Admin Dashboard
Central organizer hub for status, registration mode, setup checklist, quick actions, and what to do at each lifecycle stage.
Overview
These answers match the in-app Help button on the related admin page. Use them while you work, or share this article with co-organizers.
2.What should I do when registration is open?
Confirm event details, monitor signups, finish Stripe Connect if you charge fees, and configure automatic notification emails. Free-tier events may rely on manual import until upgraded.
3.What changes when I close registration?
No new signups; existing registrations remain. Confirm rosters, finalize seedings, generate pools/brackets, and assign courts or times.
4.What does IN_PROGRESS enable?
Brackets become player-visible, match scoring is unlocked, check-in matters for attendance, and Tournament Day / TV display tools become useful.
5.How do I raise the player cap if I bought Event ≤64?
On Event Admin, use Upgrade event size near the top (or Quick Actions → Upgrade event size). Choose a larger band and pay only the difference vs what you already paid for this event. Pricing still sells a new Event; upgrades for an existing event start here.
6.What is the Setup Process on the dashboard?
A linear guide: Edit Event → Manage Divisions → Import Players → Create Brackets → Schedule Matches → Go Live. Import is hidden when online registration is enabled; Schedule is hidden for voting contests.
7.Can I open registration without Stripe?
$0 fee events can open without Stripe. Paid online registration requires Stripe Connect — the status changer blocks REGISTRATION_OPEN until Stripe is ready.
8.How do I run this event again?
On a completed event, open Winners → Run this event again, or Admin → Duplicate. That copies settings and divisions (not scores). After you copy it, invite last year’s players and consider Club if you host many events at one location.
9.What should a new organizer do first?
Skip profile photos and billing. Create the event, add players, generate brackets. The dashboard checklist pre-checks “Account created” and tracks those three actions. Start from a sport template so the first screen is not blank.
10.What is Take a Tour vs Help?
Take a Tour walks new admins through dashboard sections once. Help (this FAQ) answers “how do I…?” questions while you work. They complement each other.
