Do you run the same tournament every year? Then there is no need to start from scratch each time. Go to your Dashboard with the overview of your tournaments. Every tournament card has a copy button (⧉) in the top right. Click it to make a copy.
In the dialog you decide which parts are copied along:
You give the copy a new name and, if you like, new dates right away. If you leave the dates empty, the copy keeps the dates of the original.
After copying, you land on the new tournament right away, ready to adjust.
Not by default. Results — scores, statistics and standings — are deliberately left unticked so you start with a clean slate. The Schedule (categories, groups, brackets and matches, without results) is ticked by default.
Only if you leave them empty. If you enter new dates in the copy dialog, the copy gets those. You also give it a new name there.
Yes, if you tick Settings. That covers the scoring, extra standings, player statistics, the registration form, your styling and the co-managers. One exception: sponsor settings are never copied and fall back to the defaults.
That works. The matches are then copied without participants and you fill in the teams later. The copy always starts as a draft and is editable straight away — even if the original's schedule was locked.
