To add or modify teams, you must be a Community Administrator.
Before creating your teams, it is the best practice to set up the team type first and then move forward to the process of creating teams.
1. Click on the 'Teams' section in the home page top bar (highlighted in yellow in the image below)
2. Click on the Manage Team Types option, and then proceed to select the 'Add' button
3. Enter a team entry deadline and a team entry price if applicable. Leave 'Team join deadline' blank to allow participants to join teams indefinitely. Team types must be in the format: Men's/Women's/Mixed + Football/Futsal + Number of players.
4. Once added, all the team types will appear on the Manage Team Types section
5. We recommend that Admins create teams on behalf of your students and conduct team registration away from the system to give you greater control of the teams being entered. However, if you'd prefer to allow your students to enter teams themselves on BUCS Play, please follow this help guide.
To create your teams manually (recommended), go back to the Home section and click the Create Teams button in the 'What would you like to create' section.
6. Click Enter a new team.
7. Enter the team name. Please follow the naming convention of:
Team Name + Team Type (Men's/Women's/Mixed + Football/Futsal + Number of players)
(e.g. All-stars Men’s Football 11s)
(See point 3 for further information on creating team types)
At this point, you will also be able to add a Team Captain, change the Team Logo and alter Kit Colours.
8. You can continue to add teams at this stage by repeating Steps 2 and 3.
9. Click Continue and Click Confirm on the next page
10. The team should now appear under the Teams section.
11. Click on the team to enter the Team Hub. Here you will be able to: add Captains and Team Support, change kit colours, manage the squad and view fixtures.
