Adding an Event

Network Schedules

This schedule type is used for team based sports, such as football, basketball, volleyball etc. The schedules for these sports are connected through the Presto network, so any user with access to either team can add the game to the schedule and it will add the event for the opponent’s schedule in Presto as well. Any changes made to that event will be on all websites where that event is connected.

Sign into your site and click into the Game day tab.
Click on the appropriate season in the right-side panel. If you want to edit an out of season sport, click the "View All Seasons" bar at the top
Click into the "Schedule" tab.
Before adding events make sure to review the events in the Schedule tab to see if there are games already entered for your team by the opponent.
Click the [add event] link in the upper right corner.
On the adding event page you will have the following fields that you can fill in:
- Date
- Time- Enter the time and time zone based on the host school or the location of the event. For example, the home team is based in the Eastern time zone and the away team is based in the Central time zone. The game time should be entered in Eastern time and it will be adjusted on the front end of the away team’s Presto website to reflect Central time zone. If you don’t know the time for the event you can leave this field blank and it will show as TBA on the schedule page.
- Visitor and Home team names - It is extremely important when adding teams to choose the names that appear in the dropdown menu. The teams listed here are synced with our network and should always be used. If you want to change how a name appears on your site, following the steps to customize your events. If you are unable to find a team name in this list you can reach out to our support team with a request to have the team added by submitting this form- Contact Us

Notes on identifiers/settings

No Contest

The no contest identifier is used to mark a game that isn’t supposed to count against a team’s record or stats. This is used for exhibition games, scrimmages, preseason games, etc. This information will show on all sites that are using this event. If an event is an exhibition for you but not your opponent, you can also customize this setting for your site on the customize your events page.

Neutral Sites

The neutral site field is an optional field that can be filled in to show when a game is located at a site that is not one of the teams playing. This information will show on all sites that are using this schedule.

PrimeTime

The PrimeTime setting is used to generate live stats links on Presto websites the game is connected to. Here’s more information regarding setting up PrimeTime- https://help.prestosports.com/PrestoWeb/v1/setting-up-your-events-for-primetime

You can also add events by importing a CSV file and following the instructions on this page- https://help.prestosports.com/PrestoWeb/v1/import-csv

Manual Schedules

This schedule type is used for meet-based sports such as cross country, golf, track & field, etc. These schedules are team/website independent so they aren’t connected to any other Presto websites and will only display on the website they are created on.

Sign into your site and click into the Game day tab.
Click on the appropriate season in the right-side panel. If you want to edit an out of season sport, click the "View All Seasons" bar at the top
Click into the "Schedule" tab.
Before you add events to one of these schedules it’s recommended that you setup the sport name for the schedule first so that you don’t have to manually enter that for each event. This sport name is used on the composite schedule page and within the Scoreboard component. You can set that sport name by following these instructions:

Click edit schedule
Click Settings
Select the manual schedule type from the three options presented. This will determine how you can list team names for events. The first two options are used for sports that have mostly head-to-head competition. The third option is used for sports where your team participates in events where multiple teams are participating. Select the type that best fits your schedule and then click Continue.
Enter the sport name in the Sport field (Ex. Men’s Cross Country) and click Save Settings
Click Save Changes to finalize this setup

Once the sport name is set click the [add event] link in the upper right corner.
On the adding event page you will have the following fields that you can fill in:
