Logging in

Coaches who are members of the league can log in. They will be provided with a username and password by the webmaster. Once logged in coaches can submit results for their team and edit their team sheet. They can also enter comments for any matches in which they played and enter their winnings for any given game.

Visitors can still view all the team sheets, statistics and league tables for any of the leagues that have run.

If you want to join a league then you'll need to contact the webmaster or commissioner of that league.

Once logged in you shouldn't need to log in again. If you want to log out because you are worried that someone else may use your account you can log out on the <coach name> Info page.

Submitting Match Results

To submit a match result a coach must first log in, and then go to the results page and follow the link to submit a result.

The submission page allows the coach to select the teams that have played and enter the score, casualties, gate and type of game. The first row applies to the home team, the 2nd row to the away team.

The types of game are:

League: a normal league game Semi Final: a playoff semi Final: The final of a season Other: any other sort of game (friendlies, practice etc) Please note that only league games are considered for calculating team statistics.

Submitting twice - if you double click the submit button you can submit the same match twice. You should inform the webmaster immediately, so he can correct the problem.

Editing your team

This feature is not always available. Some league do not allow coaches to directly change their teams and the commissioner is responsible for doing so

Once logged in an edit link will appear on the league tables allowing coaches to edit their team.

If the team has already been entered using the team editor then you will be taken straight there. Otherwise you will be taken to the default team editor. This allows the coach to change the name, race, rating and either upload a team sheet or specify a url. From here you can also begin to use the team editor.

Within the team editor you can enter all the information you would normally on a team sheet.

Team Colours These are the html colours used in both the team editor and team viewer. They can either be constants (e.g. black) or hexadecimal (hex) values. Hex values are pairs of numbers (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F) which indicate the intensity of colour. The first pair represent red, the middle two green and the last blue. So #ff0000 is pure red, #000000 is black, #ffffff white and #0000ff blue. The background is the normal background colour, text the text colour. The title background and text refer to the title areas of the page (e.g "Total Cost of Team"). The border colours refer to the highlighting used to create a raised border effect.
