Help for tournament managers

A tournament on this site is run from the admin by its managers: whoever created it, and anybody they have made a manager since. These guides say how, from signing in to a tournament whose results are available to the public.

There are two kinds of tournament, and a guide for each. Each guide stands on its own, so you can read the one for the tournament you are running and nothing else.

• Running a standard tournament: a tournament played between players entered one by one, in blocks, knockouts and Swisses. A club weekend, an open, a championship.
• Running a tournament played by teams: a tournament played between teams, as tests between two sides made of matches between their players. A test series, an interstate shield, a world team championship.

Which kind a tournament is, is decided by its Format when it is created: Standard for the first, and Teams, Eire Cup, Interstate Shield or GC World Team Championship for the second.
