This manual covers tournament director login, saving and loading events, active vs loaded tournaments, operations, public bracket behavior, and player alerts.
Each tournament director signs in with a login name and password.
Your admin area only shows your own tournaments. Another director can be signed in at the same time and run their own event separately.
In single-admin mode, the default login name is admin if the server is still using the older single-password setup.
Loaded tournament is the event you are editing on the Admin tab.
Active tournament is the event used by Operations, the admin bracket quick actions, public bracket, and player alerts for your login.
Marking one of your tournaments Active automatically pauses your other active tournament, if you had one.
Use the Admin tab to set the event name, format, boards, entrants, and tournament status.
Use Save Tournament to keep the event in your tournament library.
Use Start Event when you are ready to launch the tournament live. Start Event now saves the tournament automatically, marks it Active for your director login, and lists it on the public side.
Use Listed events when you want them to appear on the public home page.
Completed and cancelled tournaments remain in your library until you delete them.
Singles and Round Robin use one player per entrant.
Doubles supports entering a team as two names.
Blind Draw A/B uses two separate player lists and draws across those lists.
The Operations tab follows your active tournament.
When auto-call is on, the next match is automatically called live after results are entered.
When auto-call is off, the system still assigns boards to queued matches, but leaves them queued until you call them.
On the admin bracket page, click a bracket tile to open the quick-actions popup for that match.
The popup lets you reassign the board, call or re-call the match, and save the result without returning to Operations.
The public side shows listed tournaments, the public bracket, public board status, standings, and player-facing information.
Board status tiles use the same accent color logic as the matching live or next-up bracket tiles.
Player alerts follow the active tournament for the signed-in director.
Push alerts can be enabled on supported mobile home-screen installs and browsers.
Different directors can operate separate tournaments at the same time.
Tournaments are scoped by login, so one director’s tournament library and active event do not replace another director’s.
Public tournament pages can still run simultaneously, as long as each saved tournament has a unique slug.
If a requested slug is already in use, the system now saves the event with a numbered slug such as friday-night-2 instead of overwriting another tournament.
