Overview

A competition within the SportsM8 platform is a single tournament or season long competition. The competition is associated to a single venue or entity, sometimes referred to as association in some sports.

In some sports they may run competitions over multiple venues, but within SportsM8 we would consider the venue a competition, but ultimately it comes down to how the venue/competition is administered. If it is independent of the other venue, or even parts of the administration is independent, then we would suggest it be a separate competition within SportsM8. Using our Entity hierarchy, future releases of SportsM8 will provide governance at an entity level allowing easy oversight of multiple competitions.
