How to Edit Match Times, Dates, and Locations

Manually Editing Match Details​

Whether you're making a quick adjustment or building a schedule manually, Score7 allows you to edit match times, dates, locations, and referees for any match in your tournament.

This is useful if:

  • You want full control over scheduling
  • You’re responding to last-minute changes or availability issues
  • You prefer manual scheduling instead of using the automatic scheduler

How to Edit Match Details​

  1. Go to the Matches section of your tournament
  2. Locate the round or stage where the match is listed
  3. Find the match you want to edit
  4. Click Update Date, Location & Referee (usually displayed as a button or menu option)

Fields You Can Edit​

  • Date: Choose the day the match will be played
  • Time: Set the exact starting time (based on your tournament’s time zone)
  • Court: Pick a court from your saved list, or type a new name (optional). The field is a pick-or-type box — open it to choose one of your saved courts (venues/fields), or start typing a brand-new name. Anything new you type is added to your saved courts automatically when you save the match, so it’s ready to pick on the next one.
  • Referee: Same pick-or-type box for referees — choose from your saved referees or type a new name, which is added to your list automatically.

All updates are saved instantly and reflected on the public tournament page.

Your saved courts and referees are managed on the Courts and Referees tabs of the Scheduler page, where you can rename, delete, and reorder them. Reusing the same saved names keeps your schedule tidy and avoids accidental duplicates (names are unique per tournament, ignoring capitalisation).

Time Zone Handling​

Match times are shown based on your tournament’s time zone setting. You can change this in Advanced Settings:

  • Choose a fixed time zone (e.g., “America/New_York”)
  • Or set it to “browser-based” so each user sees times in their local zone (ideal for online tournaments)

Tips for Manual Scheduling​

  • Avoid conflicts by staggering match times if using the same court or referee
  • Set up your courts once on the Courts tab, then just pick them on each match — no need to retype names for multi-site events
  • If you’ve already used the scheduler, uncheck “override scheduled matches” before regenerating

Use Case: Mixed Approach​

It’s common to use the scheduler for most of your event, then adjust a few matches manually. Score7 supports both approaches without any issues.
