What can you do as an organizer?
β 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.
β 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).
β οΈ Time-consuming, but provides full control.

β 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.
β οΈ 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:
β You start the first match (by clicking "+" next to the teams in the first game or by clicking the "Start" button).
β A 0:0 score appears in the first match.
π‘ This is the official kickoff of the tournament!
