Bracket Players previous - next

OK, you've started a club player list and created a new tournament with at least one event and bracket. Now let's add some players to the bracket. Below the empty bracket list is a checkbox list of all active club players:

The "Using" menu selects which players to include in the checklist. When your player list is small, choose Active Club Players or All Club Players. When your player list gets very large, you'll appreciate being able to select bracket players by skill level, location, etc.

It's best to have the bracket list follow the exact order of your tournament drawsheet (especially in an elimination bracket). Clicking the player checkboxes in the same order as they appear on the drawsheet will give you the proper bracket player list. When the names are checked, click the Add Checked Names button. Now you have a bracket list with player names filled in and ready to enter the match results:

At this point, names can be deleted from the list, or additional players added to the end of the list. If there's an extra player in the middle of the list, just delete and the rest of the list will move up. If a player is missing from the middle of the list, you can delete up to that spot, and then add the remaining players in the proper order. Or just add the missing name to the end of the list (which might make entering match results a little less convenient).

Note: Once match results are recorded for a player you cannot delete that player from the bracket list.

Adding a player not in your club list...

If there's a player on the drawsheet who's not in your club list, you can add him from the bracket list page with the add one player form at the bottom of the page:

Type the player name and click Submit. The procedure is the same as adding players in the Player List Manager. The new player will be added to both your club player list and end of the current bracket list.
