Choosing a format
The tournament systems FairGame ships — round-robin groups, knockout, groups into a bracket, and the re-seeding ladder for large youth fields.
Categories and groups
Splitting a tournament into divisions, distributing teams into balanced groups, and what changes when you move a team that already has matches.
Teams and clubs
Getting the team list in — spreadsheet import, manual entry, contact emails — and why linking teams to clubs changes the schedule.
Venues and pitches
Describing where the tournament is played — sites, pitches, availability windows — and why availability is the setting that decides whether a schedule exists.
Registration
Opening a tournament for clubs to register their own teams — the join link, who pays, and reviewing submissions.
