Venue is the location for the event
All Team Names listed in the Team column must be preconfigured on the ClubZap system as detailed here. An exact match must exist or the import will fail and the team name is Case Sensitive (e.g: Mothers & Daughters is not the same as Mothers and Daughters or u13 is not the same as U13).
Choices for Event Type are: League | Championship | Cup | Friendly
Choices for Ground are: Home | Away | Neutral
All fields mandatory except Referee field
If an import fails due to an error with any fixture in the file then all the Fixtures in that .csv will be rejected. The invalid record will be identified based on the error returned which details the Row number(s) which caused the issue.

Troubleshooting
1) System is complaining about an invalid date
Reason: The file being used has the date as D/MM/YYYY and times before 10:00 are not zero padded (i.e. 9:45 should be 09:45).
2. The file is being rejected for bad formatting
When the file is converted to a csv there are a number of commas at the end of the file which need to be removed.
