Paper and Writing Space
Recorded scores stay visible when writing space is enabled. Match times use Europe/London, matching the competition workspace. The large print button and application controls do not appear on the printed sheets.
- Choose A4 or Letter to match the paper available.
- Use portrait or landscape according to the amount of detail on the sheet.
- Show logos when useful, or turn them off for a simpler copy.
- Turn on writing space for blank score boxes on unplayed fixtures and attendance checkboxes with notes space on club lists.
- Match the paper size and orientation in the browser print dialog, and check its preview before confirming.
Print-Pack Distribution Checklist
- The competition name, selected division, day and playing area are correct.
- Club names, match times and playing areas are readable.
- Any Time to be confirmed fixtures are understood by the staff receiving the copy.
- The generation timestamp identifies this version.
- Pitch-side and registration copies have enough writing space.
- Each organiser receives the sections for their job.
- Someone is responsible for entering handwritten scores and attendance updates into the application.
Keep Copies Current During the Day
The pack is a snapshot, not a live document. If fixture times, check-in status, results or standings change, refresh or reopen the preview and distribute replacement copies where needed. Use the generation timestamp to tell newer and older copies apart.
Paper notes do not automatically update the competition. Enter the scores and check-in changes into the workspace, then use a fresh pack for the next stage or shift. Keep the current competition page available for changes made after the copy was generated.
