+Groups
+======
+
+As described earilier, groups are a module of the system used for
+soccer-related leagues. They make it easy to add arrange teams into groups
+and schedule matches between teams.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+As you have already seen in the previous chapter the menu item that will
+take you to the group management module of the system is located in
+top-central part of any tournamenter page. When you click in on it for the
+first time you will most likely see a screen that is very similar to this
+one:
+
+.. figure:: img/group-empty.png
+    :alt: The group listing without any groups in it.
+
+That means that there are no groups at the moment. When you click on the
+big **Create New Button** a new group will be added with default values
+pre-filled and your screen will look like this:
+
+.. figure:: img/group-new.png
+    :alt: The group listing with one new empty group.
+
+There are a few things you can do with a newly created group right away.
+First of all the name of the group is by default '[New Group]' (you can see
+it on the left side). This just a placeholder and is meant to be changed.
+You can easily do so by clicking on the name and changing the text in the
+input box. Once you are satisfied with the name of this group you can
+confirm and save it by clicking on the white tick right next to the input
+box (or pressing Enter).
+
+If you clicked on the group name by mistake no worries! By either clicking
+on the 'x' icon next to the white tick or anywhere else on the page
+the group name will be reset to its previous value.
+
+.. figure:: img/group-name.png
+    :alt: The input box with other buttons which you will see after
+        clicking on the group name.
+
+There are two more buttons on the right. The first one has 'Refresh'
+written on it and it is used for refreshing the current table with new data
+from the database. Its purpose will be described in more detail in the
+following sections. At this time we shall note that it doesn't hurt to just
+click on it after changing/inserting anything within the group.
+
+The functionality of the 'Delete Group' button is pretty straightforward:
+it deletes the group. When you click on it you will see the following
+dialog in which you assure the system that deleting the group is really
+what you want.
+
+.. figure:: img/group-delete-confirm.png
+    :align: center
+    :alt: The confirmation dialog that shows up after you click on the
+        'Delete Group' button.
+
+As you have certainly noticed there is a dark blue button that says 'Show'
+just below the group name. When you click on it you will see something very
+similar to the picture below:
+
+.. figure:: img/group-opened.png
+    :align: center
+    :alt: The opened management screen of an empty group.
+
+We call this the group management screen. In here you can add teams to a
+group, schedule matches, assign them to fields and more. We will discuss
+that in the next section.
+
+Managing groups
+---------------
+
+If we look at soccer competitions in general there are basically two things
+that are interesting: who and when is playing against whom and how is the
+result of that much going to reflect in some kind of general scoring.
+
+Sheduling matches
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In `tournamenter` you start by sheduling matches. Doing that is very easy.
+You can add one by clicking on 'Create New Match'. What you should see is
+something like this:
+
+.. figure:: img/group-new-match.png
+    :align: center
+    :alt: A new empty match in the listing.
+
+
+As you can see, there is *Empty* sign in italics where you would expect a
+team name. This is intentional as you should change this placeholder to
+some team. You can do so easily by clicking at *Empty* and choosing a team
+from a dropdown that shows up.
+
+.. figure:: img/group-change-empty.png
+    :align: center
+    :alt: A dropdown that shows up after clicking on *Empty*.
+
+.. figure:: img/group-change-dropdown.png
+    :align: center
+    :alt: An open dropdown that shows up when you click on *Empty*.
+
+After choosing a team you will see that its name will appear in the group
+table on the right. The `tournamenter`'s way of arranging teams into groups
+is by scheduling matches between these teams. For instance:
+
+.. figure:: img/group-fully-filled.png
+    :align: center
+    :alt: A group with some scheduled matches.
+
+
+Setting attributes of matches
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Although choosing the teams that should play a match against each other is
+indeed crucial, it is only one part of the process of scheduling a match.
+As you might have noted in the matches listing there are a few more
+buttons: DAY, HOUR and FIELD.
+
+After clicking on any of these buttons a popup will show up in which you
+can edit the value that is currently set. Note that you confirm the value
+you have changed by pressing Enter. Similarly to the other popups, you can
+just let it reset to its current value by clicking somewhere else on the
+page.
+
+As you might expect the trash icon will try to remove the match altogether
+after asking for your confirmation.
+
+Setting the state of a match
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The last button we haven't mentioned so far is the blue 'clock' button on
+the left. This button is used to change the state of the match. Match can
+have three states:
+
+- **Scheduled**: the match has been created and it is ready to be played.
+- **Playing**: the match is being played at the moment
+- **Ended**: the match has already been played and the results should be
+  reflected in the scoring table.
+
+
+You can easily change the state of a match by clicking on the blue 'clock'
+icon and choosing from a popup that opens up. Once you change the state the
+'clock' icon will change to reflect the current state.
+
+Scoring
+~~~~~~~
+
+Changing the score of a match is as easy as clicking on the current score
+(a number in bold text to the team name) and changing the value to the
+desired one.
+
+It should be noted that the data will only get reflected in the table (and
+thus the table will get updated) when the match is in the **Ended** state.
+
+Also, it is necessary to note at this point that it is always a good idea
+to click on the 'Refresh' button before changing any match data.
