Your tournament is now sanctioned, and you're ready to launch registration. Here are a few steps to get you started.
Checking your Organization's Settings
Log in to Spordle ID in your tournament organization. If you don't have access, your parent organization (club or region) can grant you access with the Tournament Registrar role.
Once logged in, click on the Manage menu and then My Tournament to ensure the following information is accurate:
Organization logo: Verify that your organization's logo is uploaded. Click here for documentation on how to upload a logo.
Organization name: Ensure your organization's name is correctly displayed. Note: do not add the year for the tournament in the name - this will be added automatically.
Address of your tournament: Check that the address provided is accurate.
Tournament staff: Add your tournament contacts to be displayed on your tournament page. Click here for documentation on how to add staff to your organization.
Verifying your Merchant Account
If you process credit card payments, ensure that your My Tournament profile has the correct merchant account information.
If you don't have a merchant account and wish to process credit card payments, click here and follow the instructions for creating a merchant account.
Note: If your merchant account does not appear in the Manage / Organization / General / Merchant Account section, please open a support request so we can updated this for you.
Checking Competitions
A competition in the Spordle ID platform is a tournament offered for a certain category, division, and class. Depending on your needs, it may have a limited or unlimited number of teams. It corresponds to a schedule in Spordle Play.
Competitions already sanctioned are displayed in the Competition section of your My Tournament organization profile.
Important
Approved competitions are available in Spordle ID to register teams. These are the competitions that your federation has approved.
Published competitions will be available in the public display and are therefore open for registration to all.
Make sure you are in the right season before checking. Competitions are per season.
Make the following checks for each competition:
Make sure that the correct competitions are listed.
You can delete a competition if no teams are entered or remove the publication date if a competition is unavailable. View the documentation The side panel of your request.
If a competition is missing, you can add it. This new competition will not be available for registration until it has been approved and published. View the documentation Request a sanction.
For existing competitions, please ensure that
the dates are correct;
the number of places is correct;
the team entry fee is correct.
Competition names have been set by default according to the category/division/class requested during sanctioning. This will be the name of the schedule in Spordle Play. If you wish to edit it, you can do so in this section, and it will be synchronized with Spordle Play.
Add Publication Date in the Competition
Publishing and Unpublishing Option: The update allows users to control the visibility of tournaments on Spordle ID. Once approved, they can publish a tournament, ensuring it appears on the platform. Conversely, they can unpublish a tournament, removing it from public view while retaining all data within Spordle ID.
Control Over Tournament Visibility: This feature gives organizers flexibility in managing tournament visibility, aligning with their scheduling and promotional strategies.
Approval requirement: Tournaments can be published only after the Federation approves the sanction request, which ensures that only authorized competitions are visible to users.
Where to Find My Tournament
The best place to find your tournaments is on the Spordle page network.
Tournaments are displayed in the Federation and Regional Tournament tab, and each tournament organization has its page. So it's easy for your teams to find you and register.
How to Register my Teams
A team can be added to a tournament if it exists in the current season. Registrars must create their teams or rollover teams so that the teams are available. View the documentation Creating Teams. Note that it is not necessary to have players on the team to register for a tournament.
Once the tournament has been published, there are three ways to register a team for a tournament:
As a tournament registrar, you can search for a team in all existing teams. View the documentation Tournament - Register a team ;
As a club registrar, you can register a team for a tournament. View the documentation Organizations - Register a team;
As a team, I can register for a tournament. See Tournament documentation for details.
Only approved teams will be displayed on the tournament pages and in Spordle Play.
Approve my Teams
The tournament registrar will be able to track registrations and approvals in the Teams menu of his tournament. Registered teams will be displayed in the tournament Teams section. The tournament registrar can filter by Competition and Status in this table.
Once the team has been approved, it will be displayed on our pages and transferred to Spordle Play.
See our complete documentation Tournament - Team approval manage.
