Generate fixtures

With entrants in place, press Generate fixtures. The engine builds every match your format calls for — rounds, pools, byes and progression all handled.

Safe to repeat

Generating is idempotent: pressing it again after adding two late entrants only creates the missing matches and shows you a diff of what changed. Played results are never touched.

Times and courts

Generated fixtures have an order but no clock until you schedule them. Use the schedule board to drag matches onto courts and times, or Auto-schedule to lay the whole day out in one pass, then fine-tune. Courts, match length and the start/end dates come from the Scheduling step you filled in when creating the division; play hours and rest gaps live in the division's schedule settings, and the timezone they are read in comes from the organisation (Timezones).
