How to save, compare and restore schedule versions

Before a big change, save a copy of the schedule. Saved schedules keeps your copies by name, shows any two side by side, and puts one back in a few clicks. Dodgeball Hub also saves a copy on its own before every generation, so you can undo one.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event or its schedule.
• To restore a copy, the schedule must be unlocked, and no game can have a score yet. Once scores come in, restoring would delete them, so it’s refused.

Steps

1. On your event’s Schedule page, click Saved schedules in the toolbar. In a narrow window, it’s in the ⋮ menu (More options) at the end of that row.

   

2. Click Save current schedule.

   

3. Give the copy a Name you’ll recognize later, such as the change you’re about to make.

   

4. Click Save. The copy joins the list, newest first.

   

5. To compare, tick two schedules, such as Current Schedule and an earlier copy.

   

6. Click Compare.

   

7. The two schedules show side by side. To compare another one, pick it from the list at the top of either side.

   

8. To put a saved copy back, click Restore above it.

   

9. Click Ok. The copy replaces the current schedule and blueprint. The copy itself stays in the list.

   

10. Both sides now show the current schedule, which is the copy you restored. Click ✕ (Close) to go back to the schedule.

    

What restoring puts back

• The games, with their courts and times, the breaks, and who referees each game.
• The blueprint, the groups and matchups, the playoff brackets, and the scheduling settings: playing days and times, the courts, and game lengths.
• Teams and registrations stay as they are. A team deleted since the copy was saved leaves an empty place in its games.
