Creating an Event

Once a tournament director has created a tournament, directors and managers can create events within it. You can create as many events as you'd like, each with their own team size, entry fee, and other settings.

  1. Log in to BowlBoard as a tournament director or manager.
  2. From the BowlBoard home page, under Management Tools, click Manage Tournaments.
  3. Under All Tournaments, click the name of the tournament you wish to add an event. You can use the Filter Tournaments section to search for the tournament, if necessary.
  4. On the Events tab, click Add Event.
  5. Fill in all required fields for the event.
    • Name: The name of the event.
    • Description (optional): A public description for the event. You can provide details or rules specific to the event which will display to users. This field supports formatting using markdown. For more guidance on formatting, visit markdownguide.org.
    • Team size: The size of the teams in the event.
    • Entry fee: The cost per person for each squad registration in the event.
    • Games per squad: The number of games a participant will play per squad registration.
    • Allow self registration: If enabled, users will be able to register in-app for squads in the event up until the cutoff time as set in the tournament settings.
    • Lane pair shift enabled: If enabled, and lane assignments are in use, bowlers will shift left or right one pair for each game. Controls for the shift direction appear when this box is checked.
    • Divisions enabled: If enabled, bowlers can be assigned a numerical division in the tournament, and standings will break out according to division. Example: adult bowlers could be Division 1 and youth bowlers could be Division 2. The standings page will have a combined "Overall" tab, as well as a "Division 1" tab and "Division 2" tab.
  6. Click Create Event.
