Divisions

This page is used to define the single division used in this tournament.

U18B will be used to reference the Divisions, but "JV Boys" is the public name of the division.

Teams

Matches

The previous steps have set up the context for the core of the Build process, which starts here. The "Matches" page generates all group games based on the number of teams in each group. It will be used to define two Single Elimination games in this demo.

Single Elimination/Consolation Games

Two Semifinal games have been defined by clicking in the intergroup area with the 'Intergroup = Single Elim." set. This page is used to add labels to those games and to add a Final, in which the winners of the Semifinals meet.

Game Slots

This page is used to define when specific fields are avaiable for scheduling of matches.

Using the Tournament Page

This demo is focused on the "Build" capability, but you can enter game results to verify that the tournament is functional. Game reporting is usually restricted.

Making Revisions

The purpose of the TD Build is to make it easy to generate a TD. The format of a TD is simple enough that it can be edited directly, though it is possible to return to TD Build pages, tweak values, and generate a revised TD. For example, it's possible to go to the Divisions page, click on "Set Division Colors", change the colors, then click on "Export". The changed colors will be included in the TD.
