Within RackEmApp, teams, matches and competitions can all be assigned to Venues and then in turn a Table. In fact, for team based seasons, it is a pre-requisite, as a team needs to be assigned a venue and table to ensure there are no fixtures clashes with other teams sharing a table.
Within your vanues, you also set up the tables which are present in those venues. Tables then have additional functionality that allow you to Stream them, but also utilise Tablet Scoring.
Venues also appear in the Information menu of your website so your members and other casual visitors know where you play and also what matches are assigned to them.
Configuration of these can be found in Your Organization > Venues
You’ll be shown the list of Venues. You can either press New Venue to create a new one, or tap the name/edit pencil to edit the venue.
It is also possible to delete a venue using the red trashcan, but it will only allow you to do this if the venue/table has not been used by a team, competition or match.
Click the New Venue button to create a new venue and add tables. Each venue should have a name, and then use the +/trash buttons to add an remove tables.
