How to Create a Lock-In Time for a Team

Note 1: A lock-in time is a period of time within which the scheduler will only schedule games for that team.

Note 2: Lock-in times for a team participating in a tournament will most likely occur for a period of time within one day.

Note 3: Lock-in times for a team participating in a league may occur for a period of time within one day or one week, and are more likely to utilize a weekly recurrence than lock-in times for a tournament.
