Allow participants to submit scores

In a tournament or league, you don't have to enter every score yourself. You can let teams submit their own scores, with an optional approval step so results stay accurate.

This guide covers:

• Choosing who can submit results
• Adding team managers and players to teams
• How submitting and approving results works

Choose who can submit results

First, decide who can submit results and whether those results need approval.

1. Go to the Manage page
2. Open the Settings tab
3. Open the Results section

Under Who can submit results?, pick one:

• Tournament admins only (the default; League admins only for leagues)
• Team managers
• Players (players and team managers)

Approval settings

Next, under Do results require approval?, choose how results get confirmed:

• No approval (the default): results count as soon as they're submitted.
• Admin approval: you or another admin must approve each result before it counts.
• Opponent approval: the other team's manager must confirm the result. Admins can approve results in this mode too.

Pick whichever gives you the amount of control you want.

Add team managers and players to teams

These settings only matter once teams have managers or players on them, so the next step is setting up rosters.

1. Go to the Manage page
2. Open the Settings tab
3. Open the Rosters : Manage section

From there:

• If you have categories, pick one from the dropdown
• For each team, invite team managers and players by email. Switch between the Manager and Player tabs to choose which kind of invite to send.
• People show up on the roster once they accept

To invite a whole group of players at once, generate a player invite link and share it.

Submitting and confirming results

Once your event is published and team members have joined their teams, they can start submitting results. Depending on your settings, that's managers, players, or both.

How team members submit a result

1. Find their team's game in the schedule
2. Select it to open the game info panel
3. Click Submit result
4. Enter the score and submit

They'll also see Game options, where they can forfeit or cancel a game.

What happens next

• No approval required: the result shows up in the schedule right away.
• Approval required: the result stays pending until someone approves it.

How results are approved

If you've turned on approval, the approver (an admin or the other team's manager) needs to:

1. Find the game in the schedule
2. Open it
3. Click Confirm Result
4. Submit the final result

Once it's confirmed, the result is official and shows up in the schedule.

You're ready to accept scores from teams

That's it. As games finish, team members submit the results, your approval step runs if you turned it on, and the schedule and standings update without you entering every score.
