✅ You're Ready!

The extension icon (GotSport Importer) now appears in your toolbar. You'll use this to import schedules whenever you're on a LeagueApps team page or GotSport schedule page.

Team Setup

Before importing schedules, let the extension detect your teams. This one-time setup makes future imports seamless.

  1. Go to Your LeagueApps Dashboard

    Visit your club's main dashboard page, for example Lou Fusz Athletic Dashboard

  2. Click the Extension Icon

    The extension automatically detects all teams from your "Staff Assignments" section and saves them in the background. You'll see confirmation in the popup.

  3. All Teams Ready

    Each team is saved with default settings. You can now import schedules for any team immediately.

Teams detected from Lou Fusz Athletic dashboard Example: Extension detects LFA Red Star Samba, LFA Blue Eclipse, etc.

Quick Import from GotSport

★ Recommended

Start on GotSport and import with one click - no copy/paste needed. Can't start from the GotSport page? See URL Import in the appendix.

  1. Open GotSport Schedule

    While viewing a team schedule on GotSport, click the extension icon

  2. Click the Highlighted Import Button

    The extension recognizes which team the schedule is for and highlights that team with a 📥 Import button. Click it and the extension navigates to that team's LeagueApps page and imports the GotSport schedule automatically.

  3. Review and Confirm

    The comparison view loads automatically - just review and import as usual

Team list on GotSport page Extension shows your teams - click "📥 Import" next to the right one

💡 Example: Importing LFA Red Star Samba Schedule

You're on GotSport viewing the LFA Red Star Samba schedule. Click the extension, find "LFA Red Star Samba" in the list, click "📥 Import", and you're taken straight to the LeagueApps import screen. No URLs to copy!

Review What Will Happen

The extension compares your GotSport schedule to existing LeagueApps games and shows you exactly what will change.

New game comparison with green text and cyan status New game: Green text in LeagueApps fields, cyan "New event will be created" status
Existing game with changes showing red status Existing game: "Has updates available" status with red strikethrough showing old values

Game Status at a Glance

  • Green text in LeagueApps fields - New game that will be created
  • "New event will be created" (cyan status) - Ready to import
  • "Exact match found" (red status) - Game already exists, no action needed
  • "Possible duplicate" (yellow status) - Looks like this game already exists
  • "Manually matched" - You pointed this game at an event yourself
  • "Forcing new event" - A match was found, but you chose to create a new game anyway

Fixing a Missing Venue (📍)

If a GotSport venue has no LeagueApps equivalent, the LeagueApps card turns amber and its Location line shows what will actually be sent: TBD ⚠️ not mapped, with a 📍 Set venue button right next to it.

Clicking it asks two quick questions. First which venue — type a few letters to narrow the list. Then, if that venue has fields, which field (or "Whole venue"), with "← Choose a different venue" to go back. Leave "Remember this for …" ticked and the extension applies the same venue to every other game there, and to every future import, automatically.

Game card with an unmapped GotSport venue and a Set venue button "Missouri Rush Sports Park" has no LeagueApps match, so the Location reads TBD ⚠️ not mapped with 📍 Set venue beside it

Picked the wrong one?

Click the ✕ next to the 📍 to clear it. That forgets the saved venue, puts the game back to TBD ⚠️ not mapped, and reverts the other games at that venue too — so you can start over.

Understanding Game Status

Seeing What Changed

For games with updates, you'll see:

  • Strikethrough - Current value in LeagueApps
  • Regular text - New value from GotSport
Game with location changes Strikethrough = old value, plain text = new value

Previewing Notes

Click 📝 on any game card to see the generated notes:

Notes preview red 📝 indicator means notes will be updated

Notes include game details, location, opponent, and a GotSport Match # for tracking schedule updates.

How Opponent Teams Work

Team Matching

The extension automatically matches opponent team names from GotSport to teams in LeagueApps. It handles abbreviations and minor typos, so "Lou Fusz Athletic Red Star Samba" matches "LFA Red Star Samba".

Creating Missing Teams

When an opponent doesn't exist (like "Sporting STL Blue"), the extension creates it as an external team automatically. You'll see these marked with ➕ in the Team Analysis section before import.

