# Assign subdivisions to sessions

Map each subdivision to a session so gymnasts know when they compete.

## Prerequisites

* [Create subdivisions](/competitions/create-subdivisions.md) or [create age groups](/competitions/create-age-groups.md) (which auto-create competitions with one subdivision each)
* [Create a session](/scheduling/create-a-session.md)

## Steps

1. From the meet admin, go to **Scheduling** then **Sessions**.
2. Select the session you want to assign subdivisions to.
3. In the session's **Competition Assignments** section, choose which subdivisions compete in this session.
4. Select the level, then the competition (age group), then the subdivision.
5. Repeat for each subdivision you want in this session.
6. Save the session.

## How It Works

Each session can include subdivisions from multiple levels and competitions. A Saturday AM session might include:

* Level 5, Ages 8-9, Subdivision A
* Level 5, Ages 10-11, Subdivision A
* Level 6, All Ages, Subdivision A

This lets you mix levels and age groups within a single session time block.

## Rules to Keep in Mind

* Each subdivision should be assigned to exactly one session. A subdivision that is not assigned will not appear in any session schedule.
* A session can include multiple subdivisions from different competitions.
* All gymnasts within a subdivision compete in the same session.

## Example

Level 5 with two age groups, each split into two subdivisions:

| Competition         | Subdivision | Session     |
| ------------------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Level 5, Ages 8-9   | Group A     | Saturday AM |
| Level 5, Ages 8-9   | Group B     | Saturday PM |
| Level 5, Ages 10-11 | Group A     | Sunday AM   |
| Level 5, Ages 10-11 | Group B     | Sunday PM   |

All gymnasts in "Level 5, Ages 8-9" (both Group A and Group B) are ranked together in one set of results for that competition.

## What's Next

Once subdivisions are assigned to sessions:

* [Assign gymnasts to rotations](/scheduling/assign-gymnasts-to-rotations.md) within each session
* [Configure rotations](/scheduling/configure-rotations.md) for apparatus order
* [Set the session timeline](/scheduling/set-session-timeline.md) for warmup, competition, and awards

Plan session assignments before opening registration if possible. It helps coaches understand the schedule. If you add gymnasts to a subdivision after assignment, they automatically appear in the assigned session. You can reassign subdivisions to different sessions at any time before competition.
