Tournaments
For the organiser.
- Create the tournament and bring it back every year through its editions. Each edition is divided into categories — Under 15, Women’s, Open — that never get in each other’s way: entries, stages and fixtures belong to each one.
- Prepare the edition as a draft, visible only to you, and publish it when it is ready.
- Enter teams in four ways: by name alone, by invitation to whoever manages the team, by picking up a team that played a previous edition, or — if you manage the team too — by entering it directly.
- Close and reopen entries to tell everyone that the list of participants is final.
- Build the stages in sequence: qualifying group, then quarter-finals, semi-final, final. Group stages with their match days, or knockout stages. A round-robin league is simply a single-group stage.
- Assign teams to groups, set date, kick-off time, match day and venue, enter the results — or mark the match as postponed, cancelled or awarded.
- Add match information — “Local derby”, “Venue changed”, “Match day 3 rearranged” — and it appears on the public site under the fixture.
- Keep the standings for every group, match day by match day.
- Keep the organising committee list, and regenerate it from the previous edition instead of rewriting it every year.
- Tell the story of the tournament with a description and with news items.