💡 Example: LFA Playing Sporting STL

Your LFA Red Star Samba team plays "Sporting STL Blue" but that team doesn't exist in LeagueApps yet. The extension creates "Sporting STL Blue" as an external opponent before importing the game. Next time you play them, they already exist!

Customizing Team Settings

Each team can have its own arrival times, game notes, and custom messages. Click the ⚙️ button next to any team name.

Settings modal Customize messages, timing, and which details to include in game notes

Common Settings

  • Home/Away Messages - Add kit colors or special instructions (e.g., "Wear White kit, bring water")
  • Arrival Time - How early players should arrive (default: 30 minutes)
  • Game Duration - Length of games (default: 60 minutes)

The settings modal shows a live preview as you make changes!

Notes & Re-Importing

What to Include in Notes

Toggle which details appear in game notes:

  • 🏆 Event Title - League name (e.g., "SLYSA Fall 2025")
  • Game Number - Sequential number (e.g., "game #5")
  • 🏅 Division - Division name
  • 📍 Venue - Location/field name

Re-Importing Updated Schedules

When GotSport publishes schedule changes, re-import the schedule and the extension shows exactly what changed. Use saved schedules to do it in one click.

Saved schedules section Click 🔄 to re-import when times or locations change

💡 Example: Time Change for LFA Red Star Samba

GotSport moved Saturday's game from 10am to 2pm. Just open the extension on the LFA Red Star Samba team page, click 🔄 next to the saved schedule, and re-import. The extension detects the time change and shows it in red - select and update that game only.

Troubleshooting

Extension Won't Load

Problem: Extension icon shows but clicking it does nothing

Solution: Make sure you're on a LeagueApps team calendar page (not the main dashboard or other pages)

"Could Not Connect" Error

Problem: Error appears after clicking Import

Solution: Refresh the LeagueApps page and try again

Location Shows as "Unknown"

Problem: Game location from GotSport doesn't match anything in LeagueApps

Solution: Contact support@golytics.net with the GotSport location name (e.g., "Buder Park Field 3"). We'll add it to the mapping.

Fixing a Wrong Match (🔗)

Problem: A game matched the wrong calendar entry — common when you play the same opponent twice in a day.

Solution: Every GotSport card has a 🔗 button in its bottom-right corner. Click it to see every existing LeagueApps game, closest in time first — start typing to filter by date, opponent or venue. Pick one to update it instead, or choose "➕ Create a new event" to import the game as new.

Each LeagueApps game can only be claimed by one game, so choosing one automatically frees it from whichever game had it. Practices and trainings are never listed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this for multiple teams?

Yes! Perfect for coaches managing multiple teams. Each team has separate settings for messages, timing, and notes.

Will this overwrite my existing games?

No. The extension only updates games if you manually select them after seeing the "Has Updates" status. You're always in control.

What if I import the same schedule twice?

Games will show as "Exact Match" - no duplicates will be created.

Can I customize game notes?

Yes! Click ⚙️ next to your team to toggle which details appear (league name, division, location, etc).

Why isn't a location matching?

We maintain a mapping of GotSport location names to LeagueApps locations. If one is missing, email support@golytics.net with the location name and we'll add it.

Can I import tournament schedules?

Yes, but all games import as regular games. Tournament-specific features coming in a future update.

Is my data private?

Yes! Everything stays in your browser. The extension never sends your data to external servers. Settings are stored locally on your computer.

Appendix: URL Import

Alternative method

Quick Import is the recommended way to bring in a schedule. Use this method instead when you can't start from the GotSport schedule page — for example when someone sends you a schedule link. It works with any GotSport schedule URL.

  1. Copy GotSport Schedule URL

    Go to your team's schedule on GotSport and copy the URL from the address bar

  2. Navigate to Your Team in LeagueApps

    Go to the team's calendar page (e.g., LFA Red Star Samba)

  3. Click Extension Icon

    Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar

  4. Paste and Import

    Paste the URL into the extension and click "Import from URL"

Then what?

From here both methods behave identically — carry on at Review What Will Happen.
