Creating a bracket event in Live Tourney allows you to organize and manage a golf tournament using a match play bracket-style competition format. With Live Tourney's user-friendly interface, setting up, managing, and playing in bracket events becomes seamless. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps of creating a bracket event using Live Tourney.
Access the Bracket set up
To get started, log in to your Live Tourney account and navigate to the dashboard. In the dashboard menu, click on "Bracket" to access the bracket event creation page.
Step 1: Event Information
In the first step of event creation, provide the essential event information, including:
- Event Name: Enter a descriptive name for your bracket event.
- Date: Select the starting date of the tournament.
- Course: Specify the golf course and tees where the event will take place.
- Holes: Choose between 9 or 18 holes for the tournament.
- Players per Team: Define the number of players in each team.
- Game Type: Select the game type for the tournament (e.g., stroke play, match play, etc.).
- Handicap Allowance: Specify the handicap allowances for the tournament.
Step 2: Player Details
In the second step, you have two options to add players:
- Registration Portal: Choose whether you want to create a registration portal for the event, allowing participants to register themselves.
- Add Players: If you prefer to manually add players, click on "Add Players." You can add players from your roster, by GHIN number, manually with name and handicap, or via a spreadsheet. Once the players are added, you can easily drag and drop to form teams based on the specified number of players per team.
Step 3: Set the Bracket
The final step is setting up the bracket for the tournament. The bracket will auto-populate based on the order of the teams you added in the previous step. However, you can customize the bracket by clicking the "X" next to a team name or BYE to remove them from the bracket and move them to the “Teams to Seed” area. From there, you can rearrange the teams as desired. If you wish to start over and reset the entire bracket, simply click "Reset Bracket."
You will also need to set dates for each round to indicate when those rounds must be completed by.
Confirm and Create Event
Once you've reviewed the event details and made any necessary adjustments, click "Confirm" to create the bracket event. You'll now see the event in your dashboard, and by clicking on its name, you'll be taken to the live scoring leaderboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a bracket event in Live Tourney. With Live Tourney's comprehensive features and live scoring leaderboard, you can efficiently manage and track the progress of the tournament, ensuring an engaging and competitive experience for all participants.
