🟢 Status: CONFIRMED
When does a tournament receive this status?
The "Confirmed" event status is assigned when:
✅ The organizer clicks "Confirm tournament".
What does this status mean?
✅ The tournament is officially approved.
✅ Full team lineup is secured.
✅ The tournament is ready to start.
✅ In a Group + Group tournament, the Phase II groups are created right away, with slots (e.g. Team A1 = 1st place in group A).
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).
In a Group + Group tournament, also see the Phase II groups with slots.
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.
In a Group + Group tournament, the wizard arranges the matches of both phases at once (steps 1-2: Phase I, steps 3-4: Phase II). Phase II matches show slots instead of team names.
✅ 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.

✅ Changing Group Composition
On the WEB platform, in the "Table" tab, you can:
Swap two teams from different groups (drag a team onto a team from another group)
Move a team to another group (drag it to the "Drop here to move the team to this group" field)
In a Group + Group tournament, do the same with the slots in the Phase II groups
Swapping does not require regenerating the schedule. Moving a team changes the group sizes, so the system will ask you to regenerate the schedule.

✅ 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.

Add breaks between games.
Edit times and pitches for individual matches.

✅ 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!
💡 Make any changes to the Phase I group composition before the first match starts.
