Tournament Templates previous - next

If you have a regular tournament that uses the same format each time, you'll want to save it as a Template. Once a tournament is defined with events and brackets, you will see a Save as Template form in the Tournaments Editor page:

This saves a snapshot of the current tournament structure (everything but the player names and match results) making it easy to add future tournaments with the same layout. Once a template has been saved, you'll see the Add From Template form on the Tournament List page:

The next time you want to add a similar tournament, just fill in the date and click the Use Selected Template button. A new tournament will be created that has the events, brackets, default match lengths, level, etc., already set. All you need to do is add the players, record the match results, and save the standings.

After you save a template, it will appear at the bottom of the tournament list marked as [template]. A template can be edited just like any other tournament (change the names, add or delete events and brackets, etc.), but it has no players or match results.
