Organizer Guide

The organizer dashboard contains everything needed to configure and run a tournament. Open the organizer dashboard, select a tournament, and use the sidebar to move between its sections.

Dashboard sections

Section	Use it to
Overview	See the next round and find missing pairings, rosters, role assignments, call orders, courtrooms, scorers, presiders, and paper-ballot scores.
Rounds	Create rounds, build pairings, assign courtrooms and scorers, publish pairings, lock scoring, and release results.
Standings	Calculate standings for selected rounds, review award nominations, and export results.
Teams	Invite teams, update team codes and coach emails, import teams, and open a team’s coach view.
Scorers	Add online scorers, import scorer records, and record conflicts.
Courtrooms	Add the rooms or online meeting locations available for pairings.
Organizers	Add co-organizers and manage pending organizer invitations.
Structure	Edit tournament details, scorecards, witnesses, award categories, tiebreakers, and custom roster fields.

The Overview cards only appear when they are relevant. Use them as a pre-round checklist, but confirm each round directly before opening scoring.

Recommended setup order

1. Create the tournament.
2. Review the tournament settings and configure its scorecard, witnesses, awards, and roster fields.
3. Add teams and any additional organizers.
4. Add scorers and courtrooms.
5. Create rounds and pairings, then publish the pairings so coaches can prepare.
6. Assign scorers and a presider to every pairing.
7. Lock the round, send online scoring links, and monitor ballot submissions.
8. Review standings and award nominations before publishing results.

Caution

Publishing pairings, locking a round, and publishing results are one-way actions. Check the teams, courtroom, scorer assignments, and publication status before using them.

Tournament-day checklist

Before locking a round, confirm that:

• Every pairing has two different teams.
• No team appears in more than one pairing in the round.
• Every pairing has a courtroom and it is not double-booked.
• Each pairing has the expected number of scorers.
• Every pairing has a presider.
• No scorer is assigned to a team recorded as one of their conflicts.
• Coaches have completed their role assignments and witness call order, or their saved defaults are ready to be copied.

After scoring opens, watch each pairing’s ballot count. Enter any paper ballots, review individual or combined scoresheets, and publish results only after every expected ballot has been submitted.
