You've now created a bracket. What's next? The first thing to go over is seeding players.

In the bracket section of the admin tab on your event, if you go to the bottom, you'll find "Manager Participant." It should look a little something like this.

If you wish to manually seed, some, or all of these players, you'll hit the pencil icons underneath "Action" and then type in their seed number and hit the save button next to each player you seed.

Now you should be ready to dive into the bracket itself by clicking "Bracket" at the top navigation bar.

Time to get things started! You'll now be working under the "Admin Actions" menu.

These should all be fairly self-explanatory.

Seed - This seeds the bracket either with your entered seeding values or randomly.

Reset - This resets all results sent into the bracket.

Publish - This publishes the bracket allowing everyone to see it. You must publish to continue forward.

Start Tournaments - This starts the tournament, any associated timers start running; this should only be done when the tournament actually begins.

Delete - This deletes the bracket. Brackets can be created again by going to the event admin page, and then to the bracket tab to create a new bracket.

Cancel - This cancels the bracket, in essence ending it, but does not delete it.

Complete - This finalizes the bracket to be used upon completion of the tournament.

Payout - After completing your bracket, this will payout players as configured under the event admin.

Once the bracket is live, players or bracket runners can report scores by clicking on the match in the bracket. Tournament admins will be able to manage matchups by clicking into the same screen in the bracket.
