Running your event on Tourny

This guide shows you how to run your event on Tourny on game day, from the first score to the final results. If you haven't set up your tournament yet, start with Setting up your tournament on Tourny. You'll learn how to:

• Publish and share your event
• Find your way around the pages you'll use most
• Submit and manage game results
• Check standings as results come in
• Move teams between rounds (for multi-round formats)

Publish and share your event

Publish your tournament before the event starts. Participants can't see schedules, standings, or results until you do, and scores can't be submitted until it's published.

To publish:

1. Go to the Dashboard page
2. Click Pay for event and complete the payment
3. Publish your event

Then share it with participants in one of two ways:

• Copy the home page URL, or
• Go to the Manage page and use Share to get a link or QR code

Participants can use that same link all event long to check schedules, scores, and standings.

The pages you'll use to run your event

During the event, you'll spend most of your time on three pages: Dashboard, Schedule, and Standings.

The Dashboard shows how the event is going. It shows which rounds are in progress and, for multi-round formats, tells you when it's time to move teams to the next round. If you're not sure what to do next, check here.

The Schedule page lists every upcoming and completed game. Select a game to submit or edit its result. This is the page you'll use most.

The Standings page shows the latest results, so you can see how each round is shaping up.

All three pages update as results come in.

Submit game results

Entering results is the main thing you'll do during the event.

Go to the Schedule page and select a game. The game overview opens with two buttons: Submit result and Game options.

To enter a score:

1. Click Submit result
2. Enter the scores, plus any extra stats you've set up
3. Click submit

After that, the button changes to Edit result in case you need to fix anything. See Submit results for a short walkthrough.

Game options

Game options has a few more controls:

• Forfeit game: gives the forfeiting team a loss and the other team a win
• Cancel game: marks the game as cancelled, with no points for either team
• Add note: attaches a note to the game, like officiating details or why it was cancelled
• Clear result: removes a submitted result
• Change home team: swaps the home and away teams
• Change teams: changes which teams are in the game (rarely needed, but handy for unusual situations)

Check standings as results come in

The Standings page updates every time a result is submitted, so it always shows the latest rankings.

If you have more than one category, use the category dropdown to switch between them. For multi-round formats, use the round selector in the top right to see each stage.

Check the standings at the end of each round, and always before moving teams to the next one, to make sure everything looks right.

Move teams between rounds

In a multi-round format, you move teams to the next round once the current one is finished.

First, make sure every game in the round has a result. Then go to the Standings page, where you'll see the option to start the next round.

In a round robin to bracket format, for example, you'll see Ready to start the playoffs? with a Confirm bracket button (or Confirm brackets if you have more than one). Click it to review which teams advance. Once you confirm, Tourny fills the next round with those teams.

The Dashboard also shows when a round is complete and the next one is ready to start. See Transition between rounds for resolving ties.
