Manage Competitions/Editions

In PlayerFan, a Competition represents an organised event, such as a tournament or a league. Editions are the different iterations or seasons of that competition (e.g., the 2024 season of the Regional Victoria Football League). Any team or player a streamer creates must be associated with a competition and can be associated with multiple editions of that competition.

Step 1: Access Event Management

  1. Tap the Event Management button (represented by a plus icon (+)) in the bottom navigation bar of the app.
  2. Tap the "Add New" button.

Step 2: Begin Competition Creation

Depending on whether you have existing content, you will see different options:

  • First ever Competition: If this is your first time, the only option offered will be "Create New Competition".
  • Existing Competition: You will see both "Create New Competition" and "Add to Competition" (to create a new edition, team, or player).

Tap "Create New Competition" to start defining your new event structure.

Step 3: Define Competition Details

Tapping "Create New Competition" takes you to the creation screen where you must define the following details:

  1. Competition Name: Enter the official name of your league or tournament (e.g., Regional Victoria Football League).
  2. Sport: Select the relevant sport from the provided drop-down list.

    Note: The selected sport determines if the competition is for teams or individual players. If your sport is missing, please contact support@playerfan.tv.

  3. Gender: Select the gender division: Male, Female, or Mix.
  4. Age Division: Select the primary age group for the competition:
  5. Youth: Under 5
  6. Junior: 5 to 10
  7. Intermediate: 11 to 14
  8. Senior: Over 14
  9. Competition Logo: Upload a visual identifier for the competition.
  10. Once all fields are complete, tap the "Create" button at the bottom of the screen.

Step 4: Create New Edition

After successfully creating the competition, you will automatically be taken to the Create New Edition screen. An edition captures the specific instance of the competition.

Fill in the following details for the new edition:

  1. Edition Name: A name to distinguish this season/year (e.g., 2025 Edition).
  2. Period (Start and End Date): Select the start and end dates for this edition of the competition.
  3. Logo: Upload a specific logo for this edition (optional).
  4. Location Details: Provide the Region, City, and Suburb where the competition takes place.
  5. Description: Provide a brief description of the edition.
  6. Tap the final "Create" button to complete the edition creation.

The competition and its first edition are now created, allowing you to add teams or players.
