Step 3 >> Use external generator (optional)

As you can copy data from Excel-like spreadsheets, let's generate matches in the external generator. 

We will use tournament template from https://excel-example.com/templates/sport-tournament-template

Copy and paste club names into the generator.

Using this tools to update the results would save a lot of time every week


i tried to import match results with the import tool , actually 80% of the imported resulted are not correct and i don't know why however the pasted value are correct.

I deleted the imported match results and tried to paste one by one , it gives the same incorrect result.

so i added the matches without any results and i started to add the result for each match manually.

Is there any thing here that i am missing ?
