Change game length and how early to arrive

Set how early each sport needs you there, and how long games, practices and packing up take.

On this page

Each game or practice has three numbers: how long it lasts, Before a game and After. Before a game is how early you need to be there. After is time to pack up and get to the car.

Who can do this: an Editor, someone who can change the schedule, or the Owner, the one person in charge. A Viewer, someone who sees the schedule and changes only their own things, sees each number, with no Change beside it.

  1. Tap Schedule at the bottom, then tap the day. On a tablet or computer, it's on the left.

  2. Tap the name of the game or practice. Its details open below it.

  3. Under How this is timed, tap Change next to the number.

  4. Tap − or + to set the minutes. On a computer, you can also type the number.

  5. Under Apply to, pick how far it goes: only this one, or its league (the league or club it plays in). For how early and how long after, you can also pick every team of that sport.

    Ava’s hockey game on a phone, changing Be there 40 min before faceoff, with Apply to open: Only this game, All of Fairhollow Youth Hockey, or Every hockey team.
    Choose how far a change goes.
  6. Tap Save.

What you'll see

We check your whole season again at once. The card then says where each number comes from, such as set on this one. A day gone by can't be changed.

How long games last

A game's length belongs to its league, though one game can differ.

Each league has a clock: how many periods, how long each is, and what the whistle adds. We add it up for you.

  1. Open the menu (☰), tap Teams, then Game length under the league.

  2. Tap − or + on each part, then tap Done.

A league's clock is every team's in it. Without one, each team's age group decides. Leagues we know get theirs when you add them.

Other places to change them

For a whole sport, open Settings from the menu. Under Time a player needs, each sport has how early and how long after. Use defaults puts them back.

Settings, Time a player needs: for hockey, a 60-minute practice, 40 minutes early for a game, 25 for a practice and 15 to pack up, then soccer’s.
Your numbers for each sport.

For one league, open Teams. Leave a box under Timing for this league empty to use the usual number. Clear this league’s timing empties them all.

A number won't change?

The most exact number wins: the game itself, then its league. For a game's length, the team's level (its age group or division) comes next. For the rest, the sport does.

If the schedule gives the end time, nothing else changes it: change the game, or its weekly series.
