Set up seasons and confirm

This section allows you to set up tournament seasons. You can either set up season recurrence or create new seasons manually. Seasons (and parts within seasons) will help you to manage the tournaments that you run, creating different themes etc. Game/player stats are also aggregated by season.

Unless you know what you're doing at this stage (i.e., you've set up a game in the Tournament Dashboard previously), select "Default" then click the "Continue" button (you can change these settings later).

Once done with the seassons setup, continue to a confirmation step. Review your game settings and click on Create game

Congratulations, you've successfully created your game in the 🏆 Tournament Dashboard.

The Tournament Dashboard is navigated using the icons shown in the bar on the left-hand side of the screen. As you click on the icons, the content for that icon will be displayed in the main part of the screen - the left sidebar will always be visible.

As you go through the setup process, the system will attempt to help you make sure that you're completing all the relevant steps by:

  • showing indicators for mandatory data
  • showing specific messages at the bottom of the page if:
    • you attempt to save your configuration/setup while there are still tasks that you need to complete
    • you've made a mistake
