The Tournament Overview

Old World Rankings · Published 12 Jun 2026 · 2 min read

Use the Overview tab's checklists to get your event ready, edit its details and publish it.

The Overview tab is the first screen of your tournament dashboard. Use it to see what is left to do before you publish, edit your event's main details, and publish the event.

The bar across the top holds Publish, Save, the Setup / Game Day switch and Help with this screen. Your Dashboard: Setup and Game Day explains the tabs and how saving works.

The checklists

Ready to Publish shows what most events have before going live: the basics, a player pack and an entry fee (or marked free). Before Event Day covers registration dates, scoring, scenarios, round start times and co-TOs. Click Configure on any amber item to jump to the right tab.

Publish

Click Publish in the status bar. It only needs the name, start date, rounds and player cap.

  • You can publish without a player pack, but players will expect one, so add it on Documents soon.
  • If you charge an entry fee and Stripe is not connected, you get a Payment Setup Incomplete warning. Players cannot register until payouts are connected. See Setting Up Stripe Payments.

Edit details

The Overview tab does not use the Save button in the status bar. In Tournament Details, click the pencil next to a row, change it, then click Save under that row. The format picker and the Player Grudges switch save as soon as you click them.

Player Grudges (on by default) lets players, or team captains, request a grudge match before round 1 pairings lock.

The arrow menu

The arrow at the end of the status bar has View Event, Registration Page (a preview while in draft), Unpublish, and Reset Round Data, which clears results back to a chosen round. Use that one with care.

Deleting an event

Delete Tournament at the bottom removes the event with its attendees, pairings and results. Click it twice to confirm. It is greyed out once a round has started (use Reset Round Data first), and a completed tournament cannot be deleted.
