Creating a round robin event in Live Tourney allows you to organize a tournament where participants compete against each other in a series of matches. With Live Tourney's intuitive interface, setting up and managing round robin events becomes effortless. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps of creating a round robin event using Live Tourney.
Access the Round Robin set up
To get started, log in to your Live Tourney account and navigate to the dashboard. In the dashboard menu, click on "Round Robin" to access the round robin 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 round robin event.
- Date: Select the starting date of the tournament.
- Points per Hole: Define the number of points awarded for each hole.
- Points per Match: Specify the number of points awarded for winning a match.
- Players per Team: Determine the number of players in each team.
- Max Points per Match: Set a maximum point limit to be collected per match.
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 Groups
The third step is to set up the groups for your round robin event. Groups represent divisions where players compete against each other. To add a new group, click the "+" icon, and to remove a group, click the "x" icon. You can name the groups as desired. Once all players are assigned to groups, click "Next" to proceed to the final step.
Step 4: Adding Rounds
Adding rounds to your round robin event involves two parts. In the first part, set up the round information, including:
- Tee Times or Shotgun Start: Choose the starting method for the round.
- Round Name: Enter a name for the round.
- Round Date: Specify the date of the round.
- Course and Tee: Select the golf course and tee for the round.
- Holes: Choose between 9 or 18 holes.
- Players Per Team: Modify team size within the round.
- Game Type: Select the game type for the round.
- Handicap Allowance: Specify the handicap allowances for the round.
- Max Course Handicap
In the second part, create the matches for each group. Live Tourney will automatically generate matches for each group, but you can make changes by clicking the dropdown and selecting a different player or team for the match.
Confirm and Create Event
Once you've reviewed the event details and made any necessary adjustments, click "Confirm" to create the round robin 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.
