For convenience and to help make things easier to set up, we have split this screen into sections, which we will describe below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competition Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, an important note about competition types. There are 2 types of competition in RackEmApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Team competitions are for competitions or tournaments using the teams from your team season. The operating mode for these is that Captain;s enter their lineups and score their matches in the same way that League matches operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 person, 4 person or Doubles competitions are not Team competitions in RackEmApp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is for any competition that is not using the teams from your main league season. This is the most common type and the ones you would always use for one day comps or one offs irrespective of the number or players per entry you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players per entry is the key differentiating factor. If it is a doubles comp, that becomes 2. For a 3 person comp, that becomes 3 etc.

Doubles, trebles, 4 person and above competitions that are not for teams competing in a league season are always set up as Individual competitions<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This provides the basic structure of the competition. The default screen has these properties available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But depending on which options you select can look like this, as checking boxes unveils additional properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
