Setting Up a New Tournament

In this video, Jeff Ireland from 20 Guru walks you through the process of setting up a new tournament. The tutorial is designed to provide step-by-step instructions on how to navigate the Tourney Admin section and configure the basic tournament settings. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience in organizing tournaments, this guide will help you streamline your setup process and ensure a smooth registration experience for participants.

2.1 Tourney Admin Section

To get started, Jeff instructs users to navigate to the Tourney Admin section within the platform. This section displays a list of previously set up tournaments and provides options for adding a new tournament.

2.2 Adding a New Tournament

Clicking on the "Add New Tournament" button takes users to a screen where they can create a new tournament. Before proceeding, it is important to note that users need to purchase a tournament package. Jeff mentions that he has already purchased the standard package in this case.

2.3 Tournament Packages

For users who haven't purchased a package yet, they would need to visit the pricing page and select the package that suits their requirements. Once the purchase is made, they can proceed with creating the tournament.

2.4 Basic Tournament Information

The first part of the tournament setup involves providing basic information such as the tournament name, venue, address, and description. Jeff advises users to include all relevant details that would typically appear in a tournament flyer.

2.5 Turbo Settings

Under Turbo Settings, users can select the appropriate style for their tournament. In this case, Jeff mentions that folk style is the only available option. Users also need to enter the start and end dates of the tournament.

2.6 Early and Last Date of Registration

Jeff explains that users have the option to set an early registration deadline with a separate fee. This encourages participants to register early by offering a discounted fee. Users also need to specify the last date of registration along with the registration fee.

2.7 Coach Registration

One important feature to note is coach registration, which is only available online. Jeff highlights that while participant registration can be done manually through the software, coach registration is exclusive to the online platform.

2.8 Online Payments

Jeff emphasizes the significance of the online payments section. Users can choose to require, make optional, or disable online payments for participants. If required, participants must pay at the time of registration. If optional, participants can choose to pay by credit card or through PayPal. If disabled, users are responsible for manually collecting the payments.

2.9 Scoring Options

Users can select how matches are scored, whether digitally or using paper bout sheets. Jeff strongly recommends using digital bout sheets as they offer various advantages. However, users can also print out paper bout sheets as a backup or for reference.

2.10 Double Entries

Jeff introduces the concept of double entries, a premium feature that allows participants to enter two divisions. Participants can select a second division and the corresponding weight class during registration. This feature enhances flexibility and allows participants to compete in multiple categories.
