⚙️ Creating a new tournament

Step by step

1. Log in at uwtornooi.be.
2. Click Nieuw tornooi (new tournament).
3. Fill in the basic details:
   • Name of the tournament (e.g. Summer Tournament 2026).
   • Sport (football, volleyball, padel, basketball, petanque, tennis or general).
   • Start and end date — choose different dates to make it a multi-day tournament.
4. Click Aanmaken (create).

You automatically land in the management screen of the new tournament. Everything can still be changed later on the Instellingen (settings) tab — including the sport, via the Sport dropdown.

Address of the tournament

You enter the venue on the Instellingen (settings) tab, in the Address (general) field — right below the tournament name. Type the address and click outside the field: it is saved immediately (✓ Saved).

That address appears in the header of the public live page, with a link to the map, so participants and supporters find their way straight away. Leave it empty and nothing is shown. If you play at several venues, use an address per field instead — see Managing fields.

The getting-started checklist

For a new tournament the Start tab appears at the top of the menu, holding the checklist 🚀 Get your tournament ready. It guides you step by step: set the dates, add teams, create the layout, generate the match schedule and — optionally — set up your registration page. Every step links to the right page and is ticked off automatically once it is done. When all required steps are complete, the checklist and the Start tab disappear by themselves.

Next steps

1. Add categories (e.g. Series A, Series B) and give each its own colour.
2. Add fields/courts.
3. Add teams under Deelnemers (participants).
4. Choose a format under Indeling (draw).
5. Schedule the matches under Schema (schedule).
6. Share the live link under Presentatie (presentation).

Frequently asked questions

Can I still change the sport afterwards?

Yes. Everything you fill in when creating the tournament can be changed later on the Settings tab — including the sport, via the Sport dropdown. So there is no need to create a new tournament if you got it wrong.

How do I create a tournament across several days?

Pick a different start and end date when creating it. It then automatically becomes a multi-day tournament and the schedule gains the matching options: a date field per match, a day filter and the End per day field.

What is the starter checklist and why does it disappear?

For a new tournament the Start tab sits at the top of the menu with the 🚀 Get your tournament ready checklist: dates, teams, format, schedule and optionally your registration page. Each step links to the right page and ticks itself off once it is in order. When all required steps are done, the checklist and the Start tab disappear by themselves — so that is a good sign.
