The table columns contain information about individual Fixtures. Some of the information is live and drawn from Associations and Schools.
Below is a description outlining each column in the Fixture Tab:
Round: The stage of the competition in which the fixture takes place.
Home and Away: Display the Home and Away schools and their Teams.
Results: Once a result is entered, the score from the fixture will appear here. You can also record a result using the button in this column.
Details: The date, time and location will appear here. These details are live - depending on your school permissions, schools can update them and the most recent update will appear here.
Consensus: Here, you will see the following options regarding the result:
In Sync - schools and associations have matching information
Confirmed Results - association sets this and blocks schools from editing a result
Discrepancy - at least one school has out-of-date information
Not Yet Accepted - at least one school hasn't accepted the fixture
Fixture Type: The type of completion structure; Round Robin, Knockout or Friendly.

Use the checkboxes on the far right to select the Fixtures you want to manage.
Here Associations can manage Fixtures using the following actions:
Editing Fixtures
Once edited and saved, any fixture changes will be communicated back to the Schools involved via their Fixture Inbox - Changed Tab
Cancel Fixtures
After prompting you for confirmation, this action will cancel the selected fixtures for both involved Teams
They will remain in the Fixtures tab in the event that you wish to un-cancel them
Cancelled Fixtures will be communicated to the Schools involved via their Fixture Inbox - Cancelled Tab
Cancelled fixtures with a result entered will not count towards the Competition Ladder.

After prompting you for confirmation, this action will un-cancel the selected fixtures for both involved Teams
Confirm Scores
Un-confirm Scores

Editing Fixture Details
Associations can edit Fixture details using the following steps:
In the Fixtures tab, use the checkboxes on the far right to select the Fixtures you want to edit.
Click on the More button (top right)
Select Edit Fixtures
Enter the changes into the spreadsheet and click Update
Note: Schools will be notified of any updates made to Fixtures via their Fixture Inbox
Confirming or Unconfirming Results for Schools
Associations can manage results by confirming and unconfirming scores. If a score is unconfirmed, schools can edit the results. Once a score is confirmed, it will automatically update all the school scores and prevent them from being edited.
This action is useful if the association wishes to lock and finalise scores for one or more fixtures. It will prevent schools from making any further changes to the Result in their Clipboard instance.
To confirm or unconfirm Scores, follow the steps below:
In the Fixtures tab, use the checkboxes on the far right to select the Fixtures you want to edit.
Click on the More button (top right)
Select Confirm Score or Unconfirm Score
Click Confirm

Associations can make two adjustments to competition ladders:
Adjustment 1 – Adjust Column Value
Associations can adjust column values to increase or decrease column values, altering the ranking
Adjustment 2 – Override Rank
Associations can override a team's rank
To make these adjustments, follow the steps below:
Navigate to the Ladders tab
Click the Adjust button (located at the top right of each competition ladder)
Select either "Adjust Column Value" or "Override Rank"
Fill in the appropriate fields
Click Save
All changes will be visible below the Ladder in the 'Adjustments' section, which is only visible to logged-in Compete Users.
