Where to Start

The site distinguishes between organizers and players.

• Organizer: must have an account to create and manage tournaments.
• Player: can take part even without registering right away. Registration is mainly useful to retrieve history, statistics and personal access.

1. If you organize tournaments, register or log in from the top menu.
2. Once inside, create the tournament and complete the guided setup.
3. When the tournament is ready, add the teams and move on to the next stage.

Tournament Creation

After logging in you can create a new tournament by entering the main information:

1. tournament name;
2. location and dates;
3. number of groups and expected teams;
4. settings useful for the final stage and playoff qualification.

After saving you are taken to the tournament control page, where you find the guided step-by-step flow:

• Setup
• Teams
• Groups
• Results

Registrations and Team Management

Teams can be added in two ways:

• manual entry by the organizer;
• public registration through a dedicated link, if enabled for that tournament.

While adding a team:

• you can search for players already present in the site history;
• the search is based on name, surname or nickname;
• the email can be added, but it is not required to take part;
• the nickname remains important to correctly identify the player over time.

While the tournament is being prepared you can edit, correct or delete teams before generating the tournament structure.

Groups

When you have completed the registrations, you can assign the teams to the groups and generate the matches.

1. Check that each group has the desired number of teams.
2. Generate the group matches.
3. The system creates the schedule and the initial standings.
4. Every updated result automatically changes the standings.

In the public view of the tournament the groups are shown with standings, matchdays and results, readable on both smartphones and computers.

Playoffs and Final Stage

When the tournament moves to the final stage, the view changes automatically:

• if the tournament is in the groups stage, the focus stays on the groups;
• if the tournament is in the playoffs, the focus moves to the final bracket;
• if the tournament is completed, the final standings, podium and champion are highlighted.

This lets you share with players and spectators a public page that always shows the most useful stage at that moment.

Entering Results

To record the results:

1. enter the organizer area;
2. open the tournament from your tournament list;
3. go to the matches or results section;
4. enter the sets played for each match;
5. save to update the standings and the public view.

Sets not yet finished remain neutral, while completed sets correctly highlight the winner. In the public view you also find a summary like 2-1 in sets.

Public Tournament Page

Every tournament has a public page designed to be easily shared with players, clubs and spectators.

• shows the main tournament information;
• highlights groups or playoffs based on the real status;
• updates results and standings automatically;
• and adapts to mobile and desktop.

Public Registration

If you want to collect registrations without having players enter the organizer area, you can use the public link dedicated to the tournament.

• the registration link is separate from the tournament public page;
• it can be shared with the participants;
• the requests are then handled by the organizer;
• login is not required to take part.

Statistics and Profiles

The site also keeps a history of players and teams:

• player profiles with public statistics;
• history of results and participations;
• recognition of players over time through nickname, name and available data.

Those who register later can link their account to the profile already present in the history.

Useful Tips

• always complete the setup phase well before generating groups and matches;
• check player names and nicknames to keep an orderly history;
• use the tournament public page to share results and updates;
• if the tournament stays in preparation too long without activity, it may be removed from the system to keep the platform up to date.
