Setup Shared Seasons

Overview

Shared seasons have a unique setup compared to non-shared seasons so they can only be setup through the Website tab. They can't be setup by using the setup season button in GameDay. These seasons are used by manual schedule sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming, etc. to be able to connect those schedules to other websites.

This information is for Non-Networked Sports, if you are looking for information on how to set up your seasons for Networked Sports, click here.
