Setting up a tournament

  1. 1

    General information

    Competition name, event date, venue or club. The name is the title of the dashboard; the date places the tournament in the calendar as soon as it is saved.

  2. 2

    Formula and format

    The draw formula sets how games follow one another: melees, championship in pools then A/B or A/B/C brackets, Swiss system, single or double elimination, round robin, precision shooting. The format gives the team size; precision requires singles. Some formulas need the PREMIUM plan.

  3. 3

    Number of rounds

    For melees and winner/loser, the selector sets the number of games guaranteed to everyone; the other formulas derive it from their bracket. The Swiss system chooses its final score here, on time or in points, and the rotating melee can complete oversized teams.

  4. 4

    Pricing

    Entry fee and meal price, in euros. They set what each entrant owes in the Entries tab: a participant with nothing to pay is settled at once.

  5. 5

    Courts

    Automatic assignment draws a court for each match as soon as it is ready, within the number of available courts. Without it, the court is chosen by hand from the score dialog.

  6. 6

    Club ranking

    The switch counts this tournament in the cumulative club ranking. Only participants with a player record are credited; a guest typed as free text is left out.

  7. 7

    Extras and saving

    Personal notes, poster, registration and website addresses, contact name and phone. An imported tournament keeps its official description, read-only. “Validate and create” saves and opens the file; when creating, the import icon in the bar creates the tournament from two CSV files.
