Deleting Games
You can delete games from your schedule if needed. Depending on whether you've started tagging plays, you may receive a token refund.
How to Delete a Game
- Click on the game in the calendar
- Click Delete
- A confirmation dialog will show your refund eligibility
- Confirm the deletion
Token Refund Eligibility
When you delete a game, the system checks if any play tagging work has been done:
| Situation | Token Refund |
|---|---|
| No plays tagged (even if videos uploaded) | 1 token refunded |
| 1 or more plays tagged | No refund |
Why this policy? Tokens represent game uploads. If you've uploaded the wrong video or created a game by mistake, you can undo it and get your token back. However, once you've started tagging plays (the actual analysis work), the token is considered used.
What Gets Deleted
When you delete a game, the following are permanently removed:
- The game record
- All uploaded videos and storage files
- All tagged plays (play instances)
- Any timeline configurations
Refund Confirmation
The delete confirmation dialog clearly shows:
- Green message if you'll receive a refund: "You will receive 1 token back"
- Amber warning if no refund: Shows how many plays have been tagged
Tip: If you uploaded the wrong video but haven't tagged any plays yet, delete the game and recreate it. You'll get your token back automatically.
Linking to Film
Games you create appear in your Film section. When you upload game video:
- Navigate to Film
- Select the game from your schedule
- Upload video files
- Start tagging plays
Tip: Create games in your schedule before uploading film. This keeps everything organized.
Linking to Practice Plans
Practice sessions can be linked to your practice plans:
- Create a practice plan in the Practice section
- Assign it to a specific date
- The practice appears on your schedule calendar
- Click to view or edit the practice plan
