  Type the name of the facility, up to 16 characters.  This should be just the name.  You don't have to include the city as this information is entered below and also displayed on listings.
  
  
• Public
  Checking this box will make this facility and it's information available to the public.
  
  
• Address
  The address is optional, but if given, it will cause a Map button to be displayed for the facility on its Detail page.  If the user presses it, a detailed map shows the location given by the address.  If you're not sure of the number, just use the street where people park and perhaps guess at the number until the map is close enough.
   
• City, State and Zip:
  The city and state are not optional and must be entered for listings to be displayed properly.  Visitors can choose to sort the list of facilities by either the facility name or its location.  This makes it easy to find what they're looking for whether they know the name or location.  Also, a city map can be displayed for the visitor using the information you enter here.
  
  Note: for Canadian addresses, enter the province as an abbreviation in the State field and enter the country in the next field.

Directions

• Directions:
  This field is optional, but members (especially new members) will greatly appreciate whatever information you can provide here.  This is a free-form field where you can enter as much information as you like.  You can even include HTML formatting tags in your text like "<b>Bold</b>" or "<i>Italic</i>" or even a hyperlink like: "<a href='http://RinkWebSite.com'>.

Scheduling

• Alias
  This optional field can be used to specify an alternate name for the facility that would appear in imported game schedules.  When you use the Game Import feature and facility names within your import file are not the same as the Name field above, use this field to specify the alias name.  When your schedule is imported, the import utility will first try to match facility names in the import file to the Alias field.  If this field is blank, the utility will then try to match the Name field.  If no match is found, an error will be reported and the particular game will not be imported.
   
• Home
  This check box is used to designate a home facility - a local place where your association plays home games.  Facilities designated as Home will appear at the top of scheduling lists in order to make it easier to find them when scheduling games.
  
  
• Booking
  This is the number of simultaneous events which can occur on this facility. For example, if you have two teams that use the same field for practice, you would want to enter "2."
