1.How is voting admin different from regular admin?
Voting contests use the Voting admin panel, Voting Report, submission/entry inboxes, and Update Vote Count instead of sport scoring. Setup skips Schedule Matches.

Voting Contest Admin
Operate poll and bracket voting contests — windows, finalization, submissions, and championship flow.
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.Where should I start learning voting setup?
Start with the Voting Contest Format Guide (lifecycle, categories, hybrid flows). Use Voting Contest — Extended Setup for embeds, widgets, invite-only, and email drafts.
3.What does the Voting admin panel control?
Per division: vote totals, finalized vs active matchups, voting windows (open/close in event timezone), apply window, auto-finalize expired, and close-all voting. Tied matchups are flagged for tiebreakers.
4.How are winners determined?
Votes are tallied per matchup. Finalize sets the winner and advances bracket rounds. Resolve ties before finalize, or use admin override actions.
5.What about submissions and entries?
Use Entries and Submissions under admin for the contest inbox and uploads. Categories live under Settings → Categories.
