Ghost Games

Sometimes, you wish to add a game but do not want it to appear on the public schedule. We call this a “ghost game.” You will also want to add a ghost game on a 5-team division or a pure round robin without a final, but may also wish to declare a winner of the division.

Your event may also be hosting a league game that can be played during your tournament, but you do not want this counting in the standings for the two teams.

To add a ghost game:

  • Scheduling Module>Build/Edit Game Schedules>GO!
  • Scroll to the Enter New Game; Add in the game details
  • Check the Ghost Game checkbox
  • Click on Add Game

If this is a 5-team or Round Robin where you want to record a champion/finalist, it is best that you number the game 0 and schedule it on the last day and the last time slot so it appears at the bottom of the game schedules in your admin area. (it will not appear on the public schedule)

When a champion and finalist emerge, score the game as 1-0 with the champion as the home team and the finalist as the guest team. The result will appear on the Champions table, available on the sidebar.

Editing/Deleting a Ghost Game
To edit a ghost game, click on the Edit button and edit as normal. You will not be able to make the ghost game visible. If you need to make it visible, you will need to delete the game and re-add it above, without checking the ghost game checkbox.

To force a Champion/Finalist on a 5-team or irregular format, score the champion team 1 and the finalist 0 on a FINAL ghost game.
