Open Tournaments in the sidebar, choose your team and tap Link AES team, then paste the link to any AES event your team is entered in and pick the team. Rotato then follows that team's events all season, with match times, courts, opponents and work duties, and alerts you when a schedule posts or changes.
How do I link a team to AES?
- Open Tournaments. In the sidebar, tap Tournaments and pick the team.
- Tap Link AES team. You'll be asked for a link to any event the team is entered in.
- Paste an AES event link. Copy the link from the AES event page (a results page works too) and tap Paste.
- Find your team. Tap Find teams and pick your team from the list.
- Turn on alerts. Leave "Notify me when a schedule posts or changes" on to get notifications.
You only do this once a season. AES keeps the same team ID across events, so Rotato finds the team's other past and future events on its own.
What does the schedule show?
The Tournaments page lists Next up (the next match to play or work, across events), Upcoming events and Earlier this season. Open an event to see each day's matches and work duties with the time (in the venue's local time), court, pool or bracket, opponent, and scores with won or lost. Open in AES takes you to the team's page on AES.
When will I get a notification?
Rotato notifies you when a schedule posts, when new matches are added (for example the next day's bracket), and when a match changes time, court or opponent. Scores don't send notifications. Rotato's server checks AES every 5 minutes around event days, so alerts arrive even when the app is closed.
Can I add matches to my calendar? New in 1.1
Yes. In Rotato 1.1 you can add a team's matches and events to your calendar from the tournament screens, so the day's times and courts sit next to everything else on your phone.
What is the morning check? New in 1.1
Every morning Rotato checks your team's next tournament on AES and notifies you when the schedule posts or a match moves. You don't have to keep refreshing AES yourself in the days before an event.
What does Check now do? New in 1.1
Check now asks AES for the latest schedule right away. If the event's schedule isn't posted yet, Rotato tells you so and keeps checking, then notifies you when it appears. "Not posted yet" means AES hasn't published pools or matches for that event, not that something is broken.
How many teams can I follow? New in 1.1
As many teams as your plan has: Free and Assistant Coach track 1 team, Head Coach 3, and Program unlimited. Every tracked team gets tournament alerts and the morning check, on every plan, and teams you linked in Rotato 1.0 keep tracking.
| Plan | Tracked AES teams |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Assistant Coach | 1 |
| Head Coach | 3 |
| Program | Unlimited |
Can I track a team beyond my plan's limit?
Yes. When you link a team past your limit, Rotato offers an extra tracked team for $4.99, a one-time purchase that covers that one team for one club season, through July 31. It's handy for a second club team or your own kid's team without changing plans. See Plans and purchases.
How do I change or unlink the AES team?
On the team's Tournaments page, open the More menu and choose Change AES team… to link a different entry, or Unlink to stop following it. Your lineups and roster stay as they are.
Can players and parents see the schedule?
Yes. When you share the team, its schedule shows on the Schedule tab of the iPhone viewer, and players can turn on the same alerts.
AES has no official public API. Rotato reads the same public schedule data AES's own sites use, so if AES changes something, schedules can briefly stop updating; tell us with our contact form. Rotato is not affiliated with AES (Advanced Event Systems) or SportsEngine.
