How can duplicate fixtures occur?
Occasionally, schools with their own SOCS Sport account will upload their own competition fixtures rather than editing the existing competition fixtures that already appear in their team fixture listings. This can cause problems by creating duplicate fixtures, which aren't correctly pinned to the relevant competitions.
The best way to reduce the issue of duplicate fixtures
We recommend that you inform participating schools using SOCS to edit their league/competition fixtures and NOT to add duplicate fixtures, as these will not be pinned to the playing schedules, league tables or knockout grids in the Competition Microsite.
If they do accidentally upload duplicate fixtures, they should delete the duplicates they have added.
To reduce the risk of schools uploading their own competition fixtures, we recommend sending the playing schedule to SOCS before sending it to the participating schools.
All competition fixtures appearing in the sports website of schools with SOCS are automatically linked to the Competition Microsite and these fixtures cannot be deleted using the Fixture & Result editor from the SOCS control panel. This is to prevent accidental deletion by Schools using SOCS
