This feature is available for the following products:
The Tournament Library for an event/league is used to store single round tournament formats for future rounds, thus saving you from recreating them from scratch in future rounds. This feature benefits leagues more than events because they usually include a large number of rounds that may re-use the same tournament format.
In this article, we will discuss how to save a tournament to the library, how to access the library, and how to update tournaments saved to the library and included in other rounds.
Save a Tournament to the Tournament Library:
When creating a single round tournament (Rounds > Tournaments > New Tournament), there is a section "Tournament Library" with the option to "Save in My Tournament Library" (as shown below).
When selected, the following options are available:
Do not include in any rounds: Saves the tournament to the tournament library only.
Auto-include in all future rounds: Saves the tournament to the tournament library and auto includes it in all further rounds. An example of this would be a league that plays a gross skin tournament every week. It would be a good idea to auto-include this tournament for all future rounds.
Auto-include in selected rounds: Saves the tournament to the tournament library and lets your select which rounds include the tournament (as shown below).
Accessing the Tournament Library:
You can access your Tournament Library for an event/league by going to Rounds > Tournaments > Tournament Library (as shown below).
Click on "Yes" or "No" under "Play this Tournament?" to include/exclude these tournaments within the current round or all future rounds.
Editing Tournament Saved to the Tournament Library and Included in Other Rounds:
Note: This only works for tournaments saved to other rounds. For tournaments not saved to other rounds, edit the tournament in the tournament library (Rounds > Tournaments > Tournament Library).
When creating a tournament and saving it to the Tournament Library, and included it in other rounds (i.e., All Rounds, Select Rounds), there may be circumstances that you want to update the tournament in the current round and all future rounds. In this case, follow these directions to update the tournament and propagate the changes to the templated saved in the Tournament Library and to future rounds where the tournament is included:
Go to the first round you would like to make adjustments to the tournament by going to Round > Select the Appropriate Round > Tournaments.
Click "Edit" for the tournament included in the tournament Library.
Make the necessary changes to the tournaments.
Check the box to "Update in My Tournament Library" (as shown below).
Select one of the available options:
Do not apply changes in any rounds: Changes will propagate in Tournament Library but will not propagate in rounds where the tournament is already included.
Apply changes in all future rounds where the tournament is included: Changes will propagate in Tournament Library and in all future rounds where the tournament is already included.
Apply changes in selected rounds: Changes will propagate in Tournament Library, and the manager will have the option to propagate changes to selected future rounds where the tournament is already included. After the rounds are selected and saved, the manager will have the ability to change the selection by clicking on the "Edit" button displayed next to this option before saving the changes to the tournament
Click "Save."
