 * Hello,
 * I wondered if it is possible to generate all games of a season automatically.
   It is so tedious to create those games one by one (even if I import them by CSV).
 * Cheers, Justin

 * Hi Justin
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * I’m not sure if I get what you mean though. With the CSV importers, you can add
   multiple events at once.
 * Thanks!

 * I’ve created my seasons on Lobster League, exported from there and then imported
   the csv into Sportpress. I’ve also done the same sort of thing in Excel and saved
   the csv. There are many ways to do this.

 * 1. Make sure you’re leagues (Sportspress –> Leagues) and seasons (Sportspress–
   > Seasons) are setup to your liking.
    2. Go to Events –> Events and click on “
   Import Fixtures”. In that screen, click on “Click here to download a sample”.
   This will download a template for you. 3. Open the template in excel (or whatever
   editor you prefer) and populate the columns in the template. This is what mine
   currently looks like:
 * Date Time Venue Home Away
    7/10/2022 9:45 Skymark GTA Generals 4QT 7/10/2022 
   11:00 Skymark GTA Rockets Envy 7/10/2022 12:15 Skymark Bullets GTA Foxes 7/10/
   2022 13:45 Skymark Groundhogs Vibe
 * Once you have input your entire season, save the file as csv. NOTE: Sportspress
   will import the exact team names you’ve typed in. If SP can’t find a team name,
   it will create a new team.
    4. In “Import Fixtures”, click on “Choose File” and
   find the file you were just working on. Now click on “Upload file and import”.
   All this does is parse your file and start the import process. 5. On the next
   screen, be sure to set “Format”, “League”, “Season” and “Date Format” (matching
   it to your file). Also go and set any column that you are not using to “–Disable–”
   6. Go down the list of fixtures making sure that everything looks correct and
   that the number of fixtures is displayed at the bottom of the page (plus 1 – 
   as there will be a blank line at the end [which is normal and fine]) 7. If something
   does not look correct, you can abandon this import, go and fix the csv file and
   start the import process again. 8. If everything DOES look fine, you can click
   on the “Import Fixtures” button. When the import is complete, the system will
   tell you how many records it has imported and created events for.
 * Hope this helps you out.

 * Thanks for all the help.

    I meant exactly
   what Gator8 has in mind. Automatically creating all the fixtures of a season 
   in SportsPress itself.

    Thank you for the tip.
   However it seems that LeagueLobster requires the Pro version if you want to export
   games
 * Judging from the replys I guess this feature is not part of SportsPress. So any
   help is appreciated.
 * Cheers, Justin

 * “My instructions are still valid, except you will have to start with the downloaded
   template and create the fixtures in excel before importing them.”
 * This is the best part. You can still just create the fixtures in bulk using Excel,
   then use the CSV importer.
 * Thanks again for sharing gator8
