How do I add events and set the entry fee?

People enter an event, not a tournament. Each event can carry its own fee.

The short answer

An event is one age group, one gender and one type, such as Boys U15 Singles.

Use the quick add option to create a standard set, then remove what you are not running.

The tournament fee applies to every event unless you set a fee on the event itself.

A doubles event is entered by a pair. One pair is one entry and one fee, not two.

Step by step

  1. Open the tournament and go to the Categories tab.

  2. Use Quick add standard set to create the usual events in one step.

    Then delete the ones you are not running. That is faster than adding them one at a time.

  3. Add any event the standard set does not cover.

  4. Use Entry fee by type if singles and doubles cost different amounts.

    Leaving a fee blank means the event uses the tournament fee.

Things that go wrong

A doubles pair pays one fee, not two

One pair is a single entry with a single fee. Set the doubles fee to what the pair pays in total, not to what each player pays.

Age limits are enforced when someone enters

A player outside the age band is refused automatically and told why. You do not need to check birth dates by hand.

Clearing a fee does not make an event free

An event with no fee of its own falls back to the tournament fee. To make an event free, set its fee to zero.
