What you will do

This guide gets you from a blank organiser account to a tournament with the right name, dates, and daily timings in place.

The goal is to create a stable starting point so later setup does not need rework.

Before you start

  • Have the tournament name, venue, and dates ready.
  • Know whether you are running one event day or multiple matchdays.
  • Do not share the public link until the basics are checked.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Open Create Tournament from the admin home page.
  2. 2
    Enter the tournament name, sport, and dates.

    Keep the public-facing details clean now so you do not need to re-share later.

  3. 3
    Set the daily start and finish times.

    These timings affect scheduling later, so use realistic matchday hours.

  4. 4
    Save the event and move into setup or settings.

    Once the record exists, continue with format, teams, and public details.

Check you are ready

  • The tournament name and dates are correct.
  • The daily timings reflect the real day you plan to run.
  • You can open the tournament workspace without setup confusion.

Wrong dates or daily timings at the start usually create avoidable scheduling work later.
