  • In order to select the facility, click the search button for "Facility Combo Key".

For the "Facility Loc" column, search the facility acronym to narrow down to that facility. For my example, I will use "Gymnasium Full" at Bowie Community Center.

  2. Input "Begin Time" and "End time" for only the specific days of the week the league will take place.

If your facility or league requires a break in between a series of games for a rest, you can use "Begin Time 2" and "End Time 2" to create a second window for the games to continue. Just make sure to leave space between "End Time 1" and "Begin Time 2".

3. Once all information is entered, click "Save".
