Assign matches to courts

Role requiredTournament organizer

What you’ll achieve: every group placed on a court, with match times that don’t collide — the last setup step before you release the phase.

Prerequisites: a court map with courts on it, and matches created. This is step 5 of the setup checklist — Assign Courts.

Two ways to assign

Once matches exist, the Assign Groups to Courts guide offers two paths:

1. Auto-assign — “Groups are distributed evenly across courts and match times adjusted so no games overlap.” The fastest option, and usually the right one.
2. Assign manually — “Tap a court on the map, then assign a group to it.” Tap a court, choose Assign Group, pick the group in Select Group, and repeat until every group has a court.

Tip

Auto-assign spreads the load and de-conflicts times for you. Reach for manual assignment only when a specific group needs a specific court (a show court, a court near the officials’ table, and so on).

What’s next

With every group on a court, you’re ready to advance to Phase 1 and release the matches to players.
