🟢 Status: CONFIRMED
When does a tournament receive this status?
The "Confirmed" event status is assigned when:
✅ The organizer clicks "Approve Tournament".
What does this status mean?
✅ The tournament is officially approved.
✅ Full team lineup is secured.
✅ The tournament is ready to start.
Coaches of real teams in the tournament receive a notification about the approval.
🎯 Match scheduling is now available.
What do participants see?
All users:
See the tournament with the "CONFIRMED" status.
Can see the full list of participating teams.
See teams assigned to specific groups (in Group Phase format).
See the schedule (if the organizer has already created it).
Confirmed teams:
Receive a notification: "Tournament {tournamentName} has been confirmed! Your team {teamName} will participate on {tournamentDate}."
Can see tournament details and wait for the schedule.
Invited teams (rejected):
The "Invitations" section is now HIDDEN.
Teams that did not respond receive a "Rejected" status (without notification).
They no longer see this tournament in their invitations.
What can you do as an organizer?
✅ Creating the Match Schedule
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP!
You have two options:
Option A: Automatic Generation
Click "Generate automatically" or "Generate tournament schedule" in the "Schedule" tab.
The system creates a schedule considering:
number of teams and format,
available pitches,
match/break times,
tournament dates/hours.
✅ Recommended for most tournaments.
Option B: Manual Creation
You define:
the date and time,
pitch number,
competing teams for every match.
The system verifies correctness (conflicts, overlapping matches).
⚠️ Time-consuming, but provides full control.

✅ Adding Referees
You can add people to help manage the tournament:
Tournament details → "Invite organizer/referee" or "Invite Referee".
Enter their name.
Select the user from the list.
Click “INVITE”
The person will receive a notification to accept the role.

✅ Removing Teams
You can remove a team from the tournament:
Click the red X button next to the team name.
Consequences:
If you remove a team before the first match, the status will revert to "Open".
You will need to add a new team (or reduce the total number of teams) and re-generate the schedule.
⚠️ NOTE: Once the tournament starts (status "In Progress"), teams cannot be removed!
Moving to the next status
The status automatically changes to "In Progress" when:
✅ You start the first match (by clicking "+" next to the teams in the first game or by clicking the "Start" button).
✅ A 0:0 score appears in the first match.
💡 This is the official kickoff of the tournament!
