#3. Teams & players

Teams and players live under All Teams and All Players in the ScoreKeeper hub. Both pages use the same layout: a searchable list on the left, details on the right, and a + in the app bar to add.

#Which comes first?

It depends on how your event works:

• Draft-style event (teams are picked on draft night): create the teams with their captains first, then add every other player with no team. The draft assigns them (Chapter 5).
• Pre-set teams: create teams, then add players and assign them to a team as you go — or add everyone first and use bulk edit to assign teams.

Either way, teams must exist before you can schedule a game.

#Teams

Open All Teams. Until you add one you'll see an empty list.

#Add a team

Press + (New team) and fill in Team name. Optionally add a logo, pick a Captain from the players you've already added, and — if divisions or men's/women's categories are enabled — a Division or category. The division list includes Create new if you need a group that is not there yet. Press Save, or Save & add another (or just hit Enter) to keep going.

#Team details

Select a team in the list to see it on the right. The chip under each team name shows its captain (or No captain).

• Team tab — team name, logo, captain, division/category. Press Edit to change them. The division dropdown includes Create new, or Manage divisions for the full list.
• Players tab — the current roster. Add players opens a search box where you can pick several players at once; the × beside a player removes them from the team (back to No team). Tap a player to see and edit their numbers, position and skill rating.

#Divisions

Divisions are named groups (East / West, A / B, U12 / U14, …). Turning on Use divisions only enables the feature — it does not create any groups.

Existing events stay on Play anyone × Top teams overall until you change those settings. Turning the switch on does not change how the bracket is built.

#Create groups and move teams

1. Turn on Use divisions in Tournament Settings → Features (or the Setup wizard). A Divisions tile appears on the ScoreKeeper hub.
2. Open Divisions and press Add division. Name the group (East, U14, Flight A, …). New teams land in Unassigned until you move them.
3. Move teams into a group:
   • Phone / narrow screen: tap Move on a row, pick the destination, or select several teams and Move N to….
   • Computer (wide screen): drag a team between columns. The ⋮ menu on a row still works if you prefer not to drag.
   • You can also pick a division — or Create new — on a team in All Teams. Manage divisions on that dropdown opens this page.

Rename or delete a group with the icons on its column. Deleting a division that still has teams warns you first; those teams go back to Unassigned. Players and games do not store a division of their own.

#Regular season (Settings accordion)

On the Divisions page, Settings is a closed accordion. Open it for Regular season only — playoff format is not on this page.

Show division totals on rankings appears in this accordion only when the event is still Play anyone × Top teams overall. The same Regular season control is also under Tournament Settings → Features.

Playoff format lives in Playoff setup (the gear on the Playoffs page). When the bracket manager is on, Divisions shows a Playoff format is in Playoff setup link.

Scheduling never blocks a pairing. If a regular-season pair breaks the mode (or a team is still Unassigned), you get a warning and the game still counts. See Chapter 6.

#Playoffs

Set Playoffs in Playoff setup (Chapter 7):

Unassigned teams can still make Top teams overall. They do not qualify for Separate or Combined playoffs.

Public rankings default to By division, with a Tournament-wide view and the same tab chrome as Playoffs. See Chapter 8.

#Players

Open All Players. The banner under the app bar shows your usage against the plan — Rookie credit · 24 / 32 players · 4 / 4 teams.

#Add players quickly

Press + (New player). The dialog is built for speed: type a Name and press Enter to save and start the next one. Add optional fields only when you need them by pressing + Photo, + Position, + Number, + Skill rating or + Team.

#Player details and editing

Select a player to see their Profile and Details. Press Edit to change the name, team, Primary #, Alt # (for the alternate jersey), position, skill rating or photo, or untick Active to keep a player on file but off the ice (inactive players are hidden from scoring rosters and show an Inactive chip). Delete removes them entirely.

#Bulk editing players

Tick the boxes beside several players (or the box at the top to select everyone visible in your search) and use the buttons that appear:

• Edit — assign a team, set a position or skill rating for all selected players in one go.
• Delete — remove them.
• Clear — deselect.

#Plan limits

The counter in the banner is the number of player and team records that count against your credit. When you reach the limit, New player / New team is disabled and the server declines further additions with a message like This tournament has reached its 32-player limit.

If an event goes over its limit (for example after a downgrade), OutScore freezes scheduling, scoring and drafting until you either remove players or Upgrade the event — deleting is always allowed. See Chapter 9 for upgrading.
