How do I update player information?

Updating info such as the player name, phone number or email can be done by the tournament admin or the actual player

If you have any players register where they do not know all player names at the time of registration - it will create a 'Guest Player' for them. But how can we add the correct names?

Organizer:

As an organizer - you can easily find and edit player names under Player Management -> Player Listing. To quickly locate players, use the search function at the top of the page (see details below). You will see the 3 dots beside each player - with the option to 'Edit'. With this option, the email and phone number fields are required.

Finding Guest Players Efficiently:

To quickly locate guest players:

  1. Navigate to Player Management -> Player Listing

  2. Use the Search option at the top and enter 'Guest'

  3. Review the Registered By column to identify which primary user or group each guest is associated with This approach saves time by filtering only guest player entries rather than browsing through all players.

Once you've identified the guest players using the search function, you can proceed to update their information using the Edit option mentioned above. This streamlined approach is particularly helpful for tournaments with large player counts.

Players:

Your players can also change the names of anyone included in their registration. This can be accessed via your tournament website, in the menu under 'Manage Order'. All they need is the receipt number and email address they used in the transaction to register. This way, you don't have to go back and forth with every team - they can do this themselves!

Even if you have your teams created in Group Pairings, any changes to player names will automatically update in your draw/schedule.

Additional Information (Q&A)

  • How can I manually add players to my event?
    To manually add players to you event - you can go to Player Management > Player Listing and click the 'Register New Player' button. Otherwise you can add a team together by creating a $0 registration package. These options are only available with the PRO upgrade.
    For the Free version of Event Caddy, the closest option is to create a $1 registration package.
