#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 in Setup or Tournament Settings only enables the feature — it does not create any groups, and it does not change how playoffs are built.

1. Turn on Use divisions in Tournament Settings → Features (or the Setup wizard).

2. Open Divisions from the ScoreKeeper hub. Add named groups, then move teams from Unassigned. On a phone tap Move on a row (or select several and Move N to…). On a computer you can also drag between columns. You can also pick a division (or Create new) on a team.

3. Open Settings on that page for Regular season. Set Playoffs in Playoff setup (gear on the Playoffs page). Short titles:

   Regular season	Meaning
   Play anyone	Any two teams (default)
   Within each division	League games stay inside a division
   Across divisions only	League games are against other groups

   Playoffs	Meaning
   Top teams overall	One bracket from overall standings (default)
   Separate playoffs per division	A bracket and champion per division
   Combined playoffs from divisions	Top N per division, plus wild cards, then one bracket

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

Scheduling never blocks a pairing. If a regular-season pair breaks the mode, you get a warning and the game still counts.

Public rankings default to By division, with a Tournament-wide view. Show division totals is only offered for Play anyone × Top teams overall.

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.

#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.
