Problem
When attempting to use the League Matrix Schedule Generator, an error pops up and the page will not successfully populate the matrix with any games. The time slots selected are accurately filled and all dates and facilities were properly selected in the setup. The Auto Schedule Generator may still work despite this issue to the matrix.
Error Message
Error: Only 0 of the (XX) schedule records needed were created!
Solution
Ensure there are no rules linked to the selected facilities for the league that would contradict the time slots needed for the league.
Make sure there are no redundancies in the template selected if running the Manual Matrix Schedule Generator (duplicate game numbers, a team number greater than the number of teams in the league, etc.).
Ensure the dates and times entered for the facilities in the league set up under the Facilities tab are consistent with the dates and times you are creating slots for in the Matrix.
Steps For Solution
To ensure there are no rules that would contradict the time slots needed for the league:
- From the RecTrac main menu, go to Facility Management.
- Highlight a facility that is included in the affected league from the DataGrid.
- Click Change.
- Click the Rules tab,
- Review the rules selected and the specific criteria to ensure that the league settings will not conflict.
- For example, if a rule on a facility linked to the league suggests the reservation hours are only M-F 8 am-6 pm, but the league schedule is set for Sundays at 2 pm, you will receive this error due to the conflicting date/times.
- If any changes were made, click Save to save the Facility record.
To ensure there are no redundancies in the template selected if running the Manual Matrix Schedule Generator:
- From the RecTrac main menu, go to League Template Management.
- From the DataGrid, highlight the template you're having an issue with.
- Click Change.
- Go through each line item to make sure there are no duplicates or check to see if the total number of games on the template matches up with the number of games allotted for each team. (i.e. 5 weeks, 16 teams, 10 games per team(play two per week) = 80 games/matchups on the template).
- Make changes if needed.
To ensure the dates and times entered for the facilities in the league set up under the Facilities tab are consistent with the dates and times you are creating slots for in the Matrix:
- From the RecTrac main menu, go to League Management.
- Highlight the league from the DataGrid.
- Click Change.
- Click on the Facilities tab.
- Scroll through the DataGrid, and make note of the facilities' date and time structure.
The results of running the Matrix will be mixed if you enter the wrong dates and times for the specific facilities within the league. Monitoring these will maximize the Matrix's success and account for fewer issues when running the Auto or Manual Matrix.
