As a Bout Committee user, you have the ability to create and edit a Venue, and then attach that Venue to your Tournament or Clinic.
A Venue in the AskFRED system represents a unique location - a single building or address. You can attach a single Venue record to multiple events.
Best Practices
We strongly recommend that you do not create multiple Venue records for the exact same physical location. If your club has a name change, you can update the name of that Venue record, but we recommend that you not create a second Venue in the system.
We strongly recommend that you do not edit a Venue to a new physical address. This will change the location of ALL events associated with this Venue, including future and past events. This can result in people showing up to the wrong place or having difficulty finding your past events' results. If you need to select a different Venue for an event, select a new Venue from the dropdown or create a new one if the appropriate Venue is not present.
The Venue creation and editing form has an autocomplete window that shows up when you start to type a street address. We recommend that you use this feature, clicking the address that looks right, and use the auto-filled data as-is. The data populated when clicked attaches the Venue to a specific Google Maps pin. Modifying that data can result in the pin being in a different location than expected. If the address of your Venue doesn't show up in the autocomplete list, this isn't necessarily a problem, but it is worth checking on.
